something about world wide computer problems in july

I'm going to look into this. I hadn't heard about them shutting down the DNS for July. What I've read is that it seems specific to Australians and I'm not sure why the FBI, a US police force for internal US issues, would do that to Australia specifically. Granted that the DNS servers are world wide (the root or top-most level ones are), the news reports I found seemed to indicate it would be directed at Australia specifically.
