On Hacktivism

I was wondering where that came from. Let me guess, you had carrots with lunch?

Mozilla 1.0 RC1 has been released. If we all remember Windows 2000 RC1 this means "pretty damn stable" (but since this is open sores, I'm skeptical). Get your copy today!
The cure sounds worse than the disease. As I read this story I thought it was a bad joke.
THE CULT OF THE DEAD COW OFFERS A HELPING HAND IN AMERICA'S TIME OF NEED
This hyprocritical line caught my eye:
So we intend to re-architect Back Orifice
from the ground up. There will be absolutely no
shared code between the two projects,
in order to skirt detection by commercial
antivirus packages. The code will remain
totally secret. The software will never
surface publicly. And it will be far
more stealthy than anything we have ever
released, demoed, or publicly discussed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we like Open Source for everyone except for us - because we know better. Save it for the newspapers, Oxblood.
MOD PARENT UP!

I'll get modded down for this (and you) are completely off topic, but toture is just as bad.
Interesting read? Try Matthew 5 - 7: Sermon on the Mount. That's some radical religious thinking for you.
Don't mean to stir up a religious battle or flamewar. Just thought I'd respond to your misperception.

Elbonia. Fag.
Slashdot: Links to Register. Stuff that matters...
Hmm. Murder, not Kill? That might explain the ease with which the Israelis just took out all those Palestineans in Jenin.
'Course, I'd call it murder, were I feeling blasphemous today.
Hacking is wrong.
Cult of the Dead cow? Arent these the people who INVADED privacy with their BO trojen? Well, made it possible anyhow... oh well, good to see them doing something decent i guess
Check out sites like weseeyou.org. Great info and it lets you act on the news you read. It's now my homepage. I'm tired of standing quietly by while Republicans and Democrats let corporations dictate U.S. policy.
