Having recently gone through similar troubles (both at home and at work), I can
say that completely explains it for me.

Its a damn shame it had to happen in a week where several references to software
hosted there came up. Hmmm...Perhaps I should move on to a new conspiracy
theory? ;-)

Yes...I can see it now. Stroustrup in a black catsuit, wielding a large pair of
bolt-cutters, sneaking into ACT Europe's ISP in the dead of night. 

Then again, perhaps he did all the sabotage to them he needed to do, just by
developing C++ in the first place. :-)
