New York Stock Exchange Says “No Time Table For Resuming Trade” - The Last Time This Happened Was 911

Right as the Chinese Market went into a dive, then we had a NYSE computer glitch.

Be careful that anything you are seeing is actually from AVG. There are a lot of sophisticated scams out there.

[backwoods-engineer]

They told the truth. I mean, China hammering the NYSE servers until they no longer can run trades is not a "cyber breach".

Truth is, NYSE can't know at this point what the problem is. They are just saying that it ISN'T so people don't freak out and crash the economy.

Interesting that I noticed that my Satellite radio service had cut out several times with an automated audio notification that they are working to restore service as soon as possible.

". . . All Your base belongs to us . . . "

The quote is supposed to be, "All your base are belong to us."

Probably just hacking by ISIS.

Obama the great needs to find jobs for these idle hands.

what quote?

[Yaelle]

Why is China always attacking St. Louis? Is there some central hub of Gore’s Internet machine there?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I think Norse has a major hub there as well as (what seems) Seattle. Looks like they absorb most of the attacks, IMO.

google it

Google what?

“All Your Base Are Belong to Us” is a popular catchphrase that swept across the internet at the dawn of 21st century as early as in 1998. An awkward Engrish translation of “all of your bases are under our control,” the quote originally appeared in the opening dialogue of Zero Wing, a nostalgic 16-bit shoot’em up game released in 1989. Marked by abundance of poor grammar, “All Your Base” phrase and the dialogue scene went viral on popular discussion forums in 2000, spawning thousands of image macros and flash animations featuring the slogan both on the web and in real life.

The phrase and game footage used in the meme come from the 1989 side-scrolling arcade shooter Zero Wing. The quote is from the introduction sequence of the game in which the player’s enemy, the leader of CATS, appears. The following conversation happens:

Captain: What happen ? 
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb. 
Operator: We get signal. 
Captain: What !
Operator: Main screen turn on. 
Captain: It’s you !! 
CATS: How are you gentlemen !!
CATS: All your base are belong to us. 
CATS: You are on the way to destruction. 
Captain: What you say !!
CATS: You have no chance to survive make your time.
CATS: Ha ha ha ha … 
Operator: Captain !!
Captain: Take off every ‘ZIG’!! 
Captain: You know what you doing.
Captain: Move ‘ZIG’.
Captain: For great justice.

Thanks for the ping. I was wondering if the Internet was really down; this confirms it.

Actually when I went to AVG to fix my stuff it was like the 5th most asked question and they had a remedy ... I will know tomorrow when I turn the pute on if it worked or if as Laz would say “I’m so Screwed”

[GOPJ]

China’s having stock market problems - and like all liberal commie types they’re searching around for someone to blame... my guess is they’ll settle on us... Rater than the more obvious - that they were playing with capitalism without a clue how it works....

So, if it was intentional, I’m betting it was the Chinese.

[Ingtar]

I’ve seen wonderfully realistic AVG look alike popups on a computer without AVG installed. :)

[TexasTransplant]

I am so screwed

"Ok put me on the Internet isn’t working ping list And provide directions to nearest known emergency shelter ... Lol!"

"So let it be written. So let it be done."

You are in!

(However, you should know the "The INTERNET Isn't Working Ping List" is akin to the Hotel California. "You can check out, but you can never leave"...!)
