state security forces are attacking journalists and the government is trying to impede web access in order to silence the spread of what is happening.. they may just be in over their heads on this one

Saw that all traffic to Egypt is null. Really shitty, that.
One of the contests for detecting Wi-Fi hit a barrier because we detected as far away as possible: the curvature of the Earth was the only thing impeding the Wi-Fi signals thaty were picking up. IT would be quite easy to setup a Wi-Fi network and "beam" out lots of information just using a home setup. Just "phone in", in coded speech, your coordinates, and, bam: ad-hoc network.
Why is that relevant? Because I call bullshit on no networking in and out of Egypt: there is someone in Egypt far smarter than I could ever hope to be, already doing it. There has to be. I just can't imagine an entire country going "dark."

No, DDM. You are indeed smarter than everyone in Egypt.

I was referring to just the hacker community in Egypt. I'm a "hacker n00b." If I've thought of a way around it, the hypothetical hacker I spoke of thought of and implemented 100. That's how it works.

Yeah, most free-thinking adults do not like to be treated like small children. I can understand their frustration. However, I don't want us to kill each other (humans.)

It will be interesting to see how this plays out and how the rest of the world's governments react. Revolutions in the Middle East could define this entire decade.

I foresee more of this type of riots in the near future.
Hopefully, events like these will bring the downfall of Monarchy/Plutarchy and the rise of Democracy in the Arab world.

Major government buildings have been burned and some people have said that the army is clashing with police forces.
Nation wide curfew is, predictably, having no effect.

While violence is part of nature, with 6.5 billion and growing, we're doing a pretty good job at not killing ourselves off.
I mostly blame S.E. Asia and Africa, those pricks just can't stop offing each other.
