China also saw some impact but wouldn't specify because "undersea communications cables fall in the area of state secrets."

Whats to hide about where the cables are?

Weather reports in China are now considered state secrets.

I guess what time of day Hu Jinato likes to drop a log is a state secret, too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the US was still the leader in this industry?

Yeah. But I noticed a drop in spam over the weekend and Monday.

Hmmm. Nah. Unrelated.

No redudant network?

Wow, look like they didnt have any redundant network. I guess they are going to spend billions next couple months to build another redundant network so this won't happens again.

Heads will roll, no doubt

So which of these networks are down ?
Is it worse than it sound or just media gloom and doom ?

How does China keep her secrets?

Well let me tell you...

First of all, an ostrich protects itself from danger by sticking its head in the sand.

When our daughters were but wee lil girls, they would walk up to the couch, which was waist tall to them, and bend over and lay on it and stick a pillow over their head and say, you can't find me!

That's what China is doing. How reminiscent...
