More lullabies to calm baby's nerves: http://edition.cnn.com/2008/TECH/02/08/internet.outage/ Great quote: ""Theories that the U.S. government was behind the cable cuts to create an information blackout for whatever reason are ridiculous, Beckert said. "The U.S. military uses those cables," he said, "they would find it quite inconvenient," although Beckert added that the military also uses satellites to run communication traffic as a secondary route." Similar reasoning was used, no doubt, after the CIA orchestrated the overthrow of the democratically elected leader of Iran in 1953, and put a dictator in his place: "The United States loves democracy and only wants to help it thrive throughout the world. The idea that we'd topple a democracy to install a dictator is ridiculous!" even better: http://blogs.wsj.com/biztech/2008/02/08/whats-cutting-the-cables-cont/?mod=googlenews_wsj "The other day we wrote that the most likely explanation was an errant boat anchor. And, indeed, we’ve just received word that Flag Telecom, which operates the cable that was cut between Dubai and Oman, found an abandoned five-ton anchor at the scene. We did allow that there was a chance – albeit slight – that the cables were cut by sharks with laser beams on their heads. But by and large, our goal was to persuade people to take off the tinfoil." "Our goal was to persuade people to take off the tinfoil." That's so clever! Of course, their "rational" theory only accounts for one f'ing cable! Don't tell me: anchors all over the world are just falling off their ships, and just happen to be landing on internet cables, hundreds of miles from each other. That's perfectly reasonable! Anchor chain-eating bacteria are probably to blame! But that's good enough. If you think otherwise, you also must think that aliens are beaming mind-control waves into your brain. It IS all or nothing, after all. Satan's greatest tool: instilling the absolute, unquestioned need to "fit in". Everything else -- like the desperate need to find "reasonable" explanations for events that serve the powerful, no matter how, in fact, unreasonable such explanations are -- flows from there. Mystery solved. lol!
