US getting DDos like crazy

[Galdorf]

Seems China is stepping up it's attacks on businesses and MMorpg's the online games i play are getting hit by ddos attacks i think the US need to update it's internet infrastructure to block all these attacks.
If your interested in watching DDos attacks NORSE has a nice setup :http://map.ipviking.com/

Missile Command!

//old timers that remember Atari will get it

A couple years ago I bought an original 2600 console with 33 cartridges, two joysticks, two paddles....off eBay. I'm planning on collecting the game cartridges as a hobby. You can get them for anywhere from .99 cents to 10 dollars used.

Missile Command I played a lot...was pretty good at it. Still play it. Raiders Of The Lost Ark and Return Of The Jedi "Death Star Battle" were my favs.

My kids love it of course, although they have pretty much wrecked the paddles, the joysticks are on their last legs now because of the kids. Should have known better then to let them use them. Some things just aren't meant for kids to play with...ie I think true toys are made to be broken

Don't want to side track, maybe we need another thread. I was a senior tech/manager for a company back around 1980(shows my age) and I used to be on all the games. In fact Missile Command was in a shop we had in Leicester Square and I used to have to call in to fix them. I was then a manager in Reading and we used to get the games and put them out on the best sites(pubs) for testing. Also manned the games stand at the Pink Floyd The Wallconcert, Earls Court I think about 80/81! Someone had to do it
