No, there's a tiny group of people who really wish they could force hacker to mean one thing, and a much, much larger group of people who use it to mean something else. Guess who wins?
Deliberately harming the network is far from neutral, and arguing it should be allowed in the name of freedom isn't going to win you any adherents over the mental age of 14.
I'm not sure how you managed to reach that conclusion. You must have a fascinating thought process, or a complete inability to see things from outside your own perspective.
I didn't see anyone getting excited about the tool anywhere in this thread. Are you guys so insecure that you need to arbitrarily put other people down?
Did you keep track of who expressed which opinion, or are you thinking that Slashdot is some amorphous mass of shifting humanity, except maybe for you?
I'd be willing to pay greater taxes to support you if you gave up your rights to self-determination. You want free money? Cool. You work like we tell you, learn what we tell you, live where we tell you and how we tell you. I don't see why you should get something for nothing.
It's like an allowance. You can earn money on your own and live your life, or you can have my money and live like I want you to.
I'm afraid of being exposed by an amazing human being like you. You shine as a the sun in a dark room full of children who have been fucked hard in every hole by your dad.
SIlenced? Nobody would print his story? Are you paying any attention here, or maybe this whole Wikileaks thing is a figment of the collective human imagination?
Those same people didn't seem to mind Wikileak's standards for redaction when they published papers by governments hostile to the US. Indeed, as I recall, those people didn't object in the slightest to leaks about any other government at all.
Did you keep a list or something? I suspect you're just using a bullshit rhetorical device to make a point.
You don't understand much, do you? I'd bother taking your argument piece by piece, but I can already tell you're one of those goons who substitutes his opinion for reality.
For all those little places where you see things so clearly, I'd recommend having a quick google for the actual relevant laws and court cases. You're exactly dead wrong about everything you posted.

"Turn to the dark side!"
"No."
"Turn to the dark side!"
"No."
"Turn to the dark side!"
"Ok. Should I kill all the kids now?"
Compelling stuff, really.
Kinda like the word "evil" around here.
Those things require effort and expose people to risk. Internet "activists" seem averse to both of those things.
People in internet echo chambers always drastically overestimate their numbers. It's a pretty good rule of thumb.

If the shit stinks, I'm not going to keep smelling it in the hopes that the smell improves some time in the future.
I'm just noting that as a general principle, that's not specifically about Stargate. I've never watched any of it.

Haven't you read Stranger in a Strange Land? It's equally (in)applicable, but it's a much better story.

People think? This was mostly children acting without thought for the future because they've never experienced consequences.
I prefer to use their services, not enter into servitude. You apparently have a much different way of doing things.
Awww you're cute when you blowhard.

With all the libertarians on here...
Did you keep track of who expressed which opinion, or are you thinking that Slashdot is some amorphous mass of shifting humanity, except maybe for you?
Basically because nobody cares anymore. Your desired meaning for "hacker" fell into disuse 20 years ago. Sorry.

Yeah, concrete actions like whining on Slashdot about some people are exceptional and make a lot of money. Change that world!
They were the same people? Did you keep a list or are you just using an rhetorical device to make it look like you actually have a point?
You're clearly jacking off while you do this. Have fun!
Oh well, when you make your choices based on ideology, sometimes you lose.
I'm afraid of being exposed by an amazing human being like you. You shine as a the sun in a dark room full of children who have been fucked hard in every hole by your dad.
I like you, you got moxie.
Here's a quarter, kid. Go buy a nicer shirt.
