Has Google died in the UK?

I don't seem to be able to access any Google sites as of 00:00 BST, 8th May
2005.

I am in the UK and my ISP is One.Tel. I haven't updated any of my
Firewall/Anti-Virus software since I last had access to them.

Any Clues?

It is not working in Poland too... And McDar PR checker times out
so it probably can't connect to Google also. Try to use not a google.com
but IP - like http://64.233.161.104/, or 216.239.37.104, or 66.102.7.104
this way you should be able to overcome DNS malfunctioning.

Best,
Borek

It's because Google had to correct the "problem" they had
after sabotaging the *public* newsgroup "Groups" archives
in the wake of their bitter defeat on November 2nd, 2004;
after which their so-called "beta" kicked in and ruined
the Groups archives for everyone accessing them through
their local domain servers circa December 1, 2004. Ever
since then, all local domain Groups have been obfuscated.

Subsequently, us savvy google Groups users found that we
could still access the pre-election uncensored archives
through google's foreign-domain servers, e.g.:

http://www.google.co.in/groups?selm=<message_id>
http://www.google.co.uk/groups?selm=<message_id>
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=<message_id>

http://www.google.co.in/advanced_group_search
http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_group_search
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search

Thus, google recently "corrected" their little oversight
and disabled all foreign-domain access to the uncensored
version of the archives just yesterday or the day before,
i.e. on or about May 5th, 2005, to wit. That must've been
what temporarily shut down the foreign dns's. But now it's
"back up", as you say. Now, *all* google Groups are ruined.

And now that google has completed their draconian liberal
censorship of the public newsgroup archives, the archives
are now effectively useless to anyone searching the Groups
for actual, original, uncensored and untruncated messages.

Google "Groups" is now effectively dead and buried, R.I.P.
But because U.S. federal government maintains the complete
archives, which are most likely subject to the Freedom of
Information Act, it is then likely that some conservative
freespeech-advocates out there across America and the free
world will step forward and republish the archives on-line,
leaving the poor-defeatist google liberals out in the cold.

And the feds have all the "x-no-archived" messages, which
could make searching messages that much more "interesting".

Well since others have had the same problems it seems not but I was
thinking maybe you couldn't reach certain sites because a virus had
hijacked your browser and was stopping it from going to sites from
which it might aceess downloads that could remove the hijacking virus.
