Title: The Ruskies try to kill Twitter.
Post by: B E C K on Aug 06, 2009, 07:47:35 PM

Okay, it was just one Russian.  And it was a short outage.  But doesn't that bring back images of the Cold War and remind you of the eighties?  And we love the fucking 80's here.  Also, the thought of a dead Twitter makes me gleeful.

Twitter, Facebook attack targeted one user (http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-10305200-245.html)

In Russia..Twitter kills you.

"I'm no commie" That sounds like something a Commie would say.

Hmm, almost thought this was a 4chan attack on twitter, but if it was against one random Georgian on a bunch of social sites..

Mmmm.

I liked the 'express' PFChangs thing, but I don't see the need to pay that much for decent Chinese, when I live near a place that serves amazing Chinese food. Massachusetts is plagued with PF Changs, though. Thankfully, RI has been spared from their disease, though IDE's enslavers are popping up everywhere.

I hate chain restaurants.

Oh, thanks.  I don't get my lunch at RA Sushi until tomorrow, and I'm drooling now
