  1. Citywide Outages on The Backhoe, The Internet's Natural Enemy · · Score: 1

    I had the opportunity to work with the crew that took out the internet service for Boston in late 2003 (I think it was).

    They were electrical contractors for BigDig work, and were supposed to remove electrical control boxes that were marked "dead". There were 3 marked boxes, 2 were dead electrical boxes that were all set to be removed, the third was a AT&T broadband fiber control box that someone had marked to be removed. All of Boston was without internet for about 8 hours.

    Needless to say, the guys responsible for it were pretty pissed off at whoever marked it. But then again, that's what insurance companies hired by these giant contractors are for. -AA

  2. Re:Screensaver on Review of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex · · Score: 1

    That's absurd! Rebuild the thing yourself. It's a C# application, nothing but some GDI+ drawing text and an image onto a black form, and bouncing it around. I'm very interested what these applications reported to be spyware, because there is not a thing in there that would cause that. As for the reputable part, I've never needed to post to the comments, so I never had an account until today.
