Need satellite links to get anything out of Egypt now. Al Jazeera has already sussed that out a long time ago after getting stiffed by autocratic Arabic regimes. Hope they can keep the information flowing tomorrow (Week anniversary of the protests.)Greg Bernhardt said:Slashdot.org reporting egypt pulled it's last ISP. No Internet for Egypt.

Not long, but they were getting clean feeds out of Iraq when it was not the US military's best interests. Remember?WhoWee said:my bold
Turbo, how many hours have you been watching Al Jazeera?(sorry)

Look, there's worry and caution, and then there's giving yourself agita for no reason.

Google and Twitter launch service enabling Egyptians to tweet by phone
Google and Twitter have launched a service to allow people in Egypt to send Twitter messages by leaving a voicemail on a specific number after the last internet service provider in the country saw its access cut off late on Monday.
The new service, which has been created by co-ordination between the two internet companies, uses Google's speech-to-text recognition service to automatically translate provides an online voicemail service and tweets a link to each message, which is sent out on Twitter with the "#egypt" hashtag.
Google listed three phone numbers for people to call to use the service. They are: +16504194196; +390662207294; and +97316199855.

May you know much better times in the future, much happiness and good communications.
Go in Strength and go and do good.
WhoWee said:"Israel can take the Suez"? How would that ease tensions?
WhoWee said:BTW - What is your plan - do you have one yet?
Lacy33 said:We let the peoples work things out. I am happy the President did not just walk away and really let things run a muck. He is going to be hearing from everyone and more things will be happening in the region as well so all that will be considered.
This is not my field, but I, being an older person am thankful the young got him to move...out and he was wise not to just take off and go on vacation.
Why are you asking me?
Is this thread the center of world government and all leaders are watching us here taking our advice on how to run the world?
I just congratulated the people for successfully taking hold of their future as it should be.
The people want him to step down NOW!
If he steps down NOW! What is YOUR plan? :shy:
WhoWee said:I too think this might be the best solution. If he were to walk away it would create a vacuum of power - most likely filled by all the wrong people - just waiting for such an opportunity.
No, my question was an add-on to your post - not a challenge. I hope the people of Egypt can now find a voice and a plan (I don't believe they have either at this point) - Mubarak's job description might become mediator?
nismaratwork said:They're too angry WhoWee, and they've realized that they have this power? I don't believe the Egyptians want anything, literally anything they can all agree on except that they want Mubarak gone.
Given how diverse Egyptian society is, it would be like Ivan, Russ, Myself, You, Al, Jared, DA... ALL saying that Obama was evil and had to be impeached... it might be the only thing we'd all agree on, but until that was done can you imagine how motivated that kind of coalition would be?
