i have an idea, turn the internet off to all computers in the power grid,let them use there own Ethernet

[@morriem]

computers for industry, utilities, defense.... should not be hooked to the internet.

[@CstriderNNS]

great minds think alike,you know if we can think off it,so do they, so if it goes down it is our own Gov. who did it..

[@morriem]

20 years in the military, they don't need the internet to communicate.

[@seecanon5840]

You're right Morrie. They would have the lower channels to communicate. Regular people have ham radioes. Thieves are just two things people should look into. It would be great for King Barry though.
