The Internet War That Will Kill Us All

Damn!  That sounds really scary!  This is an Internet battle that Matthew Prince, CEO of CloudFlare, says is much like a nuclear explosion as "it's easy to cause so much damage."  Just read the report from CNN.  Sure as hell, we're all going to die!  (CNN:  Massive cyberattack hits Internet users)

We really ought to go out to buy bread, milk and toilet paper.  We are SO screwed!

Well, no, we're not.

This whole thing is hype by CloudFlare as Matthew Prince is in the business of selling protection against such things.  The only place affected by this attack is a Dutch business and there's no discernible effect anywhere else on the Internet.

Sam Biddle of Gizmodo reports on what is really going on:  That Internet War Apocalypse Is a Lie.

Scoobie, doobie, doo!

So, yeah, about all that bread, milk and toilet paper you bought.  Well, the cats have no use for the bread or the toilet paper but they will definitely like the milk.  Good luck in your bomb shelter!
