RE: Trouble accessing www.nanog.org

There is video hosting web sites on the intertubes?

Now where would those be found, I wonder.  All I have ever seen is macro-streaming that is fraudulently labeled and 
advertised as video -- the worst being something called FlashVirus, which was written by a company called MacroVirus 
Media or something like that, and currently owned and flogged by Adobe along with their "Proprietary Document Format" 
(the latest versions of which boast UVTD technology -- Unstoppable Virus Transport and Distribution).

If the so-called video contains arbitrary executable code (or can run arbitrary executable code), or requires the use 
of a specific application to "play" (or infect the target), then it should not be described as "video".  It is a 
streaming-macro.

Microsoft was the first OS vendor to add the "Execute Payload" header to IP which saved much time and effort in the 
distribution of malicious code via the internet.  Unfortunatly, Adobe and several other vendors have patents on what is 
called the method of "Executable Data" and made Microsoft remove their wonderous invention under pain of patent 
lawsuits.

Of course, maybe whats meant is File hosting, where the File being hosted just happens to contain video data in 
standard data format (preferably a pure-data format that does not embed execution macros of any type).
