The funny thing is, that's how Coolio is going to be remembered. Not as one of the most popular rappers of the mid 90s, but as the guy who said no to Weird Al.
I loved Weird Al back in the day. But you kind of have to keep up on popular music to appreciate it. Does he still play his classic stuff? Eat it? Another one rides the bus? Amish Paradise?
I guess it's doesnt' matter either way. He's not coming anywhere near Omaha.
A little fun is fine. However, when real people start getting their personal details posted online it changes from "fun" to "harmful" behaviour.
Everyone got notified that they had to change their account info. No big deal. If it prevents some real criminals from breaking into Sony in the future and actually using that info, they've done good.
Now that they've rolled back to the script-kiddy tactics of DDoS attacks on random targets they've fallen further and are now officially just a bunch of fucking idiots with no appreciation for the harm they're doing to actual real people.
They're just demonstrating that this wonderful city we've built is on a foundation of quicksand. Don't blame them for the demonstration. The fucking idiots are the ones who want to keep building.
Exactly. The illegal part is in sharing the music files, and even then it's just a tort. If you really feel guilty, turn yourself in to the police. Watch them laugh at you. That will show you how unimportant this is.
Still, there are right ways and wrong ways to do things and LulzSec is clearly on the wrong side of the line. This is particularly true when you read their own postings about how they do it "for the lulz."
What exactly does that change? If they're providing a service, why can't they have a little fun meanwhile?
But yes, I also hope these people are caught and punished.
The people who need to be caught and punished are the ones who are storing sensitive data behind the digital equivalent of a screen door.
Robbing your neighbor to prod them into locking their doors at night may end up with a good outcome, but I should still go to prison for it. The same applies here.
Your neighbor has no duty to keep their doors locked. Banks, credit card companies, and the US government do. We are safer for having those servers hacked than if they were not hacked.
Because of this, I am still of the opinion that if you do something that is legal where you live, you shouldn't be able to be charged with a crime elsewhere
"should" doesn't enter into it. The US *CAN* extradite him, so they will. Government isn't about right or wrong, justice or injusice, or even legal or illegal. It's about sheer power and nothing else.
If you've been hacked, you have to assume there's a root kit. Unless you have checksums for every file on the machine, and scan it from a system on read only media, there's no way to prove there's not a back door you haven't discovered yet.
Here in the Netherlands, there currently are a few (right-wing Christian) ISPs that filter internet access at the request of their clients
Can a Muslim get internet filtered to his preferences? If a conservative can get internet with anything fun out, can I get an internet with all the prudishness filtered out?
See, this is a bad idea. Giving conservative christians the ability to filter their internet, but not anyone else, amounts to an endorsement of conservative christianity by the government. Conservative christians can raise their children without exposing them to secular ideas. But us secular people can't raise our children without exposing them to religious ideas.

Why should ISPs invest in infrastructure outlay when they can just raise rates on "bandwidth hogs"?
A lot of weed is pretty bad, but as long as you're only using it yourself, eh... not a huge issue, but clearly you should cop a fine for it.
Why?
So for an even better result you might try nonviolent games, free prostitutes, or marijauna
I agree, we should try all of those things.
Underneath it all, she's a nice midwestern girl.

I'd love to. Don't think there's much chance of him visiting the plains states though.

Which version of HTML5 do you have to support?
UZBL. Has adblock and noscript like scripts. Not sure what Firebug does.
I know. I just want the pro-censorship crowd to eat their own dogfood.
Holy crap, you are stupid. You're trolling right? I don't see how anyone could be this stupid and not be working for the *IAA
You don't really think that's workable, do you?
Exactly. The illegal part is in sharing the music files, and even then it's just a tort. If you really feel guilty, turn yourself in to the police. Watch them laugh at you. That will show you how unimportant this is.
Why are they even using IRC anymore? It's not exactly an anonymous system. There are much more plausibly deniable ways of communicating.

None of them. Not one country in the world has a problem with cannabis use.
They're *all* grey hats.
Is this close enough?
Hardcore roughly equals "difficult". If you can beat a game without practice it's a casual game. If you have to practice, it's a hard core game.
Amarok 2, that's your problem. Amarok has been a steaming pile since 1.4.
You shouldn't have to poke around to find your play queue. It should be the first thing you see.
Same place you register to vote, I'd guess.
