The Tangled Web Of Fiber Optics Lines & Gates

sdirector writes "Monday, super investor Warren Buffett jolted the nearly prostrate telecom industry by leading an investment of $500 million in Level 3 Communications ... Buffett's investment could set in motion a complex web of relationships and -- if you play it all out in just the right way -- put Bill Gates in charge of every fiber-optic line in the USA." The actual article itself is pretty interesting reading. Update: 07/12 08AM GMT by C :The link was broken, it has now been fixed. Sorry about that.

Now the whole internet can get BSODed when the routers running the network crash.

WOWOWOWO! Another funny man! HAHAHAHAHA! This day is to good to be true! You are a very funny and witty man! At first I didn't get it...'BSOD?, I said...'What could this be?' HAHAHAHAHA! Now I get it! The entire internet runs on Microsoft hardware which is prone to the 'blue screens of death'...HAHAHAHAHAHA! This is quite hilarious to me and I'm sure to the others within the Slashdot community. It's not often I come across such hilarity at 4:30 in the morning! Who needs coffee when we have a knee-slap wake up call from Mr.Funny Pants himself? HAHAHAHA! These 'blue screen of death' jokes just don't get old. I think I should wake up my girlfriend to read your post. HAHAHAHAHAHA! She laughs too! The cleverness of your banter has once again left me in stitches! Can you imagine the ENTIRE internet crashing! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That would be one big BSOD! HAHAHAHAHAHA! I surely hope that your post gets modded to +10 Hilarious Madcap Funniness! I think my favourite tidbit of joy that you provided was the 'routers running the network' part. HAHAHAHAHA! BSOD Router! Bye bye internet! HAHAHAHAHAHA! BSOD! HAHAHAHAHA! Thanks again for hosing all of us down with your clever repertoire of material. 911? Hi, I'd like to report a drive-by joking! HAHAHAHA! Funny as charged officer! Funny as charged!
