Topic: Terrorist Threat in NYC (Read 8664 times)

Anyone not heard about the recent finding of a couple guys, NOT associated with Al Qaeda (That makes me feel SOOOO much better, ugh), were planning to bomb the subway in NYC, and another bunch were planning to use ambulences and fire trucks and such to bypass security to detonate some bombs stuffed inside. All I can say is, why wasn't this happening during the DNC, is this media hype to get people interested, or are the terrorists actually attempting to take out Bush, or something similar.

Fairly certain there would be terrorist threats no matter who was in office. The reason we're hearing about threats now is because the Republocrats want to play up how unsafe America is and how they've done a fine job of protecting us so far.

Yeah, Boston had the exact same threats, but they didn't get so played up because it wasn't NYC and it was the Democrats. Any minor threat with be played up to catastrophe level if you're in NYC.

So it IS media hype, god how I hate that.

Any minor threat? We all know there was only one Minor Threat!

Heh, I used to have the .wav where Ian yells "Did You Fucking Get It!" and used it as an alert sound on my Quadra 660 AV back in the day...

Oh man, those Quadras were sweet boxes. I was working at an Apple dealer when they came out. That DSP was so nifty.

Happens all the time. Used to rarely make the news, but terrorism is a buzz-word these days. I'm not sure if it's Republicans trying to demonstrate how unsafe the world is, or Democrats trying to demonstrate how unsafe the world still is... Either way, it's just something else being blown out of all proportion by a biased media. Doesn't really matter which way they're biased.

The US has been a target for terrorists for years. It just never really mattered to anyone, because it wasn't on TV. Besides alot of what they're calling terrorism on TV really isn't. It's just some idiot trying to get attention, recall the news stories for a couple years after the hype over Kevin Mitnick? Did I spell that right?

Anyway, sorry I've been gone for a while. I was busy.

Lower order brain functions are wonderful things aren't they?

Rico · « **Reply #16 on:** September 06, 2004, 11:09:25 PM »

Maybe it's one of those predictive things...

I have to wonder though, just why in the world do you think nothing will happen until the dates match up again? It's not like we're talking about some divine plan at work here. I'm not terrorists plan their actions around some mythical calander with hidden meanings and prophetic conciderations. Could be wrong, though.

why don't you just ban his e-mail address? If you don't want him back.

avalanche · « **Reply #20 on:** September 07, 2004, 11:28:03 AM »

Wow... that's a great idea! Detta, why didn't you think of that? Further proof that your average user is smarter than the mods.

Sheesh. Some people's kids!

hackess · « **Reply #21 on:** September 07, 2004, 11:30:33 AM »

Cute. The kid gets a forum up and running and thinks we're all new to this like he is.

The_FOO · « **Reply #22 on:** September 07, 2004, 12:37:45 PM »

Banning by email address is such an effective means of blocking access too.

Much easier to open a command pronpt and do:

route add 0.0.0.0 mask 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 metric 1

Crystalmonkey · « **Reply #23 on:** September 07, 2004, 02:24:29 PM »

And ban myself? I think not.

And just wondering why you don't do it that way is all I am saying.

The_FOO · « **Reply #24 on:** September 07, 2004, 02:33:36 PM »

How would that ban anyone? Prevent them from getting anywhere on the net, but not ban them.

And if you understand IP addressing, you have the answer to your own question.
