Got Something You Want To Say?

Have you inquired with Megaupload?

Maybe it's just temporary... A system upgrade?

If anyone wants to increase their paranoia about the "Swine flu"... Killingray's history of "The Spanish Flu Pandemic" is available for Kindle.

1918 - 1919, The "Spanish Flu" killed between 30 and 50 Million people from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Pacific, and North America.

Made World War I look like a piker.

Isn't MU based in Hong Kong. :headscratch:

Don't know what gives you that idea. MU is based in the US, I think.

Maybe because you're situated in Hong Kong and all the downloads are coming from you. :beaten:

The thing is the whole site is blocked except for that one message. I can't even get to the "Contact Us" page. MU has shut down temporarily for system maintenance before but never with such a sparse message, and never for so long (it's been going on for at least 5 days now).

You are making me sound like a water-downed version of Pirate Bay, and look what happened to them... :sweat:

Notorious Sweden-based BT tracker site that practically declared war on the RIAA, MPAA etc. They p*ssed off so many parties that the owner was finally sentenced to a year (I think) in the slammer. Apparently the site's assets have been auctioned off and its server was bought by a Stockholm museum.

Yeag, I don't get why everyone's all flustered about this particular strain, other than all the media hype... My senile, paranoid boss is walking around with a bottle of hand sanitizer all day. :shakehead:

If she's that worried about it, do us all a (big) favor and stay home, nitwit. :victory:

Because it is new and there is no definite cure at the moment? I don't think it's the simple matter of a few tablets and rest to recover...

I think like any other flu, you stay home, get rest, drink plenty of liquids... This new strain isn't any deadlier than previous strains, just hyped more.

As usual it is the poor who cant afford any treatment that are taking the beating. The media loves this kind of thing... :shakehead:

Which is why I think Mexico is the hardest hit: their health care system is more messed up than ours, huh? :sweat:
