Message-ID: <424E1515.6030208@sbcglobal.net> Date: Sat Apr 2 04:40:39 2005 From: chromazine at sbcglobal.net (Steve Kudlak) Subject: Re: Internet Going Down For Maintenance Please Please calm down. Techies and Geeks have a rough and ready sense of humour. There is >no way< to take the Internet down for maintainence. It was designed to have no central point of control so that no one could shut it down. Don't you think that RIAA would have been filing lawsuits left and right if they thought they could take the Internet down or even take large parts of it down. This is a big joke because those of us who have been on this thing since it was called the ARPANET know it was designed without a central point of control without anyone owning it or controlling it etc. It was designed to supposed survive a nuclear war, which is something even the producers of "Internet KIlled the Video Star" understand. I advise watchingt that and relaxing.
