    No, I wasn't clear enough. I was agreeing with you. Take a look at this picture: That would have been one hell of a ship anchor.

    The US has the technology to tap into these cables and spy on Internet traffic. (The USS Jimmy Carter for example) It makes more sense to me that they were cut to prevent the US from listening than it does for the US to cut the cables.

    How many of the countries that were affected have the capability to do something like this? Or is it just a matter of taking a couple boats out and dragging anchors around until you snag one?

    "Good" "point". You're "right", Joe. It was probably just an "accident".

    Not saying it was an accident.

    Can you just answer who would have what to gain at what specific time?

    I think the cables were cut in an attempt to censor the web feed coming in to the Midle East. If you believe the concept of "Occams Razor", that angle is certainly the simplest and most likely in the light of this little news bit.

    I have it on vinyl still. I really need to get one of those things that will let you record your old albums to mp3.

    I used audacity. It's free and easy to use. I converted old tapes to mp3. It was time consuming because I had to do each track separately, but it was cool to be able to drive around and listen to my old music.
