Members Anderton Posted August 26, 2008 Members Share Posted August 26, 2008 First HC, and now the airlines are having massive computer problems...if you're planning to travel anywhere by air right now, better call ahead. And not to be paranoid, but...these are the days leading up to the anniversary of 9/11, and Al Quaida is computer-savvy, and they may have watched the last Bruce Willis die hard movie where someone brings down the communications infrastructure before trying to take over the world... Or maybe it's just solar flares... Or maybe just Intel components... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the Atlanta outage at 1:30 was my fault... sorry for any inconvenience. Two compact florescent bulbs exploded in my kitchen at the same time. This stuff happens to me a lot.

Members Dylan Walters Posted August 27, 2008 Members Share Posted August 27, 2008 There must be something cosmic today.
