Attack on Playstation Network

Ok, this is just disgusting and everyone knows it.  Why?  Because it's cliché and it's been taught to us over and over again.  Teachers have taught us not to do it.  Officers say not to take the law into your own hands.  Billions upon billions of TV shows, anime, movies, comics, the list goes on, teach us not to do this!

Here's the scenario.  Anonymous, angry with the way Sony has sued "Geohotz" because of the release of his playstation hack.  In response to this a hacker group has taken it upon themselves to hack the playstation network, causing millions of playstation fans in a fury or frustration.  It has been down since Wednesday pending investigation into the cause and what all damage has been done.  Unknown destruction of the network's state could range from lost information on what they purchased from the PSN, which could probably not allow them to play those games again or not be able to re-download them if the need ever arose all the way to the worry of credit card and other security risks.

This leads me to my first point.  Do not take the law into your own hands, "hackers!"  Let the law deal with it or make it a point to take something to a courtroom.  With this said I will further illustrate my point with a clichéd and tired a** story that has been told in many forms of media.

Man decides world is corrupt due to crime present in the streets, wars, violence, and hatred(hacker sees Sony as corrupt).

Man decides to accumulate super powers in hopes of creating a new world by using an attack that hurts everyone, including the innocent (hackers take their skills and attack psn, leaving innocent sony players, including themselves, without the ability to use the playstation network.)

Man is taken down by super heros and plunged into the darkness (hackers are found and put in jail, as in real life).

Our art reflects reality at this point.  And the point never seems to get across to any one!  How many clichéd plots do we need to make in order to get this point across?  Millions more?  Sorry Anonymous!  You lose!  Let the law handle it.  Enough said.  Peace!!!!

Aspergers/Anxiety and Moving

Ok, so I've lived in one house my whole life and last Thursday was my first day living alone in the house where my parents will be moving all of us into, so I've had to spend the night since then and take care of some of my things. I've had some anxiety only I didn't realize it was anxiety. I took my problems to a doctor a few weeks ago and we've finally figure out that consciously I'm ok, but subconsciously I was having a lot of anxiety over it. My chest hurts from time to time, my breathing is shallow at times and I did have a few dizzy spells. Again, though, I wasn't having any problems that I was currently dwelling on in the front of my mind. This makes me think that I can move on my own someday without trouble.

Aspergers and Computer Paranoia

As a person with aspergers, I know some of us experience anxiety or depression along side out aspergers diagnosis.  Many of us are even the geeky type that are into electronics and such.  I'm no exception.  Meltdowns, also a part of aspergers, occur when things go wrong with them.

Just yesterday I wanted to throw my laptop down the stairs, because it was freezing everything up and for some reason it had to do with either or both AOL instant Messenger or Windows Live Messenger.  Anyways, instead of trying to figure out the problem, I immediately exited out of them when they loaded up during startup of the computer and then uninstalled them altogether.  Now I'm using Meebo.com for all my instant messages.  It seems to work better for me.  Anyways, that's just one occurrence.

My first computer, I'd band on the side of the machine with my first and the thing was as solid as, well... metal.  I bent the side of it all out of shape to the point that after I was done fixing problems inside I couldn't get it back on right, not that it was that easy to put back on to begin with.

I swear at electronics.  I cursed them out loud to let them know that I was their lord and master and they do what I say, because I paid for them and that I see them as my slave.  Little do I know they are making me their slave.

Paranoia enters our minds, those that have anxiety issues, and we think that if we have a problem with the computer, "there goes more money" or "there goes all my saved data" (make sure you back up, btw).  But this is really catastrophic thinking.  It comes down like a landslide.  "What if this continues to happen every time I own a computer?"  Just learn and accept that it can and it will.  And by the way, learn what brands are the best.  (I found Gateway to be to my liking.)  I am currently doing better with a big name brand right now and even with the troubles I've had I'm doing much better.  There's no such thing as a perfect piece or technology.  If we can accept this, then we can reduce our meltdowns.

What we all need to learn is that meltdowns are no good, leave it alone for a little while, come back and fix it.  You'll feel much better if you don't react to them like that.  It's not the end of the world, if it quits working.  They are fixable.  You can put away money to fix or replace them or you can learn to fix them on your own like I usually try to do and it works for me.

Many NTs and, I guess, even some Aspies, don't even like computers and gadgets.  It's the day and age, I guess.  I usually presume that aspies are computer people, but really we are all diverse, NT or not.

According to this article bullying could be against the law in PA if this bill goes through. It will give bullies an unwanted criminal record and could lower bullying in schools.

Aspergers poem (1)

Lost and confused in the land that is aspergers.
Hard to connect like me and some others in the social sea are ametuers.

Cannot connect
cannot correct
the things about me that make me so isolated
So onto other things I must inspect

Isolation, good at times.
Isolation.  For fun with someone I pine.

Then there's love
Oh sweet love
I shall never see
or have a destiny
to be with someone who
love is true.

Aspergers, the syndrome I love and despise
Has a way of isolating me
I am not alone to be
This I must realize.
