Hackers Forced Announcement of 10th Planet Find

Posted by timothy on from the well-that-was-nice-of-them dept.

JCY2K writes "According to The Inquirer, hackers gained access to the secure server where the data about the new planet was being held and threatened to reveal it. Evidently the discoverers have been withholding this information from the public since 2003 while they waited for full analysis."

      Why don't you fucking fix the code already? It's open source, quit your complaining.

      Bullshit, everybody knows that to get patches accepted you have to give Taco a blowjob.

      Nice thing about open source:
      Get the code and fix it yourself if you don't like it.
      That or start your own site with a decent codebase.
      But bitchin won't do you any good. This is Taco's college project and he still treats it like such.

      Since when did open source become "I am too fucking lazy to code properly... even though I make revenue from said code base"?

      And when did you geeks get so afraid to post non-anonymously? You got something to say? Then SAY IT to ME.

      Made sense back in the late 90's.

      These days, Slashdot is a commercial concern. It makes its money from our patronage (indirectly). As such, we have every right to demand a better service.

      Taco, of course, has every right to tell us to get stuffed, or ingore us, and we have every right to go elsewhere. But that's the beauty of freedom.

    FUD. Bush has NEVER said Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. Lots of "sources" have said that he did, but it never happened. Even the NY Times admits that much. Yet, so many still persist that he did, similar to the whole "Al Gore said he invented the Internet" nonsense. Just because people keep saying that he said it, doesn't mean he said it. Either one of them.

    There are plenty of reasons to criticize Bush, (like the WDMs) but Iraq and 9/11 simply isn't one of them.

    However, take for example, this quote from Bush in 2003, "Before September the 11th, many in the world believed that Saddam Hussein could be contained." Now you can't say the average person wouldn't read an implied link between SH and 9/11 there. But, he's safe on the technicality.

    This is an example of how perception taints reality.

    It sounds like you read that quote and think, "see Bush is saying Saddam was involved in 911."

    I read that quote and think, "we are not safe just because an ocean divides us. our enemies can strike without an army and 911 is the proof."

    I submit to you that you are naturally cynical of Bush, and possibly rhinos in general, and you choose to find implied meaning in words that mean something completely different.

    Meanwhile there are going to be people who will gleefully blame Bush when the next terrorist act happens on our turf and they will say he didn't do enough, because he did too much and people hate us because of him. They always forget to blame the actual terrorists.
