    On another note...

    I just read a fascinating article in Scientific American. Seems you don't even have to be hooked to the internet to have your computer hacked by malware. How long before they can hack our brainwaves? I'll bet they are researching this now.

    If we hacked your brain waves Mo, would we be able to recover from it:)

    @Accipiter You'll find the secrets of the universe that I have unearthed. The wisdom of Solomon. The creativity of Newton. And the contempt of Ted.

    lol, I think all of us have figured out at least 1 of those secrets.

    I just found this site. It shows live cyber attacks. Very interesting. Looks like Chicago is being targeted.

    What I don't get is why authorities haven't shut it down, assuming it is credible.

    Is this someone's opinion on what is happening? I mean it could just be that some websites hosted in Chicago and/or some server farms in that area happen to be serving up pages right?
  • @John Chisum: I think you will be happy to know the Linkster repelled the cyber-attack on his great city of Chicago ! Believe me it wasn't easy, but someone had save the Windy City !
  • I was wondering what was in Chicago attracting all the attention. CBOT? It's interesting that every so often an attack will emirate from Chicago going to Atlanta I believe. Seattle gets their fair share of attacks also. China is the big culprit.

    Holy smoke! Thanks, @JohnChisum. It's all Greek to me, but it certainly looks scary. All kinds of evil, scum-slimeballs in the world. Such a display shows where some of them actually are, at least in general terms. Such cyber-attackers should be expunged, killed, eliminated and erased. Permanently.
