Hacker Weev Admits To Hacking Printers To Spew Racist and Anti-Semitic Messages (softpedia.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Andrew Auernheimer, a black hat hacker known as "Weev," has admitted to hacking thousands of Internet-connected printers and making them print-out racist and anti-semitic messages. As you'd expect, the hack took place after the hacker used a simple port scanner and found millions of unprotected, Internet-accessible printers. He then used a one-line Bash command that sent them a PostScript file on port 9100. This triggered all printers to print his anti-semitic message. Ironically, the hacker is a former Jew turned neo-nazi while incarcerated for a questionable "hacking" incident when he revealed to Gawker that ATT had failed to protect one of their servers. The printer hack affected devices at USC, UC Berkeley, Northwestern, UMass, Princeton, Brown University, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, DePaul University in Chicago, Clark University in Worcester, and many more.
"Ironically, the hacker is a former Jew"
Is an African American who develops a bizarre hatred of African Americans suddenly no longer black?
Is a white man who believes that whites are responsible for all the evil in the world suddenly Native American?
He can disavow Judaism - plenty of Jews do it. They're called "secular Jews." They're still Jews, and he is, too.
Printer with public internet ip? why?
Asshole acts like asshole
I am Slashdot. Are you Slashdot as well?
If you don't pay me 1K I will print page after page of pure LINES the ink costs will be more then the 1K
There are a lot of incompetent IT departments who never have pen tests.
I wish people would stop calling this guy a hacker. He just walked through an unlocked door. Hardly breaking and entering.
Entering, maybe, but not breaking. Not a hack.
Well, what he did wasn't a hack, but what he is may be considered a hack.
Are local network printers in a public place fair game to print to under the law?
I know of libraries where you have to pay to print and they have some kind of card / coin system hooked to the printers and copiers.
Some hotels have free printers in the guest areas some even have them on the guest network.
DePaul University seems to have pay printing with 3rd party software?
But will the printers just show up in windows add printers just by it doing an local network printer scan? Now what if you are at a place with pay printing or printers that use some kind of AD lockdown / windows based pay printing but you don't know that (say they have free wifi) and windows just auto finds the printer / jet direct card did you just brake the law?
The 80's called... they want their prank back.
Take it easy, Charlie, I've got an Angle...
"hacking a printer" maybe the pay system by just useing the open door to get past it.
Now let's say an hotel has payed breakfast but it's some what hidden as where that is listed and there is no on at the wide open door to the breakfast room and no system to stop people from useing the door at all?
Not "anybody"... What if he printed something like "Sanders2016" on all of those printers? You'd have those same folks defending him...
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
did you just brake the law?
Woah... Slow down there cowboy!
Irony: Agile development has too much intertia to be abandoned now.
What self loathing will make some people do.
Time makes more converts than reason
Neo-communist? The McCarthyites have come out in full force ever since Bernie started his run. I still haven't figured out if the communist label is out of laziness or stupidity.
Time makes more converts than reason
So where is your swastika tattoo? On your skin and/or in your brain?
Why is Snark Required?
I think of some car analogy with public stuff that is wide open to any but was not meant to be.
Like an semi official ramp that let's you unknowingly skip a toll they say it's maintenance use only but's not signed or very poorly signed and it shows up on GPS's and places like google maps.
Back ways into parking lot's that are not meant to be used but are and do show up on GPS's and places like google maps.
Permanent parking only lot's that are not singed / very poor singed / look like are for local businesses (but are really for some other uses or employees only) and look like ones that any one can use.
Private roads that look like real ones and show up on GPS's and places like google maps.
Now in cases like that they can try to throw the book at but will it stick?
My understanding is the hotel can ask you to leave, and if you don't, only then does it become a problem. If you go in, pick up a few muffins, and leave, and nobody tells you to stop, it seems like you'd be in the clear. I tried searching for someone being arrested for eating a hotel's breakfast, but the only stories that come up are a) a guy who was chased off, then came back and pretended to be a cop; and b) a woman who refused to leave, then punched a hotel employee. So they weren't arrested for eating the breakfast, but for trespass (refusing to leave) and impersonation and assault.
Gamergate will never die while people keep using it as the evil triggering boogeyman that dared to kick some hipster ass.
That's total bullshit. No Catholic follows all the rules. And there are plenty of people of Jewish descent who simply ignore their so-called heritage. Even more telling are those galleries of "20 Celebrities You Didn't Know Were Black". Heck, even many recent African immigrants will refuse to be identified with African Americans.
In reality, race, ethnicity, and religion are largely a personal choice and a cultural construct. Sure, someone with jet black skin can't pass for having generations of Swedish ancestors, and vice versa, but both light skinned and dark skinned individuals can usually identify as dozens of different ethnicities.
Hitler had Jewish and African ancestry, and apparently knew it too. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/his...

Funny, it doesn't look very defunct. Then again, it might look that way to an outsider, especially since it's basically won. Sites that were unethical, spouting garbage or running identity politics are either gone or suffering heavily financially. People who parroted those views have either quit or been fired, or moved down in the world to even worse sites. Not only can't you stop mentioning it, the media can't either. There's still 1-2 stories nearly every day about it. I think my personal favorite is how gamergate is now all the evils of the internet and worse then 4chan all rolled into one. Never mind of course that Weev was never a e-celeb or proponent. He was a successful troll in some aspects but that's it. Note how many articles there are spouting his pov...a whole not even one page of results from one of the main gamergate hubs. Yep, such a huge following, not only that but he's labeled as exactly who he is right off the bat. A member of GNAA, and his view points are spelt out right too.
One also can't forget that gamergate unlike those on the regressive left or regressive right doesn't believe in identity politics being the answer, rather that identity politics is cancer. Which means if someone has a good idea, it doesn't matter who they actually are. But, then again you've got all those people on the regressive left side of the spectrum that are pedophile defenders or openly pedophiles, that you like to rally around.
Om, nomnomnom...
Should have just stuck to quietly replacing every instance of the word "strategic" printed with the word "satanic."
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
It looks like sending him to prison the first time was counter-productive. What a surprise.
For those who don't know, weev is a member of a group that calls themselves the GNAA They formed over a decade ago for the purpose of committing abuse on Slashdot and other places. Every wonder why Slashdot scans you for being an open proxy before you post? That's because they abused unsecured proxies to flood Slashdot with thousands of spam comments. They flooded many other blogs in the same way, with the same spam inviting people to join their group. I suspect the message being flooded to printers is probably pretty close to the typical spam that gets posted to Slashdot. The background on weev actually explains a lot; the old messages used to include text like, "lol, jews did wtc," which clearly the antisemitism associated with weev. While they claim to be a security organization and spawned "Goatse Security," they're mostly a bunch of immature script kiddies looking to cause as much trouble as possible.
Note: Shame on you, Slashdot. Apparently I can't even post "Gay Niggger Association of America" (misspelling is intentional, to avoid the lameness filter), which happens to be ontopic and very relevant here. I understand the desire to get rid of spam, but surely there's a better way to stop it.
He'll have a direct line to "hack" critical hardware inside banks, law and investment firms, medical labs and offices and the even the Pentagon.
We're obviously doomed.
I would have pumped a stock or something.
The IoT insecurity issue is one that needed highlighting in a way that people would notice, without any real harm being done. If this makes people close a few holes and go looking for others then it is without doubt a very good thing.
He could have done much worse, there are pieces of information that would fit onto a single page that could actually do a lot of harm if violent sociopaths got hold of it. So I see the Neo-Nazism thing as just an advertising ploy, like the sound of a door bell, microwave beep or phone ringing etc. in TV advertisements, a trigger. It makes you stop and take note, but it isn't the real message.
He wouldn't need to use such ploys if most people were not so shallow and ignorant in the first place. Then again advertising would not work either, if the majority of people were intelligent.
Does this guy also think it's okay to sit in someone's car and imagine themselves on a road trip if they leave their doors unlocked, or walk into someone's garage and start cataloging their possessions if they leave their roll-up door open overnight?
$17,000,000 that's like 1000 toner rolls.
I am sure he could have had the printers spew out plenty of things that would go unreported... as long as they were politically correct.
I am sure this guy violated FAX spamming and unauthorized computer access laws, but, on a related note the USA now punishes thought crimes.
This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.
Weev made a much more sympathetic figure when he was busy being a symbol of prosecutorial overreach and badly designed computer security laws. He's a lot less sympathetic as a committed white supremacist troll. Also see: This is why we can't have nice things.
That depends on where you live, sort of. Principally, they're still a thief but, if the car is running or the keys are in the ignition then it's "Unauthorized use of a motor vehicle." Well, that depends on where you live but in at least three jurisdictions that's the law as far as I understand it.
They're still going to prison but it's a different crime. There's also grand theft, which means it was a value greater than a certain amount, and amount that varies by jurisdiction - or so I'm given to understand.
"So long and thanks for all the fish."
Good thing you said "act". What he did is hardly hacking unless we want to claim getting things to do what they were design to do hacking just because the owners had no clue they set it up to do it.
Seriously. . Port scanning and sending a file is called a hack now?
According to Israel, the only way to stop being a Jew is to become a Christian - though the Nazis didn't agree.
Also according to Israel, conversion by an Orthodox Rabbi makes you a proper Jew. One of the hot topics is whether Reform Rabbi's conversion are acceptable - at the moment they are not.
Although I'm happy for someone to self-identify however they like, and I would happily stop identifying someone based on a label if they asked or I thought it offended them, I don't think that is entirely fair sentiment. Jew has traditionally, and still does for many people, mean someone descended from ancient Hebrews; in that way it differs from religion in that it isn't a label of your religious convictions. Obviously someone who doesn't self-identify as a Jew can make that personal choice, but I don't think that makes someone else who defines them as a Jew wrong. You can call your standard style house "a space station" but I'm still going to call it a house when talking to other people (even if I am happy to humour your preference in person) because I also get to define what I think words do or don't mean and your definition doesn't overrule that.
If your mother was a Jew, you're a jew. If you're mother wasn't a Jew, You aren't a Jew. Its not something you get to pick.
Wow, you sound just like my Grandmother! I mean, really, this is not a facetious joke. When I turned out atheist, I got that lecture repeatedly. Of course back as a young teenager, I wanted to be different and super special and everything, so I was all with the "ha! I'm not a jew" etc etc.
Fast forward a few decades and I'm still atheist, but I make the best chicken soup in the family.
Also, as you said:
So, just for reference and clarity ... Any jew who calls himself a neo-nazi ... is ignorant moron who has no fucking clue what he's talking about.
There are parts of being Jewish you literally cannot renounce. You can stop worshiping (of course), and you can pretend your heritage/upbringing is different from what it is/was, but there are people out there who will blindly hate you no matter what you do. There is nothing you can do to renounce that side of things.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
My gosh, you slaughetered that straw man.
I live when people make up random shit, claim that someone they don't like would do it if only they could, then get angry and righteous about it. In fact you remind me of Angry Frank:

Sending jobs to open printers in the Internet without any kind of authentication is "hacking"? Slashdot, what have you became...
Funny, it doesn't look very defunct. Then again, it might look that way to an outsider, especially since it's basically won.
Ah yes, claiming a win after an astonishingly thorough defeat. Reminds me of something:
Black Knight: Just a flesh wound.
Arthur: Look, stop that.
Black Knight: Coward! Coward!
Arthur: Look, I'll have your leg. Right!
Arthur cuts off the Black Knight's leg.
Black Knight: Right, I'll do something bad to you for that!
Arthur: You'll what?
Black Knight: Come here!
Arthur: What are you going to do, bleed on me?
Black Knight: I can't be beaten!
Arthur: You're a crazy person.
Black Knight: The Black Knight always wins! Let's fight! Come on then.
Arthur cuts off the Black Knight's other leg.
Black Knight: All right; we'll say the fight was equal.
Arthur: Come, Patsy. (to his servant)
Black Knight: Oh, oh, I see, running away then. You cowardly offensive man! Come back here and take what you deserve to get. I'll bite your legs off!
Sites that were unethical, spouting garbage or running identity politics are either gone or suffering heavily financially.
Like Gawker, right?
One also can't forget that gamergate unlike those on the regressive left or regressive right doesn't believe in identity politics being the answer, rather that identity politics is cancer.
No, they just believe in "ethics" as defined by (a) making shit up about people, (b) doxxing them and (c) the hate campaign,

If by pure chance he hits the right keys, he hits them in the wrong order.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
Ah yes, claiming a win after an astonishingly thorough defeat. Reminds me of something:
So who were they defeated by? Looks like to me you're pretty damn salty that a leaderless grassroots revolt against shitty journalists that ran their own giant story/article writing collusion group akin to Journolist(which was called Gamejournopros). The leaks from that easily show exactly how much collusion was going on in that. And you're also very salty at just how these incestuous people were caught giving giving hand outs to their friends, people they were shacked up with, or fucking. Sure does speak a lot about people who don't give a shit that they're being lied to, and like it instead.
Like Gawker, right?
Well GG has never actually claimed for gawker, except costing them 7 figures in ad-revenue and showing people exactly how shitty they are. And showing advertisers exactly how shitty companies like Gawker are. You know, Gawker the same site that believes that bullying people is good. For a group of supposedly evil people though, GG's response was to donate to an anti-bullying campaign. But anti-GG? Oh they were right out there supporting what ol'Sam was saying. But other sites? Yep. Some are just significant drops in traffic, others have closed for good.
No, they just believe in "ethics" as defined by (a) making shit up about people, (b) doxxing them and (c) the hate campaign,
So who have they made shit up about? I'll wait. I'm sure you're going to try trotting out something on Quinn. You know, the same piece of shit that filed multiple false DMCA claims, and then slapped order against her ex because he pointed out that she was a domestic abuser, and was trying to warn others away from her. Also, who has GG doxxed? I'm sure they'll be forthcoming. I'll be happy to point out various anti-GG individuals who have openly doxxed people, and continue to do so to this day. Oh, like that prominent anti-GG person Graham Lineham. FYI, one of the most prominent anti-GG people was arrested a few months back for trying to tell a terrorist how to build a bomb. But they also wrote for big name progressive sites, and as a feminist too.
And what hate? Find it. Because I'll tell you something, anti-GG's have done a very good job of attacking anyone who refuses to fall in line with their group think. I think my person favorite is when anti-GGers decided the "if you're supporting GG, and you're a minority/women/etc., you're a racist/sexist/homophobes." But that's really all their arguments boil down to anyway, trying to claim that they're being harassed and screaming that people are racist/sexist/homophobes because they're losing an argument or being shown that they're actually the shitty people out there. I think my favorite out of all of that has been when Quinn and Sarkeesian ran to the UN crying about how demands for proof of their statements and criticism of their work was harassment.
The entire thing has done a wonderful job of proving how many people can't be bothered to actually read the news beyond what they're being told. Then again, I kinda like this bit too. Where people starting saying "muslims are terrorists," the media will start screaming "not all muslims are terrorists, you're just islamophobic!!!" But if one person in GG does something wrong, all of GG has done something wrong. Yep, no agenda there at all.
Om, nomnomnom...
For the lulz? Here is a one-hour interview with Weev on a well-known White Supremacist podcast. There are no lulz to be had, but a good deal of racism, discussion of "White Genocide" and promoting "noble European values".
http://www.redicecreations.com...
Promoting racism "for the lulz" and doing it at a scale like Weev does is an interesting way to get one's entertainment, you have to admit.
You are welcome on my lawn.
The problem is he port scanned to find the printers. The law in many places views that as going to every house in a town and checking to see if the front door is unlocked. Even if it is, all you did was avoid a "breaking an entering" charge but are still guilty of trespass.

SJW, n: "Someone I don't like, and by the way I'm a fuckwit" - AC
Bullshit! I voted for Sanders and if this weev fellow had printed "Sanders2016" on those printers I'd be saying the following:
"This Weev is an idiot, you don't support a candidate by breaking the law and accessing a huge number of networked resources you don't have authorization to use. Throw the book at him and send him to PMITA federal prison for life."
at least people will know who is really behind all this hacking hoopla and stop blaming poor people in Russia, China, Ukraine, etc.
A neo-communist? Only someone to the EXTREME right would think a New Deal Democrat (that's truly what Sanders is), is a communist.
If he aint talking about government ownership of all means of production....he isn't a communist.
Seriously. . Port scanning and sending a file is called a hack now?
On Slashdot? No. For the general public? Yes, probably. Heck, he used a Bash command! Anything today involving a command line is obviously "advanced computer use" for most people.
Also, I'm sure you've seen plenty of articles in the past few years talking about "iPhone hacks" or "Kindle hacks" or whatever, which often involve little more than being able to hit the "advanced" button on some menu and select a different option. If it's not a clear button that appears on your home screen and shouts "Click Me!", it now seems to be a "hack" in general parlance.
The word has become diluted significantly in meaning.
Though, to be fair, the general public never really understood the distinction. A Bash script would always have been a mystery to most people. And the media has always been quick to use the word "hacker" whenever a nefarious computer deed has been done, regardless of the technical complexity involved, or whether any significant "cracking" of security features had been involved. I've seen people who have downloaded files unintentionally made available on the public internet branded as "hackers" in news articles if they then make that information available (and if it's embarrassing to someone).
Yes, Bernie Sanders is a Communist. And that particular article came out before he started to run for Presidency. The "Socialist" label he prefers is hardly better (Socialism is nothing but Communism-lite), but he was and remains a member and supporter of openly Communist organizations. As recently as 2014 Bernie Sanders was hailed by Democratic Socialists of America — a "New Left" organization comprised of what was left of the Socialist and Communist movements of the "Old Left". And he was not merely endorsed by these assholes (the way, Trump was endorsed by Duke) — Sanders was a distinguished speaker at a DSA gathering that year. On the same page the Senator is also called "DSA member".
The funny part is, most of his defenders would dispute — often angrily — the "Communist" label while also disagreeing, there is anything wrong with being a Communist. So, before going any further, please, state for the record, whether you are one of such people... Thanks!
While Fascism/Nazism is largely extinct from public life (though, sadly, not from government), Socialism/Communism — the far more murderous school of thought — is rearing its even uglier head... And not only on Slashdot.
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
Wow, it really would not take much to be convicted in a People's Court with you presiding... What would it be, your honor, 25 years of hard labor, or an execution in the basement?
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
But it was not a straw man — look at CronoCloud's post below, for example. According to that, we should be seeing something posts rebutting Weev like this:
See? Though the words are right, they are lukewarm and hatred and passion are missing. CronoCloud is not calling Weev "Communist", for example, which you have to be to really support Bernie Sanders, for example. Not even "Socialist" (a.k.a. Communist-lite), which Sanders calls himself.
And, certainly, no SJW would call Weev "racist" or "homophobe" in that case — which is what I actually predicted.
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
But it was not a straw man
Yes it was because none of those events happened.
See? Though the words are right, they are lukewarm and hatred and passion are missing.
You absolute despicable liar. You cut off this bit of the quote:
Throw the book at him and send him to PMITA federal prison for life
He's calling for him to spend the rest of his life in a hellhole.
CronoCloud is not calling Weev "Communist"
Uh, so?
which you have to be to really support Bernie Sanders, for example
My god you have no idea what communism is. It's also funny that you think it's an insult. A clue for free: many people here aren't American and in any case, it's not 1950 any more.
Not even "Socialist" (a.k.a. Communist-lite), which Sanders calls himself.
"socialist" is only an insult if you're an incredibly silly person. To the rest of the world it's a simple fact. Are you going to criticise ChronoCloud for not including other irrelevant facts like a complete listing of all of Sanders' policies?
And, certainly, no SJW would call Weev "racist" or "homophobe" in that case
You know, words mean things. "racist" and "homophobe" are actually words that have meanings. They're not simply genericised insults. They are actual words with actual meanings. Citation: the dictionary. Any one you choose. If you post racist, homophobic things (and such things are often associated with Nazis, neo or otherwise) then you're racist and homophobic. If you send "vote sanders" messages, then that has no bearing on whether you're racist or homophbic.
which is what I actually predicted
So far all you have successfully predicted is that "SJWs" have a substantially better grasp of English than you do.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
He may not be talking about it openly, but there are enough dog whistles in there to attract vast packs. But, whether he talks about it is irrelevant — whether he believes in it is important. And he does... Bernie Sanders is a member of an organization, that is a thin front for Communists.
They know of the toxicity of the "Communist" label (preferring "Socialist" instead), but aren't shy about their admiration for Marx. For example, here DSA speaks fondly of the founder of Communist Party of Italy. Separately a member of DSA's "National Committee" David Green once wrote:
Ah, you'll say, that's all from capitalist haters, just can't be true, right? Well, here is fresh from DSA's own mouth (emphasis mine):
Good enough for you? Far less evidence was used to claim "Trump is a KKK-supporter" or something like that...
Anyone replying to this post and expecting to continue the conversation, please, be sure to state unambiguously:
Responses missing clear answers to the above will be returned unopened. Thank you.

I wouldn't call this hacking...more like sending spam. He blasted a message to any device who would listen, and those that responded printed out what he sent.
Talking about hypothetical events has nothing to do with a "strawman" argument which is defined thus:
Talking about a hypothetical can be a valid and useful rhetorical vehicle and not necessarily a "straw man". Talk about "grasp of English"... Or Logic, for that matter.
I cut off the part I deemed irrelevant. My linking to the original post is enough to refute accusations of "lying".
Born and raised in the USSR, I have a much better idea of what Communism is, than 90% of Americans.
Khmm... One would've thought, Hans Christian Andersen dispensed with that line of reasoning a century and half ago... No, darling, simply calling anyone who believes something names is not enough. Socialism (a.k.a. Communism-lite) is the most murderous school of thought known to humanity so far — even Hitler's peculiar brand of Fascism is but a distant second. So, yeah, to people who pay attention to semantics, "Socialism" is a dirty word.
Finally, we agree on something! Yes, the words have meanings and the very point of the starter of this thread was that SJWs have made these particular terms meaningless by applying them to everyone who disagrees with them.
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
Well, at least they're not "SWATting" people yet... BRB someone at door
Talking about hypothetical events has nothing to do with a "strawman" argument which is defined thus:
Except you are ascribing those hypothetical actions/arguments to a very real group of people, and then attacking the people based on those. Classic straw man.

cut off the part I deemed irrelevant. My linking to the original post is enough to refute accusations of "lying"
You are a rotten liar. You claimed there was no harsh language and the but you deemed "irrelevant" was... all that harsh language. In other words you deemed irrelevant the bit that completely contradicted you.
Born and raised in the USSR, I have a much better idea of what Communism is, than 90% of Americans.
Then you've suffered a complete brain bypass. Sanders is not by any measure of anything "communist".
Khmm...
Crikey you're an idiot. I mean I really don't know how else to put it. You're equating Stalin and Chairman Mao to the current governments of quite a few European countries.
Yes, the words have meanings and the very point of the starter of this thread was that SJWs have made these particular terms meaningless by applying them to everyone who disagrees with them.
Oh I see, you got really angry about something you yet again made up. I think you should perhaps seek medication because you have a very tough job distinguishing fantasy from reality and you get very, very angry about those fantasies.
SJW n. One who posts facts.
Which argument have I attributed to any group of people?
I never made such a claim, nor used the word "harsh". If you insist on accusing others of "lying" over such things, you better be "squeeky fucking clean" yourself.
I pointed out the absence of any significant passion in CronoLog's response. His language was harsh, but nothing to raise fists about or to chain oneself to one's car. As someone would say, it was "low energy"...
He certainly is. To avoid duplication, if you wish to continue this topic, please, follow up to this other post of mine — and be sure to to answer the three questions I ask at the end in your reply. Thank you.
I didn't. Some AC did. I, actually, corrected him slightly.
Sorry, I'm not going to argue the abuse of terms like "racist" with someone so deeply in denial as you. I consider your and others' disputing of Sanders being a Communist to be much more important this year but have limited bandwidth.
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
I never made such a claim, nor used the word "harsh".
I never said you used the word harsh. I said you claimed there was no harsh language. You specifically said:
hatred and passion are missing.
empassioned hatred is harsh. You need to understand the difference bewtween descriptions (what I used) and quoting (what I didn't).
I can't be arsed to argue with you any more. Either you have such a poor grasp of English that it's clearly unproductive or you are intentionally misrepresenting as much as you can in order to "win".
At least you've stopped trying to pretend that socalism and stalinism are the same, at least in this thread. I'll take that as a win, for sure.

The devices were put in free-game mode, possibly with the awareness that Some Punk Kid might do something obnoxious, and thus ruin it for everyone by breaking the Have Nice Things implied-truce. A risk to acknowledge and accept because some of us are just fucking nice and do shit like that anyway, strange as that may seem to the modern American mind.

Recognizes the unique value of every human life from the time of conception to natural death and pledges to promote research and clinical practice that provides for the healthiest outcome of the child from conception to adulthood.
Recognizes the physical and emotional benefits of sexual abstinence until marriage and pledges to promote this behavior as the ideal for adolescence.

The American College of Pediatricians is a fraud. They've got around two hundred members, and were formed by a group who left the respected American Academy of Pediatrics in protest after that organisation endorsed gay marriage. The purpose of the organisation, the sole reason upon which they were founded, was to provide a legitimate-seeming medical front for those who have religious or moral objections to any deviation from their strictly heterosexual norm.
It's an example of the rich tradition of political pressure groups taking names that sound non-political, because people are instantly suspicious of anything an overtly political group says.

It would be kind of amusing to create a public printer that generates PDFs just to see what people might print. You'd have to have some basic protection to limit the number/size/amount of documents printed, and probably have it on some read-only system that couldn't get exploited.
But it might be entertaining to see what got printed.
The tragedy of this thing is that the dumb guy chose to bulk print offensive stupidity.
Much more enjoyable would have been a more calculated strategy to create some kind of apparent conspiracy by "accidentally" printing apparently real documents, and carefully distributing the "pieces" like some kind of puzzle, distributing them across the country (or even world) and/or altering the "message" to have it appear that your fake conspiracy had some geographic movement or flavor.
An obvious (and probably not believable one) would be messages tracking victims of a zombie outbreak.
He accessed MANY systems he did not have authorization to use, committing many crimes, federal ones.
We need to send a message to the next over-privileged nerd out there who thinks of doing a stunt like this or it keeps happening. Perhaps we'd have less of this shit if that spoiled brat Morris hadn't been coddled because his dad being NSA.

1. Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: âoeXYâ and âoeXXâ are genetic markers of health â" not genetic markers of a disorder.
This is, of course, untrue.

Idiots will call anybody a "SJW" these days; that term has become meaningless.

Huh?
Is that why you post anonymously? So that I can not refer to your post history?
Exactly! Which is why I claim, the differences between Communism and Socialism are merely quantitative (as opposite to qualitative) — you may still own a toothbrush under Socialism, but not a restaurant. And if you are lucky to own a car, you can not use it to make money — because that turns it into "means of production".
That "expansion" you mentioned happens gradually but inevitably as Individuals gradually lose rights to the amorphous Collective represented by the more equal.
Irrelevant. Not going into fine points of variations (Stalinism vs. Leninism vs. Trotskyism vs. Maoism vs. whoeverism). Though their adherents would kill the others over these fine points, all of them are disastrous to any country, where attempted in earnest.

No I'm just astonished that despite being founded on a fabrication (there were no reviews) and a harassment campaign people still keep insisting GG are somehow the good guys.
No one said it was reviews, except the people too dense to take a look outside of their echo chamber. It was positive coverage, and it was, multiple times. And in that, there were other people. Can you find that actual harassment? I'll wait.
While simultaneously trying to bully Anita Sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn off the internet. Okey dokey then.
Really? Where is this bullying...oh right...now I remember: SJW101: "Criticism is harassment and bullying."
Yep!
You should try harder, just saying.
Ah right so her doing something after this all blew up justifies you starting it off by making up lies. Ethics, got it. Must have been a pre-emptive ethical freedom strike.
So what were the lies again? If you're banging someone, and you're writing about them, that's an ethical breach. Funny how even MSM reporters can figure that one out.

You mean trying to silence someone's review on their "game" because they didn't like the review? Well that isn't a lie. That she was sleeping around with multiple people who were writing about her? That wasn't a lie. That going by her own definition of rape(cheating on someone), she was committing rape. That also wasn't a lie. So what were the lies again?
Visiting those cesspools? No thanks! I've seen enough before.
Oh, so you enjoy your echo chamber and don't like being exposed to ideas that would throw your world into disarray, and counter that your view point is actually incorrect. Very good, stay in that echo chamber.
Yes, you can just run right up to the UN and they let you in. True story. I'm sure the UN didn't, you know, invite them. And I must say that you seem, in your own words, rather salty about that if I say so myself.
Do you actually know how hard it is to do a presentation at the UN without one of the following? Money, connections, and positions of power. Those people don't have that, people they know who were/are directly involved with them do have it though. So yes, running to the UN.
The irony, it burns.
Oh yes, the irony. That part where you'd rather enjoy your ideological hugbox because reality doesn't fit with your preconceived notions and what the media tells you.

I'm not sure if they play games at all or are just involved in different gaming circles but I could see the ground work for shit blowing up back when Mass Effect 3 was released with that shit ending. A lot of people were left pissed off by the response to their complaints, being talked down to and being called entitled. People who care have been unhappy with the state of gaming for a while and having "their" media attack them for their hobby was the final straw.
It started way before the ME3 debacle. It hit a head with it though, the incestuous relationship between "game journalists" and the people they were writing about though, blew the top off it. People will only take shit so long, and like you said when those so called journalists decided to start attacking the people that make them money, that was it. It's going to go down in marketing history as one of the biggest clusterfucks in the 21st century and how to kill your brand in one easy step.

Such as trisomy-21, also known as Down Syndrome ; triplication of the 21st chromsome rather than the normal diploid (duplicated) state.
I would infer from the tone that the ACPeds take that they don't consider such organisms to be human. Which is problematic as there is a good chance for some of them at least to produce fertile offspring with others who are accepted member of the human species.
The definition and meaning of "species" gets a bit awkward at the edges.
Birds are not dinosaur descendants;birds are dinosaurs, for all useful meanings of "birds", "are" and "dinosaurs"
Yes, and most would be surprised just how many organizations there are like it.
For every legitimate scientific institution there are multiple political groups with names easily confused with it, and they are used to discredit real science.
Also, many of the once legitimate scientific institutions have been taken over by political groups or industries. FDA and CDC are some prime examples where industry has completely taken control of the scientific organization created to regulate them.
I say, go for it.
If we are lucky people will recognize it for the farce it is and it will make them start to question other organizations.
Most likely though, you will get a huge group of followers who are too fucking stupid to comprehend what the message of the organization is and you will have to back out and explain what you were really doing the whole time to keep the legislation from being passed.
That was some interesting information.
What a shitshow this is turning out to be.
