Hackers have attacked the company CCP (creators of Eve online) and seem to be doing the same thing they did to Sony.

That's to say, trying to disrupt the service.

As you know, after the Hindenburg disaster blimps weren't used anymore and only in recent years they started to get higher interest again. There was an accident recently. Not nearly as big as Hindenburg luckily. It was still close to the ground as it suddenly caught fire so the passengers could just jump out. But apparently the pilot stayed inside to make sure it wouldn't crash into the close village. He burned alive.

They're not doing it because they're frustrated at anybody. They're doing it to show the people who entrust their personal information to these companies that their info is about as secure as putting it next to the front door.

Still illegal though and they will be caught eventually.

US Army is dropping Berets from their uniform and bringing back the caps.
an officer was quoted stating how he didn't want to wear a sock on his head and was glad for the change.

special forces still use them.
The Army Rangers hated when they introduced the beret to the general army, because they no longer had their cool guy beret club.

Also, the regular army members couldn't seem to figure out how to wear a beret. This led to many retarted photos.

Good. Berets should be for special forces anyway.

Wow, I don't sound elitist at all, do I?
