[QUOTE=imadaman;23674189]$50 there'll be an attempt to steal/copy all/five of the keys and an attempt to hold the internet as a hostage.[/QUOTE] "Let's break into a military bunker and hold the internet hostage!" :downs:
And one to rule them all.... [img]http://earlvagary.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/sauron1.jpg[/img]

But if the internet is shut down that's millions if not billions in lost productivity and revenue. Everything uses the internet nowadays, businesses, government, and even your money. Every second it's down is money down the drain. It'd be like cutting off electricity in 1950's industrial America.

ICANNot believe they'd put so much power into seven people's hands...
can we find these keys in fallout 3

This is the shittiest idea that can ever be possibly conceived in all of our history so far, I mean if they disconnect the fucking internet you are pretty much CAUSING a fucking stock market crash.

Those rumors turned out to be largely overblown, but it turns out there are now seven individuals out there holding keys to the Internet. In the aftermath of a cataclysmic cyber attack, these members of a “chain of trust” will be responsible for rebooting the Web.[/QUOTE] They're not disconnecting the internet, dumbass, it's to reboot the main DNS routing (or something like that) in the case of a cyber-attack. Why the fuck would ICANN want to take down the internet? It's ICANN!

It's inevitable, jessi slaughter will return from a cyber sleep and hold the hatahz hostage...
It's not like you could just, you know, set it up yourself. Hell, by running a few machines on a LAN you can have a mini-internet - a couple of webservers, and a routing table to provide the DNS names. The TCP/IP protocol isn't likely to just disappear. Besides, they act like the internet is this one big server somewhere. It isn't. It's all the computers that are connected together. Also, if you're a government and worried about attacks from the internet... ISOLATE YOUR NETWORK. HERR DERR I'LL JUST CONNECT MY GOVERNMENT NETWORK TO THE FUCKING INTERNET

These are just DNS servers though. You could still do things through IP adresses.
I think it would be cool to see what would happen if the internet went down for a month.
But deep in the bowels of the internet, one person secretly forged his own internet key, made from the hottest viral videos known to man, and some undiscovered. Using this key, he planned to reverse any attempts to shut down the internet, funneling all viewers to his own work, thus turning all eyes onto himself: [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fm7QOvUrVSk/Sg-aITUw3JI/AAAAAAAAACw/t8Q0_pBytwI/s400/3792842.jpg[/img] "HEY INTERNET, IT'S FRED!"

I think ICANN trust these guys. :smug: Fuck, I was late. Also what if the Illuminati start killing off these members and steal their cards and reboot the internet and make us their slaves?
Why would they give one to Trinidad and Tobago? Give them to the cool countries... Like the country of my house. As in give me one.
[QUOTE=Nilrus;23673511]Someone needs to make a game about that. In the aftermath of some giant war, the internet was shut down. You play as a basement dweller using your internet and gaming knowledge to navigate your way through the [B]post apocalyptic real world and find the key to restart the internet[/B]. I would so pay for that.[/QUOTE] Oh god that was amazing Produced by Bethesda

I hope the handing out of the keys was awesome. "Gentlemen, the fate of the internet... lies in your hands."
What a supid idea. What if they loose their key? Then were fucked.
This is the worst idea i've seen in a very long time. They should've atleast hidden them in chocolate bars.
Great movie plot
