DNS Root Servers Attacked 311
liquidat and others wrote in with the news that the DNS Root Servers were attacked overnight. It looks like the F, I, and M servers felt the attack and recovered, whereas G (US Department of Defense) and L (ICANN) did less well. Some new botnet flexing its muscle perhaps? AP coverage is here.

Actually, backing up the internet is a very good idea, and it isn't hard to do at all:
If you're using Windows, just drag and drop the internet (the blue "e" symbol) from your desktop onto your USB stick. Wait for the copying process to finish (with current Windows installations this will only take a few minutes). Next, confirm that you have successfully stored the internet: double-click the internet on your USB stick, and enter any address. Did it work all right? Congratulations! Now you can carry the whole web in your pocket, or give it to your friends as a gift.
