Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Ok, the topic maybe is a joking matter, but here is some food for thought: One satellite goes out, most pagers affected. Police, fire, medical staff are all helpless. Yahoo! does not get news. Pagers do not go through. One satellite. Think about it. Just one satellite. Now think about year 2000: how many satellites, devices, mainframes will be affected simultaneously?
