This caused a flood of log-in requests, which, combined with the lack of peer-to-peer network resources, prompted a chain reaction that had a critical impact." Previsously, it was speculated that Skype outage may have been caused by a Russian hack attempt. Further FTA- "The issue has now been identified explicitly within Skype. We can confirm categorically that no malicious activities were attributed or that our users' security was not, at any point, at risk." Butterfly effect?"

I just put the book away; Conscieness explained by Denett. Why? Because I marvel at the complexity and depth of the human mind, even such a simple one as my own mind. It took me 10 years to regain the awe for nature after 5 years of dissecting it at university. One quote at the start of chapter one made me think about that: "we kill to dissect". My dissecting days over, at least, on phenomena of the living world.
Let me dissect a problem with software anytime. Scalpel please...
