DU is flyin', while the internets are dyin'
I don't know wtf is going on, but I've had piss-poor connection thru my dsl for two days now; sites I go to all the time, either won't load at all, or just barely, and then don't work. Google searches work slowly or not at all.

Somehow though, DU is operating normally. Even threads with pictures seem to load just fine.

Is the groundwork Al Gore laid finally paying off? Whatevah!, screw the other internets; DU is the internet for me.

They might have to reset the controller card that controls your connection at their end. It's a magic bullet that corrects all problems.

3. "screw the other internets; DU is the internet for me."
OK. TCP/IP is the Internet (only one for public use). Internet2 is a separate project for military and university research. Been in the trenches of tech support.

4. Before you praise Al Gore as the almighty...
Corporations are using the internet and web-based applications to a) OFFSHORE OUR PROGRAMMING JOBS and B) REMOVE OR SUPPORT JOBS.

Nothing is ever one-sided. I've learned that much in my pitiful existence on this second rate planet ran by third rate animals which are bought out by a fourth-world dollar.
