Cyberactivists brought down the the web site of the World Economic Forum in a "virtual sit-in." The attack was coordinated by the Electronic Disturbance Theater, Electronic Civil Disobedience and the Federation of Random Action.
The activists have been urging people to help with the attacks on www.weforum.org. At Indymedia.org. messages from those groups took credit for the crash.
Charles McLean, the forum's communications director said, "We regard it as a nuisance. We hope the site goes back up soon."
This was just one of many non-violent activities protesting the globalization summit in New York.

Living
on The Earth by Alicia Bay Laurel. The
early '70s was a time of great optimism (and despair in true Dickens fashion).
Everywhere people were experimenting with alternative lifestyles, leaving
the cities and heading back-to-nature. Communes were popping up all over
and those returning to the land had to learn fast the art of survival.
With impeccable timing and the feeling that a guide to this new/old way
of life was needed, Alicia Bay Laurel wrote "Living on The Earth", an invaluable
resource for those seeking to live in harmony with Mother Nature. Read Skip's Review!
