Before everyone starts speculating on why this was done and politics etc etc. Try to remember that people were killed and their families and they did not deserve such a thing regardless of your political affiliations. This doesn't solve anything.
I honestly don't see how this can be considered 'hacking' to me it sounds like cyber vandalism. A petty crime for petty reasons. Amazon had valid reasons for dropping wikileaks, they aren't crusaders they are a business. This is pretty much tantamount to being the jackass that sits at the red light until it's yellow and then gunning it through the intersection, to make the rest of the people behind you wait for the next light.
I love and hate all these videos. It gives me hope that perhaps one day we will truly travel the stars, and yet at the same time it reminds me how horribly primitive we are in our efforts to do so. I always imagine a space station to have well more space. Think the cheesy space station from the first fantastic four movie. Still maybe one day we will really have the motivation to travel the stars.
Don't tell me the ebooks can only be opened with adobe pdf reader? If so I really don't think it will last, I hate adobes pdf reader, so slow and clunky.
Christ what next declaring another stupid war, like 'the war on drugs'. How long before they start to censor sites with political views not approved by the government, or blocking sites deemed 'risks to national security'. I really get tired of my country trying to police and control everything. What ever happened to wanting more freedom.
I'm just an average guy, and have no desire to enter politics, nor would I be willing to make the compromises in ethics and beliefs required to get elected in this country. Nor do I have any belief that getting elected to the highest office in the land gives you real power when fighting an uncooperative congress and house. Short of a revolution (peaceful or otherwise) nothing will change here.
I pretty much don't give a damn about politics, it won't matter who I vote for. Who ever gets elected immediately does an about face from their campaign platform and keeps going on with business as usual. I'm almost certain elections are just about giving the people the illusion of choice, when it comes to how their governments are run.
I just looked up the cost of CDs on amazon and most were between 5 and 10 USD so the music industry is claiming that she cost them the sale of any where between 2275 to 5550 CDs by sharing those 27 songs for well it doesn't say how long, but seeing as how she was a minor at the time I don't see how a company can justify ruining someone life, at such an early age over 27 songs. Then again that is the problem with corporations, they have more rights than the individual with no moral or ethical qualms other than serving the bottom line.
I remember the assault class in Battlefield 2142, having a rocket addon that essentially did the same thing. You scoped the cover your enemy was hiding behind to set the distance, and then add a meter or how far you need to it via the scroll wheel on the mouse, then launch the rockets which air burst at the set distance. Terrible devastating in game, I can imagine it's as or more effective in the real world.
Regardless of what you install there's no guaranteed way to stop your kid from stumbling upon boobs on the internet. Plus who's to say it's something to worry about at all. They certainly didn't traumatize me.

I rather like the self service lines. Maybe it's just me but the baggers always put my squish ables in with my canned goods it seems like.
Didn't they just ban all portable mass storage devices as security risks? I mean what do they think these smart phones are?
Don't ask don't, give a damn even if we know.

Anyone who's been in school or has kids in school, knows just how useless the reading level is. It's a useless measurement.
Damn this is just dumb, I feel bad for even giving it attention by posting here.
Even if it was hacking the name is just stupid.
Make that Green light until it's yellow.

Gee I dunno, I'd think that getting married or being buried might be a good excuse to not show up to work.

From my experience it must run in the y chromosome.

I think people keep talking about her as proof that they aren't lying when they tell their kids they be anything when the grow up.
I'll start my own internet with black jack, and hookers.
We already know the RIAA suggests you quit college and work solely to pay them off.

The image of the trunk makes me think of Doctor Octopus more than an elephant.
