Re:Old news, but provides a fine example of TCP/IP (Score 1)

Hhhhmmmm, I also work in a huge multi-international company and we have had one site go down today but not due to this. We have sites located all over this area and if anything at all we never had an issue at all and went to back up right away with out any end users noticing a thing. We also pay millions for our network infrastructure and have a direct line for ourselves. Not all of the Middle East is totally down....... But people have to understand that relying on the internet and technology only is not always the way to be, there will always be breaks somewhere as well as power outages. Working with technology for years in all types of feilds, I find too many people do not understand that you always need a backup of some kind whether it be pen and paper and a trip to the library!
