I don't think a place like Yahoo is down. You might not have a route to it....

But they have a lot of servers, etc.

I know its tough to bring em down, but not impossible. Remember the large DOS attacks that got ebay down ? i believe they also had yahoo down ?

Yeah, that was like 3 years ago. I don't think Yahoo was actually down, just under extremel load so only 10% of the people that tried to access Yahoo could.

EDIT: It's late, I can't type. :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

Let's bring down Yahoo by giving it praise...It will be confused and lock up.

Yahoo's trying to be so many things that it yells "Yahoo!" from all the sales it generates. :D

I thought they already had porn before that? (the adult auctions on Yahoo Auctions perhaps?)
