Internet down several hours!
I wonder how many hours were wasted, how many people screwed up their computers trying to find a way to get on AT&T the other night when they had a 5-6 hour down-time, due to a system failure, for which they had no back-up?
What bothers me about this avoidable down time (by having a backup) is not the fact that homes didn't have access to the Internet for a few hours, but what else might have been down?
Have we allowed such facilities as the military, hospitals, fire and police, banks, retail, and on and on to be put into a position of being dead in the water also, eventually?
I see this as another case of corporate greed running wild due to the lack of national regulation and approval. It can be just as important as regulation of the banks, and auditing of the banks!
We have already let the FAA screw up the Airlines with inadequate equipment and personnel training for Air Controllers and safety inspectors. Are we to sit idly by and let our corporations mess up everything with mis-managed computer systems?
The Homeland Security Department is a sham also and doesn't appear to be improving.
The Corps of Engineers have lost their touch. Military Intelligence and Political Intelligence are more inaccurate than accurate.
Our State Department has not made any decent progress in several years in dealing with the middle-east, China, and certainly not Europe.
The FBI is useless right now and must be re-organized from scratch by an old judge who will serve about a year. Good luck with that!
I don't even know if the CIA exists anymore. What is the NIA?
Unless something happens very soon, the Supreme Court won't get packed with numb-skulls as was planned. I admire those old guys for hanging on a little longer.
