this is interesting, DIC is the only webpage that will load for me right now. I've tried going to MSDN, Adobe, Reddit, Amazon, and Google. None of them will load. It's not just my machine, though mine is the worst of all the IT machines right now.

check your DNS? Could be one of your DNS servers is down so you're only getting domains saved on one server but not the other. DIC could be on A, Google could be on B, and if B's down A will still resolve.

Ran into this with my provider a few months ago, switched to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (God's Free DNS) and never looked back

That has to be a new slogan..

"DIC - giving it to you when no other page will."

No, you're good with people. You just don't like them, it's different.

Hm. That's probably true. I just hate being forced to be the one handling people.

FYI - folks east of the Mississip in the path of that storm - it was no joke so watch out. Flooded the piss out of the south west, damn near drowned the midwest with as it threw Jackalopeados at us, and is heading your way. Caulk those windows, and batten down the hatches.

Awesome. My street floods awesome. I remember when I lived at the house I'm in now (renting from a friend, lived there about 10 years ago too) before, it rained huge and hard and I was out playing in the street in nearly knee deep water. My basement is above ground level so no flooding, that was a bonus. But I watched a guy flood his new Camaro's engine trying to drive through a good 6 inch puddle. We pushed it out.

I love storms. I hope this one is violent, loud, and literally awesome.

Pretty sure pages are not loading due to the 'this is what happens if Comcast takes over' demonstration.

Let's hope this isn't the peak performance of today's creativity.

I forgot about the internet slow down, I unfortunately can't change DNS stuff, only the network admin can.
