Akamai DNS Outage Messes up Net

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the point-of-failure dept.

katre writes "Checking all my favorite sites this morning, I saw that about half a dozen seem to be offline. Trying to figure out why, I found an interesting article on the front page at http://isc.incidents.org/. Seems that the problems at Akamai are screwing over Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Fedex, Xerox, Apple, and others. Whatever happened to my decentralized net with no single point of failure?"

    So you can download the new Firefox 0.9!

    At only 4.6Mb, pop-up blocking, tabbed browsing, themes, security, extentions and more, why are still using IE?

    Why do Conservatives bitch to high hell when anything they say it taken out of context, but repeat dumb quotes by Liberals out of context for years and years?

    Because that's the nature of politics. Comedians like Dave Barry or Jay Leno make a living out of comments out of context, no matter what party or ideology the politico subscribes to. (Though yes, I do believe politics needs more people like John McCain, someone willing to bash and criticize his own party)

    Personally, I do believe Al Gore invented the internet, and I consider myself a centrist with a small liberal leaning. I believe Gore invented because, after all, the internet is all based on AlGorithms.

    They probably don't call Senator Kerry an ultra liberal Senator because quite simply he is NOT ultra liberal.

    Now, Ted Kennedy on the other hand... :)

    The code was taken from a hacked Linux computer at Mainsoft. It was reported elsewere (you might even find the old articles via Google)--but it wasn't reported on Slashdot. One poster even investigated things for himself:

    Do a Google search, it was widely reported on most of the other tech sites.
