Random: Online Pocket Aces get wasted when ISP experiences "Random Shooting"


Quick post- not too much is happening in the world of law and internet technology (barring the ongoing RIM patent war, which I have very little interest in covering)... except that a man playing online poker has his POCKET ACES wasted AFTER he goes ALL IN... when an ISP is disrupted by (no, seriously) "random gunfire" that takes down one of its aerial wires. A spokesman for the ISP noted during a press conference, "a way to prevent this? don't shoot guns randomly." I bet he got paid to say that.

Seriously. Random gunfire. The only time when internet service provider customer support gets to act even a little hardcore- "Oh your connection is lost? Yea, sorry, must of been RANDOM GUNFIRE. Happens from time to time. Yea, our life insurance policy is real good here."
