Wow... a bunch of computer people who know more than I do.. anyway. I think it would be really difficult to shut down the internet ... and would it even matter that much? I'm sure people would just do the same thing except SLIGHTLY differnet and form another thing that would work the same. I mean come on, like with y2k everyone was trying to change stuff around...they'd do the same thing!

If you have IE 4.0 or higher, around 5 lines of html will crash your browser (just html, nothing else)...

Here's the article on it: http://www.secunia.com/advisories/8642/

Haha, I was laughing when I saw that on slashdot today. And you really only need one line.

Of course, crashing IE is FAR FAR less than crashing the internet. If all you had to do to crash the internet was to crash IE, we'd be in trouble :D

PS. I'm glad I don't use IE :)
