Mediterranean Undersea Cables Cut, Again 329

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday December 19, 2008 @04:11PM from the cut-me-twice-shame-on-you dept.

miller60 writes "Three undersea cables in the Mediterranean Sea have failed within minutes of each other in an incident that is eerily similar to a series of cable cuts in the region in early 2008. The cable cuts are already causing serious service problems in the Middle East and Asia. See coverage at the Internet Storm Center, Data Center Knowledge and Bloomberg. The February 2008 cable cuts triggered rampant speculation about sabotage, but were later attributed to ships that dropped anchor in the wrong place."

Actually lynchings were often conducted in daylight, led by the unmasked pillars of the community. Afterall they were doing the work of justice.

I go to GenCon for a mere four days and I come back to 57 messages at Slashdot. What are you people on?

Just a polite reminder that if you want to review Order of the Phoenix in your journal please mark clearly in the title that you are reviewing and if you are spoiling the plot. There are still some of us who haven't gotten the book. In my case the local bookstore didn't order enough for its reservations.

I admit that I do add all my fans to my friends list. Except one, but I think he may have fled slashdot. If he is still around he may see this though.

I noticed something odd today. ObviousGuy is now my friend, fan, friend of a friend, and foe of a friend. Its quite quite amusing now to look at his posts and see that half the line is taken up by his indicators. Also I've begun to collect some non-troll freaks making my freak total than my fan total.

Journal Journal: First Freak 4

Journal by dalassa on Thursday November 21, 2002 @10:14PM

I acquired my first freak recently. Everyone give pcs305 a hand, I'm flattered that people actually dislike me enough to add me as a foe.
Which got me thinking, do people actually like the friend/foe system. What do people think of the new friend of friend, foe of friend?

Journal Journal: Proud to be a feminist 2

Journal by dalassa on Monday November 18, 2002 @10:44AM

This got me thinking.

Why do people dislike feminists? Why do women get sexist and harrasing comment on slashdot? Hell why do we get stared at in CS classes.
No I don't have an answer, all I know is that eventually you can be accepted as "one of the boys" but usually only if you act like one of the boys. Thats not quite a good thing.
