Oh yeah, I get that, but something about all of this is starting to feel kind of....odd

I personally would have scripted the destruction. 30 days, is more than enough time to setup a script to kill the servers, and clear S3. So yeah it's a little weird.

I really doubt they would have direct access to the hardware, considering FB's size.

That is what I was thinking. All of this was signalled ahead of time, so there was obviously preparation. So, that begs the question- has it failed?
- Iain Baker
It's more likely that something else has simply taken priority; the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead.

But again, they updated the blog, to say it HAD been shut down, so they were obviously still aware of the demise.... And yet we're still here. It just feels funky
- Iain Baker
Or the blog post was scheduled and in the meantime the remote destruct command is still #7 in some guy's task list.
- Mark H
Yeah, could be. Now, we just have to find that guy, and KILL HIM

or pay him off with ice cream. I haven't decided.
- Iain Baker
Ben's a nice guy. Go with icecream
- OCoG of FF, Jimminy
Ice cream it is!
- Iain Baker
I offer my Ben and Jerry's Peanut Butter Cup... and I don't do it lightly. Ice-cream is meant for eating not sharing! ;-)
