the WiFi tower went down today, and i only have a wired connection directly to the router... i had to reposition laptops, switches, and wires, while attempting to make the emergency setup baby-proof; it felt like a drill for the zombie apocalypse; i expect the outages to get worse than that, of course!

It's a good question what causes us bitcoiners such a big headache, but I know that Bitcoin will overcome all zombie attacks and the world's attack; Bitcoin will overcome all of that.
