Would there be a way to spread a virus that targeted and made unfunctional the DNS servers? That would suck, wouldn't it?

Like, it would update all records to point to goatse

I would pour one out for the homies, then go outside. It's awfully nice here today, there's a bright yellow ball in the sky that I seem to remember from childhood.

I'd call PanzerIV and set up a massive lan party. Oh crap, how would I get in touch with him?

On second thought, I'd quickly open up an adult bookstore and make a killing off all the pervs who suddenly had their supply shut off.

I'd be hurting. I live by E-mail and manufacturer's Web sites. Without these two things, life would be meaningless.

Consider the short list of things that could bring the internet down.
- Massive nuclear strikes against all major cities

Yeah, that's about it. I think I would crawl in a corner and die if that was the case.
