Do you think the Microsoft Outage and the ground stop are related?

Around 4:00 today I called a friend and said you better check on your flight. I had no idea about the ground stop till watching NBC News at 6:30 PM.
The reason I was concerned I had been at the Post Office around 10:00 AM. All their computers were crashing. The clerk was going around rebooting everything. I was then concerned about my friends flight.

Seriously do you really think hackers are causing all this?

Possible.

But it's also possible some careless employee just brought the whole thing down by testing on the production server. Don't automatically assume conspiracy when stupidity will suffice.
 
When you take into consideration the fact that the air traffic control system still uses floppy discs, it is surprising this is not more common.

it didn;t affect hawaii. .. and had it been a foreign attack i think we would have definitely been hit with outages..... .. we have both russian and chinese warships and surveillance ships cruising just outside the u.s. defensive zone surrounding hawaii all the time...... ....

here;s a pic of a russian warship recently seen just a few miles off oahu.... .that;s a coast guard C130 flying over and keeping a watch on it.......

Pardon me but what is a production server?

A server (file server, database server, Web server, whatever) that does productive work. You don't mess with production, because it's what's making you money. As opposed to one that's set aside for development and testing, which is there to take damage and correct mistakes.
