Hence, my 4 unsuccessful attempts to login to/. before getting through. No big deal, just move along.
One thing I have noticed (and it's MY biggest problem with the outage), is that no one has mentioned their Expedia.com site. It's not mentioned by microsoft.co.uk or the article on The Registry. I really need to look at some travel plans so if anyone can find the IP, I'd be grateful...

The question is not, "Would the Internet still function without the U.S.?" but instead "Would the Internet still function without U.S. companies?" Shutting down U.S. ISPs would slow the routing of traffic, and would take some time for equipment to re-route, but it wouldn't stop the eventual delivery to most destinations. However, forcing backbone carriers such as IBM, UUNet, and PSINet *could* possibly bring the Internet to its knees since access over their network extends into all parts of the world.
