Research Reveals Internet "Black Holes"

Written by Daniel
Wednesday, 09 April 2008

What some users thought was their imagination turns out to be a very real problem

Sometimes you try to reach a site and mysteriously you can't get to it. Perhaps you think its simply your imagination, something wrong with your computer, or perhaps the site is under attack. Or maybe the server that the site is hosted on went down.

We're just lucky that the Web has plenty of redundancy in this part of the world. Remember when cuts were made in three or four undersea cables critical to the Net in the near East recently? Call me paranoid, I thought perhaps our nutjobs in chief decided to attack Iran at that time.

They can't do that! Saudi Arabia has to attack us again before Bush can attack Iran!
