What's With the Internet Lately?

[Adam Parker]

I'm sure it's all the Wargamer's fault but how's this for paranoia?

1. Yesterday morning the entire Australian Internet connection with overseas crashed.

2. Right now Symantec's world-wide Norton Live Update Server has crashed and is currently being worked on (if you can't run live update that's why btw).

Are we being invaded? [:D]

[DuckofTindalos]

Yes. Didn't you get the memo?

Hi Adam,

I know what you mean. I am in Sydney and get my Internet via Optus. They have started using a newly issued IP address range starting with 110.33.109.XXX and I cannot even access the Matrix website anymore. It's been like that for a month now. Optus have sent an email through to Matrix's hosting service to update their IP address range lists but still no luck. The only access I have now is either through a proxy (which is not very good) or at wok (which is sporadic).

Cheers

Mark

Norton's back up folks (many thanks to "John" at Symantec Customer Service in India for confirming the world had crashed).

Hi Mark, that is frustrating.

I'm beginning to feel that my days as a PC owner are nearing the end. Kinda sowed the seeds when Microsoft released "Defender" as a pay for AV to its own OS! Kinda like saying "hey buy this car but the ignition key will cost you extra".

I am a techo dummy. If you cannot access the Matrix website how can you post here ?

Norton just ran a 59 meg patch. Something's up in thw world.

this is incorrect.  Only customers connected to Telstra's internet services would have been affected, due to a Telstra core router failure and consequent reboot.

Other service providers such as Internode were completely unaffected.

[Adam Parker]

Their router broke?

You think they'd have redundacies. Thanks for the update Chris.

(For the overseas folks - Telstra is to telecoms what Rupert Murdoch is to the news) In fact, Telstra used to be the telco monopoly called "Telecom"!)

[e_barkmann]

it took them over an hour to locate the recalcitrant router and work out it needed a kick [:'(]

He got it but there was a virus attachment.

This is the beginning of that bandwidth squeeze you've been reading about online and in the paper. By 2012 (imagine that the end of the world year) the squeeze will be so bad you'll think you are back to using dialup again. Also, many strange things will happen between now and then as Nostradameus predicted.

I posted from work.

Anyway, I have come home and lo and behold, I can now get back onto the site. Time to catch up on the forums!

Yes,you will see more of this with planet X and 2012 looming near![X(]

The level on which these arguments really blow my mind is not necessarily in their cowardice per se, but rather the delusional beliefs that the cowardice rises out of. Namely, that all terrorists are The Joker. Stop taking films so seriously, Republicans! I mean, sure, we all loved The Dark Night (except if we didn't because of how proud it probably made Dick Cheney), but there is an important difference between movies and reality that Republican's parents woefully did not inform them of. In real life, terrorists do not typically allow federal institutions to arrest them in order to execute miraculously improbable escape plans that win them their freedom and allow them to enact even more atrocious acts of violence against unsuspecting civilians. Once they are behind bars, they pretty much just stay there. Unless they are innocent. In which case, they need a trial. And to ensure the fairness of that trial, it has to be public. Basic stuff, really. Someone should start an NGO called Educating Asshole Republicans on the Fundamental Understanding of Criminal Kases, EARFUCK for short.

Al Gore is mad he hasn't gotten cap and trade passed so is shutting down HIS invention.

[Jevhaddah_Slitherine]
