I would hope that MIT-ians would be smart enough not to set off homeland security with a prank, but it almost sounds like something they might be pulling.

Wasn't Nora just talking today about the kids walking around in flip-flops and shorts. In Boston. In the winter? Maybe one of them froze their Common Sense right off.

re: bank accounts

The head of my department came around and said "Have you checked your bank balance today?" and I thought, "Oh, crap, what have they done?" Then he handed me an envelope containing the amount of bonus that the company had decided to hand out as an apology for taking so long to get the bonus program into place. Let's just say that it amounts to a second paycheck.

Hacks have always been very, very benign.

Weeeeeell, I'm not sure lighting magnesium strips under the wheels of a Green Line car so it's welded to that tracks is all THAT benign, but for the most part, I agree.

Tom theorized it could be low budget terrorism- a way to disrupt without actual explosives and, um, death.

I forgot about that hack, Frank. But by and large, I don't think they'd be on this level.

Come on, people, more talking. I'm waiting on a training course that's loading about one percent every five seconds.

I do have questions about socks, if someone wants to talk clothes.

No alerts on the MBTA site for the North Station commuter trains, so x-fingers.

I can possibly answer any sock related questions you may have.

Dana, you need two.

Unless you are a) a guy and 2) play for the RHCP. Then you need 3 sometimes. And sometimes just the one.

Wool ones are itchy.

Come on, people, more talking.

That Mohinder sure is smoking hot. Oh, and insent.
