ooooOOH,, tornado watch in flordia.
I should try to find someone to trade me their Bioshock 360 for my Bioshock PC.
Bioshock's amazing. I only played the demo and I could tell it was amazing.
Rich graphics and sound, fucked up story, and cool theme is an awesome game in my book.
I can't speak to you anymore sprung :ignore:
Speaking of which, when did you buy the full game? :P
The BioShock guy is that other guy.

Unfortunately, starting at 5 pm CET, one of our carriers experienced a severe technical problem with their hardware, causing a loss of 50 gigabit of bandwidth. Therefore RapidShare was unavailable for several hours. We already have taken steps to avoid this particular problem in the future.

"As of 19 January 2008 16:00 GMT, Rapidshare's servers appear to be offline. There are rumors that Rapidshare has been shut down by the authorities after a court order, however, court records do not reveal any issued Rapidshare court order as of yet. Rapidshare technician Steven Gircham has commented on this issue - "There are rumors concerning attacks made on the Rapidshare.com servers. There are also rumors that Rapidshare has been shut down by a court order. These rumors are false. We would like to apologize to our users and inform them that no data has been lost. There have been some hardware issues as a result of high bandwidth and server overload. We are doing our very best to resolve the hardware issues, and users should expect uptime by midnight tonight (GMT)"
Furthermore, Rapidshare was forced to use a new anti-piracy tool which detects filenames, also within archives, and compares them to warez release announcement sites, torrent listings and eDonkey links. If the filenames match, the tool will automatically delete them. This tool will run for the next five hours to delete everything possible. Premium and Collector's accounts will not be lost, but no one will use them after nearly everything will be deleted (there are only less than 2% legal files hosted on the RapidShare servers). "
Downloaded a set of guitar hero songs for stepmania, yep, I'm cheap.

It's not like I give the ending away where when you save all the kids then go to the surface and act all like a family then you die and they're all there or like the other ending where you go to the surface and all the splicers go with you and kill humans.

Criminals have been able to hack into computer systems via the Internet and cut power to several cities, a U.S. Central Intelligence Agency analyst said this week.
Speaking at a conference of security professionals on Wednesday, CIA analyst Tom Donahue disclosed the recently declassified attacks while offering few specifics on what actually went wrong.
Criminals have launched online attacks that disrupted power equipment in several regions outside of the U.S., he said, without identifying the countries affected. The goal of the attacks was extortion, he said.
"We have information, from multiple regions outside the United States, of cyber intrusions into utilities, followed by extortion demands," he said in a statement posted to the Web on Friday by the conference's organizers, the SANS Institute. "In at least one case, the disruption caused a power outage affecting multiple cities. We do not know who executed these attacks or why, but all involved intrusions through the Internet."
"According to Mr. Donahue, the CIA actively and thoroughly considered the benefits and risks of making this information public, and came down on the side of disclosure," SANS said in the statement.
One conference attendee said the disclosure came as news to many of the government and industry security professionals in attendance. "It appeared that there were a lot of people who didn't know this already," said the attendee, who asked not to be identified because he is not authorized to speak with the press.
He confirmed SANS' report of the talk. "There were apparently a couple of incidents where extortionists cut off power to several cities using some sort of attack on the power grid, and it does not appear to be a physical attack," he said.
Hacking the power grid made front-page headlines in September when CNN aired a video showing an Idaho National Laboratory demonstration of a software attack on the computer system used to control a power generator. In the demonstration, the smoking generator was rendered inoperable.
The U.S. is taking steps to lock down the computers that manage its power systems, however.
On Thursday, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved new mandatory standards designed to improve cybersecurity.
CIA representatives could not be reached immediately for comment.
