Ask Indymedia about how the US government policy toward their servers...

True they aren't alone but a centralized structure is easier to control...

True, the US hasn't done anything like try to destroy any websites that oppose it.........yet :nervous:


With a grab like this it is only a matter of time before it becomes abused.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

As Zarax said, do a google on Indymedia.

really, cause the US "owning" the internets because it was invented there is surely an argument I've heard before...

Besides, my sarcasm meter works in metric only, not imperial :p

The vision of a US-controlled internet infrastructure will be anathema to large parts of the world however and it is a demonstration of the US administration’s failure to think globally that it doesn't recognise that there is surprisingly little preventing other parts of the world from creating a second Internet outside of US control.


I can honestly imagine what happened in the UN when they realised this;


American Representative - "We are taking presidence over the entirety of the Internet...how you like them apples!"

Australian Representative - "Yeah? Yeah? Well...well, we'll make our OWN Internet, with...Blackjack! And...Hookers! ...It'll be called...the Internet2[No Bushes]...how you like THEM apples!"

Everyone Else - "...Applesauce B***h!

Well well, i have to say i´m impressed my country did the right thing for once. See,  most of the content of our national internet sites is located under our own DNS. We don´t use .com, we use mostly .pt. And if i understand all this mumbo jumbo right, we can run our national grid independentlly, if Bush does decide to pull a fast one. Or so i think, because this crap is hard to understand...

:nervous:
No Freespace 3 ?!? Oh, bugger...

They'll never get full control of the Internet, and you know why? One reason; you see ther-



*Paragraph deleted by U.S. Department of Defence - Have a nice day, and enjoy Freedom*



-ybody just dies! So really, for that simple reason and that reason alone, the US will never be able to control the Internet.
