One of the sources I use to keep track of natural hazards (i.e.
earthquakes) which may affect the net has been off the net for the
last few days. The US Geological Survey (along with the rest of
Department of Interior) Internet access was shutdown earlier this
week. On December 8, Judge Lamberth modified his order allowing
some services to be restored.
First @Home and then the Department of the Interior, US Judges have
disrupted more Internet users in the last couple of weeks than any
other source. What next a judge riding a backhoe?
