And the only servers left standing will be owned by The Robinson Brothers.

Your only access to the REAL world with be through FreeRepublic under fully secure servers.

Give in the quarterly, and if they a few extra “emergency funds” for off-shore movement...kick it in.

Oops! Sorry, that was me.

Just poking around.

I didn’t think anyone would notice.

...websites of major companies that provide the Internet’s basic services repeatedly have been attacked, each time more sophisticated than the last, which suggests “someone” is practicing how to take down the Internet by learning from the companies’ defensive moves.

Life existed before the internet. I remember it.

Some of those were hilarious. Talk about run-ons...

Uhm...this is unsettling, alarming and altogether frightening.

Or I’m overreacting.

Whenever I ponder life without the internet, I try to remember life before we had it. It was more liveable in many ways, but less so in others. Cost/benefit.

The thing is, we eased into this way of life over time. A massive internet shutdown is immediate. Chaos. Anarchy. Unimaginable.

I had someone point out to me recently that practically all inventory replenishment is now internet dependent. If it were to really go down, there would be far more problems than just your Amazon order or not having movies to watch on Hulu.

Banks, commerce of the sort you mention, food, hospitals, pharmacies, the markets...just think about it.
