Californian government deleted
IN A DESPERATE bid to save Californian children form online porn, technology wizards at the Federal Government accidentally deleted the ca.gov domain.
Responding to a call that a hacker had diverted traffic from a California county government Web site to a porn site, the Washington based IT people deleted the domain and went home.
According to Network World, it took seven hours and a "forced propagation" of ca.gov network systems before everything was back to normal.
It all started when the Transportation Authority of Marin Country was hacked. A department within the US General Services Administration in Washington oversees and polices the .gov domain panicked and made a change at a much more global level than probably was necessary.
It made the changes without telling anyone and then the whole lot went down. Web access and e-mail services for government workers were all down too.
The problem happened at 3pm and the Easterners who had taken down the domain name had trotted off home for the night. ยต <P>

"Feared Californication"....?

What's to fear in a Seventh Heaven when IT is Programmed to Pleasure Third Party Appetites to Glorious Sustainable Satisfaction? ...... apart from Selfishness, of course, in its Guise of Exclusivity.

After such a show of professionalism, there are still people who want the US government to _oversee_ the Internet ?
Looks like, with proper Federal bureaucrats in charge, anything that looks like a problem will just get nuked before going home.
Sorry, but that is NOT the kind of oversight I'm waiting for, and that is NOT the level of competence I expect from people in charge of "the internets".

Pascal.
HAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!

Oh thats brilliant!! I could see myself doing that! Ohhh mercy I'll be chuckling all day! XD
...that the great Sacramento money pit should be "deleted". There would be much rejoicing!
What about the folks who commented that it was the RIGHT thing to do?

Of course, since we have porn on the Intarweb, the whole .com should be deleted!!!!!
Folks it's California. Like anyone in the nation really cares about the PRK (peoples republic of kalifornia). We have been waiting for it to fall off into the ocean for some time now and dropping the ca.gov domain was a small but great first step.
