No, my car didn't catch fire.

Those of you who have seen "Live Free or Die Hard" (I just saw it today) know what a fire sale is, but I'm not going into major detail as to not spoil the movie.

The main thing is..that really creeps me out, knowing that I work with technology on a daily basis. America would crumble without technology, what if something like that actually happened? No power..no internet, no cell phones...NO EXD??!! :eek:

For those of you who haven't seen it, see it. It's well worth the time, great movie. Even that douchebag Justin Long did a good job in it...hard to believe, I know.

On a side note...the chick who plays McLane's daughter (http://cdn.maximonline.com/uploadedCmsFiles/Slides/92_mary_elizabeth_winstead_3035.jpg) is a FOX.

Check out the book (fiction) Breakpoint by Richard A. Clarke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_A._Clarke), it describes similar type events, all based on his inside knowledge of the intelligence agencies.

People freak out about a bridge falling down. 1 out of 595,625 or so bridges and people get all antsy. Having an entire infrastructure collapse would after a few days into a panic. Would be interesting to see it happen.
