The day the routers died
What do a bunch of networking geeks do when they gather for a five-day conference in Amsterdam? Nothing like the debauched dealmaking drinkfest wrapping up in Hawaii. But attendees at the Ripe 55 meeting, covering a very different kind of networking, will probably do much more to improve the world's Internet connections. And they enjoyed a much more memorable sendoff, with this "American Pie" parody, "The Day the Routers Died." I don't understand half of it, but it's still hilarious.
