@2 replies: Most companies that big also have a legal department that you, as an employee, can ask specific questions of to make sure you're not running afoul of any terms of your employment. Plus you can always get your own lawyer to check things out.

@Missie: Thank you! This type of comment is why I even bothered to look at the article. It was a "I know there is going to be something really clever in the comments" situation, and you just delivered. Thank you!

@BoscoH: Sadly, Farmville probably has better redundancy that the airlines. But Farmville makes more money, too, so they can afford it.

@whatne1wuddo: I thought cost went down when amortized over a large number of consumers? Oh, wait ... that's in a competitive market.

@gemcosta: I think the Scripps Spelling Bee should use the example sentences from the urbandictionary one year...
