Obama threatens Russia

[Mugwump]

Yay, World War the Third!

[DeathMaster]

Obama and Clinton are all salty that Assange got a hold of their stuff, and now that information is public. So, what now? ATTACK RUSSIA AND PUSH THE NARRATIVE!

You're right. The very first version of my engine (the shittiest one ever) is on GitHub. Do you think I care if I can't get it ever again? Actually the fact that you mentioned GitHub and I still didn't consider it says it all. To be honest, I hate GitHub. It's a pain in the ass for how I do things.

I mean if we want to get technical I have thousands of posts on Actionscript.org and a couple of other forums but, all that stuff is dead to me. I'm not trying to claim I've never used the internet. I'm just saying I don't have an online presence that I would miss (except here) if it died for good. I mean, OneMadGypsy.com exists and I don't give a shit about that either.

I don't use any of that stuff.

I mentioned GitHub.
You've put stuff on GitHub with your Flash/Haxe projects.
You said you don't use any of that stuff.

Who am I believe, haha?

/But yeah, I wouldn't call much of the known stuff that is down "essential", but there is no doubt stuff that is important that is down when that much of the internet is affected.

Why the hell would anyone give a warning about something like that? "Hey pal, just to give you a heads-up we're gonna fuck with you..." I mean, seriously?!? Just do it bro!

Because it's a Obama who does stuff like "draws a line in the sand in Syria" and no one listens to him and they do it anyway and nothing happens. Or that joke called the "Iran Deal".

You don't tell people you are going to hack Russia. Especially when Russia can do 100x to us what we can do to them.

It's just dumb.

I didn't miss that. I totally get that. I don't use any of that stuff. I probably don't even need the internet beyond research. If I left quakeone I would have no identity connected internet presence what-so-ever.

edit: I do have email, but I wouldn't give a shit if I didn't.

You missed the point.

The USA threatens cyber attack on Russia. Next day, half of USA internet is down.

Github is down too. PayPal down. Many other things are down like Amazon AWS servers (powers a large part of "the cloud" that countless companies and internet caching companies use).

[MadGypsy]

That's some messed up stuff. Sorry you guys have to deal with that. I don't use any of that stuff so, I can't really identify but, I empathize.

I'm so mad I couldn't tweet about Twitter being down because it was down when I wanted to tweet about it being down

[Baker]

Obama threatened Russia with cyber attacks in retaliation for Wikileaks a couple of days ago. And if you expose widespread government corruption --- well, the US government just won't tolerate that. Ask Snowden or Assange.

Now half our internet is down today.

Netflix doesn't work, I've heard Twitter and Facebook don't work. Maybe Amazon.

Great job, Obama! That'll teach Russia quite a lesson.
