No. Talk to you after the first worm. Hopefully we're not talking about blackworm. That's just about as good of a statement as a demand for a phallus size check. If you can't back up claims, it is FUD by definition. So, just like BB wrote above: > [...] stop spreading FUD. Gents, killfiles.

This is more common in some areas of the country than other areas. Shooters will take potshots at microwave towers, cables of all types on utility poles, and even the occasional electrical transformer. The shot itself may not cause an immediate outage, but the hole lets rain in causing an outage later. They also shoot stop signs, mailboxes and just about everything else.
my favorite DR story
http://www.flickr.com/photos/avyakata/67337020/ This is Manion's Auction House in Kansas City, Kansas. The photo was taken the day after an F3 tornado went over the top of the site. The smooth, gray rectangle just below the trailer is not parking ... that is the floor of what used to be a ranch home on property which had been hastily tarpapered to protect the basement. The tornado took the top floor of the house, which contained about twenty PCs, four servers, all of their comm gear, and spread it in a thousand yard long debris field. Employees turned out and walked the debris field finger tip to finger tip, looking for customer consigned property and the contents of their office. They found every PC, every server, and every bit of communcations equipment. No one thought to take a picture of their Cisco 3640, which was found under a Catepillar D-7 bulldozer which had been rolled two hundred yards by the storm. The business owner's house is just to the left of the area covered by the photo and it suffered minor damage. Their systems were brought there to a room in the basement and the IT guys set to work. Monitors were destroyed but every single PC was located and found to be operational. They lost one drive in one raid array on their servers but everything else was functional. We plugged their 3640, Local Director, and firewall back in and had them running again five hours after the storm, and that included my three hour drive time from Omaha. They had no off site backup of any of their data and there was no configuration information on their network beyond my recall of what I'd help install two years before the tornado. This is certainly a testament to the value of clean livin', but I sure wouldn't recommend that as a DR strategy. -- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] // IM:layer3arts voice: 402 408 5951 cell : 402 301 9555 fax : 402 408 6902

Re: Fire in bakery fries fiber optic cable
The fiber cable hit by bullet was in New Jersey if I'm recalling correctly ... this was maybe four or five years ago. If memory serves (and forty *is* uncomfortably close) this was part of a cable modem plant.
