I can understand that!
Thank you.

"Drudge won't open for me."

That's not what I hear.

"The northern domains are raising a militia to retake the southern domains, starting with the one located at Fort Sumter."

Too bad Freereb isn't still posting; he'd be attacking you now.

[exDemMom]

Your explanation is so clear!

I hate it when people post articles written in ancient Sumerian and expect the rest of us to understand.

Bummer. I'm almost out of cogentness. Now what am I gonna do?

Ha! You should listen to shortwave more often. I knew this was coming. I'm all stocked up on MREs, Silver-water, tin foil and my new cogenterator is humming along quite nicely.

Gotta go out now and look for contrails....

-->That's not what I hear.<--

You've been listening at the wrong keyhole!! :-)

Two major Internet backbone companies are feuding, potentially ...

I know there are a bunch of freepers who talk Sumerian.
I know sorta what a backbone is, sort of an internet freeway, but have no clue how many, who they are and where they're "located".
Is there a web site where we can get a crash course in internet "workings"? Sort of a Complete guide to the Internet for Dummies?

RR is on Level 3, so is Time Warner....

I'm currently a Level 3 partner on their MPLS backbone for VoIP traffic.....

LOL- probably- but I don't know! I noticed so many problems with my accessibility today I called my geek friend who blamed it on voodoo ghosts let loose in NOLA:)

It sounds like it will come back peice by peice. I can get drug now, but I still can't get photobucket among others.

Remember when they said the internet could not be broken.

[motohockey]

Is it me, or was the president ahead of the game when he mentioned the internets in the debate? I want an apology from all who mocked him for it.

On a completely unrelated note, rescind Miers and nominate Janice Rogers-Brown for supreme court.

Drudge is gone again. It looks like this could go on and on.

I am not having any trouble reaching drudgereport.com. I am on Verizon's fiber network and have had trouble with only a few sites.
Here is a trace from my network. As you can see the traceroute goes on level 3's network. Cogent is going to have to cave in and pay for their usage to solve your problems.
