Marrant ça, récemment j'ai lu un article sur les cables sous-marins d'une publication pas aussi renommée que slate, qui disait: «In the entire history of submarine cabling, a total of about 40 faults have been attributed to “fish bites”, although these were mainly to telegraph cables prior to 1964. One exception was between 1985 and 1987 when a domestic fibre optic cable in the Canary Islands was damaged by sharks. Improvement to the design and installation of the cables has since strengthened the systems to the point where no further wildlife-related damages have been reported.» L'article aborde aussi les requins de la NSA, de la GCHQ et consorts, en rappelant les origines de la pratique avec l'opération ivy bell. l'article (en anglais) est là: http://builtvisible.com/messages-in-the-deep/ --------------------------- Liste de diffusion du FRnOG http://www.frnog.org/
