Anonymous Speaks About Australian Gov't. Attacks

daria42 writes "The loose-knit collective of individuals known as 'Anonymous' has broken its silence about the distributed denial of service attacks on the Australian government. An individual (who insisted he or she is not a spokesperson for the group) said the attacks were more effective at stopping the government's Internet filtering project than signing a petition, and that the attacks could go on for months." The site where some members of Anonymous are said to hang out, 4chan, got a visibility boost yesterday when its founder moot spoke at the TED conference.

    Exactly. You can either think of it as a group of individuals who merely believe the same ideals and co-operate in order to do what makes each individual happy. OR they are a collective consciousness where they are all controlled by one will, but they simply don't know it. I think its the latter.

    It is a reference to the demon Legion in the bible.

    It has never had this meaning.

    anonymous strikes with normal lack of reading comprehension. Let me explain to the cocksucking idiot who modded me off topic. Your ability to mod is a mistake, you and your inbred spastic children who you pimp out to gorillas so you can gather the semen from their bodies afterward with your tongue, are unfit to live due to such blatant stupidity. Fuck you, your family and everyone you love. I hope everything you have ever worked for gets taken and you are left homeless and penniless living under a bridge. I hope your wife and children are sold into slavery where they will be sex slaves for years until they are stars of their own snuff films. So anonymous fucktard mod, die in a fire. Oh, and have a nice day and thanks for contributing to /.
