ok. kill off a couple more top engineers, and soon everyone will be scared to go to work... company is in trouble?

what if you turned and started killing off all top ceo's etc? would that cause the market to falter?

(perhaps a good time to invest in a rent-a-cop firm that can then see increase in sales....)

that's what i said... just blow up the servers and google would be down, right?

no need to kill ppl...
but the argument then would be that you kill ppl to instill fear into going to work at all....
i.e. after 9/11 ppl were scared to work in tall buildings, now you hit normal companies, normal areas, normal buildings, and ppl might be scared to go to work anywhere?
would this kill the american economy?

Not really. If the company were smart (which they would be if they got to where they are now) they would have secured everyone. If there were to be a hit on the CEO or someone of a high ranking, their security would consider it a hit on the company. The company still would not be in trouble though. If they outsourced most of their work, it would be business as usual. Now, if their outsourcing company got hit as well, then that would raise some suspensions of an inside job.

but even still, with fear, ppl will respond differently: one take may be: i may not live tmw, i'm going to spend all my money - > spending increases, economy thrives...
another thought: i may not have a job tmw - > spending decreases, economy not so happy...

and at any rate... you bring the us to a halt, then output and productivity will decrease, imports increase, exports decrease, the dollar drops... etc. etc.

backups, backups, backup.

We have a sister company that is ready to go if the place blows up. It's an exact replica. So if anything were to happen here(yes we do receive bomb, terrorist, and other threats) our sister site automatically goes live. The move over would be quick enought to not affect the markets.

but information about companies (esp public ones) is readily available. can find all it's operations quite easily as they are required to disclose everything to sec.
now the thing is.. if it were an inside job, then yes, bring it back to the original point i argued for is that there are far too many openings and there must be something we're not hitting otherwise stuph like this would have already happened...

oh yea, any attack will bring the dollar down. People don't spend in fear of "I may not have a job or if this place blows..."

I'm thinking the "I may not have a job tmw" will happen. It's happen before.
