Some People @Home, Some Not @Home

All others are still at the bargaining table. Earlier statements indicated that an example would be made out of one provider, AT&T being the obvious target. Everyone else keep your fingers crossed." There's a Reuters story about AT&T being unplugged. Various submissions have noted that some people who still have connectivity have lost their DNS servers. Just add "64.28.67.150 slashdot.org" to your hosts file and you should be good to go. :)

    I hear that! I wouldn't worry too much about your online status. I dropped to almost 0 since I got Civ3

    I guess none of the Slashdot fruitcakes thought it important that Kamen is gonna reveal what Ginger/IT is on Good Morning America this coming week, possibly Monday. Why the hell nobody seems to be picking up this story is beyond me. I submitted it, but as typical, no response...

    You're right. I really expected Slashdot to report on this a couple days ago when everyone else did. It makes me wonder if VA is somehow invested in the enterprise and thus not allowed to comment publically. We'll all see Monday morning though. Check out theitquestion.com and ginger-chat.com for more info (the latter has a good video of the GMA Friday teaser piece). I really thought there'd be a whole lot of buzz around this through the weekend, but I guess we'll have to wait till Monday.

    Funny. I submitted this story and had it rejected. I never thought VA might be involved with the unveiling process. I understand /. has a fairly broad range with what they publish but maybe CmdrTaco knows what's going to be revealed and doesn't want to let anything slip. ;-)
