Please Please calm down. Techies and Geeks have a rough and ready sense of humour. There is >no way< to take the Internet down for maintainence. It was designed to have no central point of control so that no one could shut it down. Don't you think that RIAA would have been filing lawsuits left and right if they thought they could take the Internet down or even take large parts of it down.

This is a big joke because those of us who have been on this thing since it was called the ARPANET know it was designed without a central point of control without anyone owning it or controlling it etc. It was designed to supposed survive a nuclear war, which is something even the producers of "Internet KIlled the Video Star" understand. I advise watchingt that and relaxing. Here is a link to it: http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/content/regurge01


Have Fun,

Is anyone else scheduling around this event?  I may need to hire an
internet specialist to make sure this won't affect my business.  If
you are an internet specialist and can help me, I will pay $75/hour
for your services, however long it takes to insure that my systems
will still work after they finish working on the internet.  You must
be in the Seattle area.  If you can help, send me a resume
immediately, because I'll need someone right away for this weekend.
You must know how to help me if my IP is resorted or if we have a data
surge, as posted above.  Send your resume to:

Actually, I believe that since the internet core is run off

platform that this has something to do with the release

Microsoft SP1
for their 2003 release yesterday.  ;)

Internet To Close For Maintenance This Weekend
April 1, 2005 Posted: 6:36 AM EDT (1136 GMT)
BERN, Switzerland (Reuters) -- Long-scheduled maintenance will
bring the
Internet down this Saturday from 9PM to 3AM Greenwich Mean Time.
The Internet Architecture Board, in coordination with the United
Nations,
has planned an "infrastructure maintenance window" for several
years.
According to IAB Senior Consultant Ursula Techensp�f "such a
massive network
requires occasional maintenance to upgrade aging equipment." Also
planned is
the first resorting of IP (Internet Protocol) numbers since
before the
dotcom boom.
Techensp�f added "Years ago, when the Internet was largely
academic, such
maintenance was not as stressful or disruptive. Most maintenance
can be
performed on a 'hot' network now, but resetting of the Internet
core still
requires taking it down."
Users should not expect to lose much data, although experts do
warn of a
potential data surge when the network comes back up, and advise
users to
bring systems back on the network slowly and cautiously.
