It's Apple, so if they advertise they are doing some/.er yells about slashvertisment and spam and if they don't say anything about it they are trying to hide it and should be yelled at.
""Democracy" Who among us voted for the patriot act?"
Did you vote for anyone that voted for it? If so, then you did vote for the patriot act.
"Or crumbling roads/bridges?" If you voted for someone running on a "no new taxes" platform that would save you some money it was likely that you voted for crumbling roads/bridges.
So you can be on equal footing with the person that decided they were your judge, jury, and executioner. That may dissuade them from holding court in the first place.
A "you're not helping" from Wikileaks would help to support some small notion that Wikileaks does not condone the attacks. Refusal to condemn is basically passively condoning their actions and what little respect I had left for Wikileaks is rapidly dissolving.
I think you missed the last half of the statement: "and leak only the ones that are actually relevant to wikileaks' purported mission." Unless doing nothing more than embarrassing the US is part of its purported mission.
Excuse me for hating to write checks and having to continually go to the bank to get cash. I am a horrible person for that. And I should be exposing my bank account directly to the web by using a debit card instead of the much safer credit card.

Leave it at your desk, they'll think you're a model employee.

Oh, I have taken action. It won't make the news nor land me in jail. Nor will it make much (if any).
Much like a single vote is meaningless without all the other votes, my actions carry little value on their own.
Aggregated with all the others that aren't throwing temper tantrums and resorting to thuggery is when it can make a change.
Doing something isn't always better than doing nothing.
Must be a pretty quiet irc channel if no one has ever met another member.
Maybe they should have cleaned their plate before asking for seconds.

So waterboarding isn't torture because it doesn't physically harm anyone. Gotcha.
PFC Manning did not have clearance to release the documents, ie he released them illegally.
Released illegally released documents != Illegally released illegally released documents.
How do you ask a DDoS to leave and when they do not comply have them hauled out by the cops for trespassing?
It's one of our oldest wargames. Of course it's violent.
As I've said before, for people that don't want government controlling anything they sure do like controlling everything themselves.
Company X doesn't have port Y on device Z. Oh noes! They're attacking my freedoms! We must force them to have Y on Z whether they like it or not!
A rally in front of a shop is not in the shop.
A DDoS works by using up the target's resources, ie, they are protesting *IN* the shop, not in front of the shop.
A "you're not helping" from Wikileaks would help to support some small notion that Wikileaks does not condone the attacks. Refusal to condemn is basically passively condoning their actions and what little respect I had left for Wikileaks is rapidly dissolving.
Voluntary DDoS attacks are non-physical-violence at best.
Being a DDoS *ATTACK* should be a clue that it is violence.
And the muggers aren't to blame because you were on the wrong side of town after dark.
So this makes a voluntary botnet a horde of computers owned by a horde of clueless actual concerned morons.

Wikileaks had credibility, back when they were a whistleblowing site and not a media corp.
I can buy 50lbs of wheat for $15. 300lbs ($90) will feed a person for a year with some additional nutritional supplements.
PDAs have been consumed by the smart phone market so try there. The iPod Touch is a spin off of a smart phone itself.
Can you still buy netbooks with capslock? Yes? Then you still have choice.
For people complaining about companies taking away choice you sure are eager to take away their choice in matters.
