Post No internet for 3 days?

What would you do without your daily internet fix?

Third undersea Internet cable cut in Mideast - CNN.com

An undersea cable that carried internet and other data such as phone calls was cut a few days ago in the Persian Gulf.

The surrounding area was left without internet or phones for 3 days.

Quote:
High-technology services across large tracts of Asia, the Middle East and North Africa were crippled Thursday following a widespread Internet failure which brought many businesses to a standstill and left others struggling to cope.
Internet failure hits two continents - CNN.com

They don't know what caused the damage but I assume there will be some precautions put in place for next time. I'd be interested in hearing how much money was lost due to this outage.



I did think of asking you to join my little scheme, but somehow I knew, 007's loyalty was always to the mission, never to his friends. ~006

I cold live without internet for a few days, it's not that hard to go and resort to playing nintendo games on your TV especially when you like nintendo.

"Ohh! OOOhhh!!!-Oh and again! I made it. I know it. I can't see it but I know I made it. Oh my God I made it. Alright, don't give up. This is for everything. This is when I don't have to do it. This one right here is when I don't have to do it, which leaves nothing else but the one. No I don't think so. Not there. God I wish I could turn the volume-OH **** Aahhh son of a **** I talk too much. ****." - 00vega -

I'd have time to get a lot of stuff done that I've been wanting to do. Sadly I'd probably waste all that time doing other pointless ****.

Just play some games, maybe read a book, however contact with my girlfriend would be a problem as she lives about 4 hours (by train) away from me.

Why do I get the feeling most people who replied didn't read the original post?

I think I would go crazy for a little while, maybe watch TV instead. I still wouldn't get anything done.

There was a quote here, but the the person who SAID the quote and pretty much ASKED for it to be placed in my sig asked for it to be removed.
