I, for one, welcome our new Internet overlord.

What say you, Pennies-Arcade, about ridiculous legislation or crack pot conspiracies coming true?

    This whole "cyberterrorism" thing seems like something that a few people get scared about but that I feel there's very little evidence our enemies are actually trying. But what do I know!

    I cross checked with CNN, but then again I've been known to be gullible.

    here's the cnn article, it seems a lot less sensationalist and much more reasonable:
