Mega super nodes (Skype outtage)

Skype knows their users don't care about the technology, they just want it to work (from from foxnews.com):

"Under normal circumstances, there are a large number of supernodes available," network features which act like phone directories for Skype, Haas said. "Unfortunately, today, many of them were taken offline by a problem affecting some versions of Skype."

Engineers created new "mega-supernodes" that solved the problem, Haas said.

And if those fail, we may have to resort to mega-super-duper-nodes.
