wow, very deep. thanks cherry. I'll have to write that down.

to answer your question: "like what?": like when a jet is occupying airspace in your high-rise building's proximity with a military fighter escort in a city that has seen some nasty shit go down.

how about I tell you that in my personal experiences I have had fear, but I simply managed it. And from there came the ability to think clearly and react effectively.

so pick that apart...

How many people here would stay somewhere if they thought they were reasonably likely to die there?

Yeah, seriously. Those people did not necessarily "over-react". They are using previous incidents as evidence and it is a reasonable assumption (considering the fighter escorts) that something "bad" may have been unfolding.

For the folks that scream that these people are weak-minded sheep, you're nothing more than the polarized opposite of those who spread the FUD. I don't argue that FUD is bullshit, but *sometimes* there is good reason to be afraid.

And lastly, the way you call "sheep" on these people makes me think you've never been in a potentially life-threatening situation. That, or your damned green vulcan blood hinders your instinct to preserve yourself.

Take note: There is no fucking respawn if you die.

Disgruntled Engineer Hijacks San Francisco's Computer System 1082

ceswiedler writes "A disgruntled software engineer has hijacked San Francisco's new multimillion-dollar municipal computer system. When the Department of Technology tried to fire him, he disabled all administrative passwords other than his own. He was taken into custody but has so far refused to provide the password, and the department has yet to regain admin access on their own. They're worried that he or an associate might be able to destroy hundreds of thousands of sensitive documents, including emails, payroll information, and law enforcement documents."
