I've been waking up at 12:30pm for about a week now :S

Same with me in vacation. Oh no, actually, I wake up at 1 or 2 in vacations. XD

[kurandoinu]

I've never been able to wake up that later, even if I've been working till 3am. I still get up at about 10am.

If it wasn't for everyone making noise in the morning I would probably sleep in till around then. Latest I've ever slept in was 3:30pm I believe.

[JoonasTo]

I slept upto 11:30 today. When I was a teenager I used to sleep past 2pm regardless of the time I went to bed. Latest I've woken up is past 5pm. 

Nowadays I've been forced into ruthless routine so I never get to sleep past 12. 

[Muk666]

Makoto got nerfed but I still like her :3

[NaRu]

Just woke up...super tired this morning.

Philip Reitinger

SVP and Chief Information Security Officer, Sony Group

We want to let you know that we have detected attempts on Sony Entertainment Network, PlayStation Network and Sony Online Entertainment (“Networks”) services to test a massive set of sign-in IDs and passwords against our network database.   These attempts appear to include a large amount of data obtained from one or more compromised lists from other companies, sites or other sources.   In this case, given that the data tested against our network consisted of sign-in ID-password pairs, and that the overwhelming majority of the pairs resulted in failed matching attempts, it is likely the data came from another source and not from our Networks.  We have taken steps to mitigate the activity.

Less than one tenth of one percent (0.1%) of our PSN, SEN and SOE audience may have been affected.  There were approximately 93,000 accounts globally (PSN/SEN: approximately 60,000 accounts; SOE: approximately 33,000) where the attempts succeeded in verifying those accounts’ valid sign-in IDs and passwords, and we have temporarily locked these accounts.  Only a small fraction of these 93,000 accounts showed additional activity prior to being locked.  We are currently reviewing those accounts for unauthorized access, and will provide more updates as we have them.  Please note, if you have a credit card associated with your account, your credit card number is not at risk.  We will work with any users whom we confirm have had unauthorized purchases made to restore amounts in the PSN/SEN or SOE wallet.

As a preventative measure, we are requiring secure password resets for those PSN/SEN accounts that had both a sign-in ID and password match through this attempt.   If you are in the small group of PSN/SEN users who may have been affected, you will receive an email from us at the address associated with your account that will prompt you to reset your password.

Similarly, the SOE accounts that were matched have been temporarily turned off.  If you are among the small group of affected SOE customers, you will receive an email from us at the address associated with your account that will advise you on next steps in order to validate your account credentials and have your account turned back on.

We want to take this opportunity to remind our consumers about the increasingly common threat of fraudulent activity online, as well as the importance of having a strong password and having a username/password combination that is not associated with other online services or sites.   We encourage you to choose unique, hard-to-guess passwords and always look for unusual activity in your account.

That happened to me once. I accidentally paid 100,000,000ISK of my corp's money for a Rifter because I wasn't paying attention >_< Have to say, I didn't find it particularly funny, mainly because I sucked at making isk so that was basically all my money gone

Yeah, Eve Online. I got scammed in to paying 370 million for standard ships the seller was selling as faction ships (2-20 times as expensive as it's non-faction counterparts). Heh, the oldest trick in the book.

Oh, I haven't heard of that, link?

Well, this scam rid me of half my money. 

[TMRNetShark]

That's why I stopped playing Eve Online... too much like real life when you get burned. It's like having to stay in safe space until your 20-30 million SP in... even then.. that's like 2-3 years worth of work. It's like, OH! You got a capital ship? Good luck getting it to your POS without blowing up.

This is why I always went drone hard and Battleship ready (this is why I went with the Sin Battleship when I decided to go into low sec space)... only thing that could stop me was an Interceptor with warp jamming. Even then... DRONESSSSSSSSS... Oh.. the interceptor seems to be gone. COME BACK MY CHILDREN... FOR WE WARP!

Drones are boring, Battleships are boring, Capital Ships are even more boring, but staying in safe space till 20 million SP? That's just so very wrong.

I've been in Wormhole space (which is essentially 0.0 security space, but actually dangerous) since I've had like 8 million SP. Besides, people go to null and low sec within their first few months or so.

And it being so "real" so to speak is what makes it such a brilliant game.

When half the population just griefs... it makes it no fun for anyone else. I remember the first couple of times that can-flipping got me. "That fucking asshole!"... went to go flip it back, and he blasted me right into dust. Obviously got smarter and used locked cans until I got to the Hulk. Even with a Hulk, ninja mining in null sec areas was a blast... but people always stalk you if your spotted.

[Dale08]

Just opened my fridge and saw some garlic bread sitting there. It might be 1:30am but I'm so tempted to whack that thing in the oven and go to town on it 

[kurandoinu]

Go for it! Garlic bread is great :3

[Ixarku]

Garlic bread is one of the great accomplishments of human cuisine IMO.

You either deal with it (and HTFU (Harden The Fuck Up)) or you gtfo, that's how it goes. 

And I've never in my life used locked cans as I've never mined in densely populated areas. Also, mining is nowhere as lucrative as missioning / running Incursions (which has effectively replaced missioning by offering about double the hourly income).

[Dale08]

But I must save it as a side dish for Spaghetti Bolognese for dinner tonight.

Now how am I meant to get to sleep when I'm so hungry?

[kurandoinu]

Aaaah, that is problem.

... Eat half of it?

[Dale08]

Aaaah, that is problem.

... Eat half of it?

I totally would but I would wake everyone up :S

I shall sleep, wake up and demolish a Hawaiian pizza instead.
