#93 egypt web outage consequences

Some special internet users are not going to accept the Egyptian internet blackout without a response.

Bank of America got hit for one day after Wikileaks went down.

The Egyptian shutoff could result in an equal reaction from those in the the world internet community who have the skills to do something about corporate and government sites world-wide, maybe even starting in Egypt.

One thing I learned from being a programmer is that everything must be just right for an automated system to run.

Computers don't understand shades of gray, only black and white, on and off, binary 1 and 0, digital combinations of binary 1's and 0's that must be 100% accurate, not even 99.999999 percent will cut it.

One 0 where a 1 should be, or vice versa, and things could stop all over the world.

Then it becomes looking for a needle in a hay stack to find that one "bit" of information, that one switch that is turned off or on, the opposite of what it should be to get things running again.

Egypt, please turn the internet back on before some people turn the rest of your and/or the world's computer systems off.
