      Chuck Norris and McGyver don't need keys. Vin Diesel wouldn't act. Kermit is full of bugs. Chris would probably take a biking holiday. (Who is MIL?) JSOP might be happy just to leave the tubes clogged.

      Actually Chuck Norris has already restarted the Internet ... twice... (and yes without a key)

        They will try to use their hijacked iPhone, but unfortunately technical support will refuse to help them, because of some licensing issue. So... Well, hmmm... Chuck Norris will do it a third time (Actually he hijacked his iPhone... twice ... too...)

          That's called cognitive dissonance. The original 'net was designed to be decentralized and resilent. Today, as a consumer product, not anymore. For a decentralized, resilent net, each T3 line would have to be 500 geographically separated 100k lines.

            I'm surprised everyone is concerned about booking flights. Surely these are people who have access to their own plane. Running an airport, or running airspace control, though...

                    Oh, I just can't wait until the hacks in hollywood get a hold of this. PROT runs through the terrrist small arms fire, shooting eleven of the 638 attacking terrrists with his snub-nose .45. One of the terrrists sets off the over-sized sticks of dynamite strapped to his chest, but PROT leaps away from the explosion, fires the remaining seven bullets from his snub-nose .45 at the bulletproof glass partition, weakening it just enough to dive through through it and reach the card reader. Just as he reaches the card reader, the terrrist boss emerges from the smoke, and is revealed to be PROT's former partner, who he thought had been killed in a terrrist attack on the company picnic, but who had survived, and blamed the Internet for the death of his son... Damn, this stuff just writes itself!

                                      Oh, I just can't wait until the hacks in hollywood get a hold of this. PROT runs through the terrrist small arms fire, shooting eleven of the 638 attacking terrrists with his snub-nose .45. One of the terrrists sets off the over-sized sticks of dynamite strapped to his chest, but PROT leaps away from the explosion, fires the remaining seven bullets from his snub-nose .45 at the bulletproof glass partition, weakening it just enough to dive through through it and reach the card reader. Just as he reaches the card reader, the terrrist boss emerges from the smoke, and is revealed to be PROT's former partner, who he thought had been killed in a terrrist attack on the company picnic, but who had survived, and blamed the Internet for the death of his son... Damn, this stuff just writes itself!

                                      I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
