Phillip Brooks Posted March 24, 2010 Report Posted March 24, 2010 Feb 17, 2010: Google gives $2M US to Wikipedia. March 22, 2010: Wikipedia founder praises Google over China Decision March 23, 2010; 2:00 PM Wikipedia DOWN What do you think? EDIT: OK, after I spend all this time concocting a great plot, it appears it was some overheated servers in Europe that forced traffic to be redirected to Florida, and the DNS redirects are broken. They claim it will be an hour or two for the addressing to resolve itself.. Quote
PaulG. Posted March 24, 2010 Report Posted March 24, 2010 What do you think? If the topic at hand can even be remotely political I avoid Wiki like the plague. They have a cabal over there. Quote
Black Pearl Posted March 24, 2010 Report Posted March 24, 2010 Overheated servers? or a DOS-attack? Felix Quote
Cat Posted March 24, 2010 Report Posted March 24, 2010 it appears it was some overheated servers in Europe Sounds like the direct result of Global Warming to me! (is there a "duck and cover" emoticon somewhere? ) Quote
Black Pearl Posted March 24, 2010 Report Posted March 24, 2010 The temperature rise of the last 3 days is not due to global warming but due to spring. We just had a nice cold winter. Global warming on the other hand would cool us down due to the gulf stream going somewhere else or nowhere at all. But if weather is the issue, the 'famous' weather-forecaster in germany was accused for rape the last days and is in jail at the moment. Maybe chinese hackers are trying to free him. But due to translation problems they missed the jail administrative network and randomly crashed some wikipedia servers. And tomorrow when they will find out what went wrong (don't forget they live in a different time zone!), they will manipulate world news channels with all that 'google' stories. Cat, my brain gets fuzzy when I read your posts. Are you sure your infection isn't transmittable on the digital level? Felix Quote
crelf Posted March 24, 2010 Report Posted March 24, 2010 Sounds like the direct result of Global Warming to me Maybe the DOS attacks have overheated the servers which is what is *causing* global warming, errr, climate change! Quote
Cat Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Cat, my brain gets fuzzy when I read your posts. Are you sure your infection isn't transmittable on the digital level? Yeah, sorry about that. I really have to stop sneezing all over my keyboard. Quote
Phillip Brooks Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Posted March 25, 2010 Thank God that Wikipedia is back on line; I couldn't prove to my brother that Scientology was a controversial subject! Quote
