OK all you smart internets / business types . . . how much thought has gone into internet contingency plans? We have expanded into the intarworld rather fast and I, for one, have no idea what our course of action is should it go down for a long period of time. Just wondering if anyone had any insight.

thx.

smoke signals, duh!

1/31/2008 10:28:55 AM

how would it "go down"

1/31/2008 10:29:47 AM

haha you completely missed the point there

1/31/2008 10:29:53 AM

i bet al qaeda did it

1/31/2008 10:30:21 AM

telephone, us postal service, brick/mortar stores, face to face communication?

1/31/2008 10:30:36 AM

Yeah, but that would be a major regressive shock to the world economy, and it wouldn't go down for long anyway. I'm thinking more along the lines of a week or so.

I'm not chicken-littleing here, I'm genuinely curious here . . . and aware of how dangerous that can be in Chit-Chat

1/31/2008 10:32:19 AM

way ahead of ya

1/31/2008 10:34:24 AM

If there was a disaster large enough to take out the internets in the US, we'd have way more problems than not getting your porn fix.

1/31/2008 10:47:06 AM

i'd be out of a job

1/31/2008 10:53:48 AM

i wonder how much under-sea telecommunications cables cost per foot?

1/31/2008 11:37:03 AM

$texas

1/31/2008 11:38:17 AM

haha a boat's anchor might have been the cause. Al qaeda gone fishing again?

1/31/2008 12:43:22 PM

i'd just like to say

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This shit happened elsewhere recently, too. Didn't it?

1/31/2008 12:48:29 PM

So I guess this means we won't be seeing 0EPII1 for a while...

1/31/2008 1:23:55 PM

^ oh ok thats who i was thinking of. i assumed Glove was also there, considering how much of a world traveler he claims to be

1/31/2008 1:25:31 PM

yeah OEPII1 won't be able to tell us how Dubai is so much more technologically advanced than the US

1/31/2008 1:27:01 PM

you know...in a sick kinda way, i think it would be fun as fuck if the internet went down in the US for like 3 or 4 days.
