Strange.. all back now.. a majority of the sites I tried weren't loading.. I thought it was just u-he then I tried a few others.. all down.. yet kvr still loaded. hehe

Sorry for the false alarm..

One of the myths of the internet is it's distributed and if one important server goes down then others will pick up the load.

In reality we have a few critical servers, especially ones maintaining links with undersea cables. When those go down large sections of the web go dark.

One of those things the NSA just loves: large data choke points.
