Internet Meltdown Predicted for Tomorrow
I can't wait for the day when "HLPed" will be a verb with the same meaning as "Slashdotted". ;7

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

"shut down the Internet"

the security they have at the root DNS servers both physically and software is unbelievable.

and really, that's the only way you could shut down the Internet... unless of course if you snip the thousands of fiberoptic lines across the atlantic and pacific ;)

How do we know the internet isn't down? What if the very instant the internet went down, there was a rupture in spacetime and we were plucked out of this world into a contrived environment created by super-intelligent life forms, where we will live out the rest of our lives oblivious to the fact? Then once we die, we will be given rebirth as all-powerful overlords of civilization.

Because you have 2009 in your name, so everyone thinks it's not due to happen for 5 years :p
