No ODT on Nov 9 ? All broadcast shutdown Nov. 9

Surprised they haven't tested it all at once before, should be painless. Now If they somehow managed to do that with the net, well all hell would break loose. That will never happen.

While the net itself is not something that can be shutdown it could be made extremely hard to access on a worldwide basis. I mean a country shutting down the net is not hard, but the whole world?? If there was a coordinated attack(and I mean world wide MASSIVE coordinated attack)one would assume that if enough DNS servers, ISP's and even the actual root severs were taken down that general access to the net could be severely hampered.

All it would take would be malicious code(worm) that could be created and over time affect millions upon millions of computers worldwide unnoticed until remotely triggered to work all at the same time in a zombie like fashion to do whatever the owner of the code desired to do. This has already happened, but up until now no botnet style attacks have ever been used on a world wide stage attack.

Everyone always talks of the possible Zombie Apocalypse coming when in actuality it has already started and you might already have a zombie living in your house and not even know it..:behindsofa: :p
 
Was at a restaurant when it went off, was talking to the waitress about it. Told her it was probably going to scare some folks. A few minutes later she came out laughing, an employee had called in and asked had we gone to way or something.
