I have just received a warning email that says at approx 12:45am there is going to be a mass destruction of all peoples internet connection. Apparently internet connection in the whole country is gonna be going down. If you need to send email or speak to anyone on MSN then do it NOW.
Just wanted to let you all know

PS the timing is 1:45 not 12:45 am
it's being put down to peace protesters and angry arabs.
in the guardian today i read that tommorow has been earmarked for a major e attack on isp's around lunch time. the govt reckon they know who is going to do it but they are scattered across the globe so can do nothing about it! i'm keeping mine switched off till afternoon. don't want my pc getting jaundice or anything.
I bet its the same thing as that email i received, you reckon?
you'd be used to it by now if you used NTL services...
But can it harm my PC ???
gawd im showing my computer dumminess now aint i
Mr_Wobble
Assuming it is going to happen, it'd be like someone taking a pair of scissors (or maybe a sword) to your modem cable.
Or simply pulling the cable out.
to answer both your question in order... no and yes.
it's really not a problem, if they're gonna go after the ISPs then they'll just go offline... you won't be able to access the internet at all, but this is all highly unlikely... can be done, but would take some major organising.
fuck it IS just like Hackers...... *runs off to get soundtrack* :rolleyes:
LMAO you didnt need to agree with me
well at least you can take a fucking joke unlike some other people around here... :rolleyes:
Joke is my middle name.....everyone takes the piss outta me
Mind i give back as much as I get
im pretty sure this email is legit like, it came from a site ive had info from before.
Now your asking sommat :eek:
how the hell do I do that??
LMAO in The Site unofficial chat thing they had to show me how to use the alt/tab keys........I couldnt even find the tab key
skurry, NTL must have been prepared..
</relief>
shit i think sommat is going on :eek2:
Well I am able to post.
I Disconnected a few mins b4 and reconnected just after,
mainly cos Kiezo sed he was going to.
The whole of the internet was going slow just b4, hmmmm.
I'm off to bed..so..no nasty wake-up texts
Here I've been sitting on the edge of my seat next to the phone all night waiting for you to txt me! For that... I'll be waking you up in 2 hours
