Hurricane Irene has some Economic Benefit

I find this quite interesting. It really does show that every crisis comes with opportunities.

EDIT:

I've been getting phone calls from this "technical company" called "Windows Service Provider". If you get a phone call from this company that's been telling you that you've been downloading a lot of "junk files" or "viruses", immediately recognize it as a scam (Indian accents as well) - just some news to alert others.

There is scam going around over here too - people claim to provide free 'steam account' keys, not the game keys - account keys.
Some people might hate me for saying this. Natural selection, if someone is stupid enough to fall for 'windows service provider' or 'steam key', then they deserve it. Same thing applies to people doing really retarded shit.

While that is true, I still pity the old people who barely learned to read their emails, use their online bank, access some government site, and check the pics of their grandchildren from the web - and then get scammed by some tech savvy sounding scumbag. They don't deserve it in my opinion, as long as we aren't talking about Nigerian emails.
