Oh no! Imagine Yahoo with Clippy. That would be horrible.

Hmmm... some of the world's most robust servers are covered in those two sites.
Maybe those in need for decent uptime and reliability should really visit
distrowatch.com more frequently instead of apologing to people for getting
locked out of the Office (yes, it's not only Hotmail which was affected).
People have begun complaining after this incident, saying that /this/ is why
Yahoo must stay away from Microsoft.
