Has YouTube been down to this extent before?YouTube TV went down for an hour in July during the World Cup, but I don't recall the main site being dead for so long (not that I'm on YT all day to really notice, either).The home page sometimes redirects tohttps://www.youtube.com/?pbjreload=10,which looks just as broken as the home page does. Someone got 10 peanut butter & jelly in the reload.

Of course, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that an adversary of SA, say Iran, did this and made it look like SA did it.Brian

I hadn't heard of this site before today. Sample screen below.As for Hal's site, drivel or not - sometimes yes, sometimes no. You have to decide for yourself in each specific case. I use sites like that (many of them) as hints for things to look into. Raising topics that you will never hear of at all on MSM sites.

content: Quote from: raptor1956 on October 17, 2018, 03:32:14 amWe should patiently wait, for the official responses.Even if the link(s) were 100% correct.The real source(s) of the outbreak/hacking, could have been done, somewhere else in the world.Even if it does/did come from that country. It could be completely unrelated to the government(s), there.E.g. London, has been the source (if I remember correctly), of at least one, massive hacking outbreak, on a very big scale.Of course it had nothing to do with the UK government. A hacking group/person based in London/UK, did it.I'm not 100% sure it was London, may have been elsewhere in the UK.Best to wait till the official responses occur. Innocent, till proven guilty.

content: Quote from: raptor1956 on October 17, 2018, 03:48:31 amIf a REALLY profession hacking job was done to cause this. I suspect, it could be made to appear to occur, in all sorts of countries and/or organisations.There is no need for it to stem from the originating country.On the other hand, it could be a political statement. So a country might want everyone to know they did it.E.g. Russia and nerve gas attack(s), on people in the UK, fairly recently.

A cellphone is about 1W, ship transmitters can be kilowatts. Of course if you stick your dick in a microwave oven it won't last long, that's 1000W. Also, you provided no concrete evidence of these ill effects. Are there actual articles or just old man's tales? Plus correlation does not equal causation. A lot of that old radio equipment had asbestos, PCBs, pesticides, and all manner of chemical nasties in it.

content: Quote from: Cyberdragon on October 18, 2018, 02:50:48 pmI've never voluntary read any book cover-to-cover. I used to have to read fiction books at school, cover-to-cover, but never enjoyed it. For entertainment, I listen to music, watch TV, films etc. As far as I'm concerned, reading is for learning and finding information.

content: Does not reading for entertainment have something to do with age? When I grew up there were three TV stations, no cable, no inyernet, and you actually had to "go to the movies". Reading was something I did all the time. It's only in the last 20 years or so that I've slacked off.

content: Quote from: rdl on October 18, 2018, 09:20:12 pmThere might also be a genetic element to it. My father is just like me. He never reads fiction and his family didn't even have a TV until he was about 10. The only things he ever read for entertainment were comics. My mother always has a novel on the go though.

content: Quote from: raptor1956 on October 21, 2018, 01:41:10 amIt's almost certainly BS.While there has been arecently released issue with Linux's TCP stack related to fragmentation, given that it was released months ago you can be fairly sure all the major players have patched.It also doesn't match the behaviour during the outage.
