1. How are you going to block porn? Would you like me to register a new domain in 2 minutes and bypass your blacklist?
2. What about porn which comes from filesharing - such as torrents or upload-services? Oh right, they're the next step. *Marks*
3. This is going to backfire horribly. 18 year old kiddy living with his mom can't get her to opt in. Married Man with very controlling wife can't get to opt in. So lets visit the bowels of the internet to get porn - and get a virus collection while we're there.
4. If you want to think of the children, you could like - give away free child-control software or something? Yes? No? Maybe?
Ubuntu One? There's a beta client for windows. Not sure whether it allows 'partial' synching.
What's wrong with dropbox? It does all that. You can share files with other people as well. I used it quite heavily to have something common between my partitions and my computer.
There are also some people who hate dark-skinned people, some people who hate poor people, some people who hate women, some people who hate foreigners...
Lets put on a SUPER don't ask don't tell policy - then we could have everyone operating in 1 man teams - so everyone gets along with everyone.
Anonymous is very weird to understand. It functions similar to a terrorist bloc (note I am not calling anyone a terrorist).
If I toss a bomb in the middle of a street and kill 50 people - and I write "Terrorist Group X was here" - who's to say it wasn't them? Or if say a terrorist group decides to take credit for the BP spill - who's to say its not?
Its impossible to work out whether it was anon or not. Its impossible to actually call 'anon' a group. Its just a bunch of people who - at will - decide to partake in DDOS attacks. Its not a collective body, its a number of individuals - and its stupid to think otherwise. If I'm in a group with 100 people, and someone says "Lets DDOS Bank of America", if I agree with it, I'll take part. If someone says "Lets DDOS Spamhaus", and I disagree, I won't take part. There's no real leader. Its all chaotic.
So enough with blaming anonymous for this ddos. For a start you have no proof. To continue, anon isn't a group - its a bunch of people following 'random' leaders, and the ranks change frequently depending on who feels like 'some lulz' that day, and who agrees or not.
In fact how do you determine an action as being done by Anon? Done by the 'leader' ? No real leader. Done by a large amount of the group? Not a very good measure.
If I succeed in telling (say) 50% of anonymous that attacking this site is for their better - then will 'anonymous' be attacking the site? Does it matter?
Summary: Anonymous isn't a rigid structure with leaders, anonymous is an amount of individuals who individually follow a leader at that point in time because they agree with that leader at that point.
It was a 'random blogger' or something. Spanish woman if I remember correctly. Was definably not 42 either. Will try to find an image and will get back to you.
Now COBOL is basically used in years-old legacy code which is held together by the programming equivalent of duct tape. And nobody wants to touch that mess. Oh no.
GP commented that creating and remembering random strings is difficult for humans - I showed a way of creating strings which appear random (and make strong passwords) - which are easy to remember.
Maybe I did prove his point,but I found a way around it.
I was just telling my friend the other day - a giant picture of Jimmy or 'random blogger' is pretty much the same as an advertisment.
If they put ads, they should do them themselves (no giving it out to other companies who will track me) - and they should instead sell spaces in articles. So you look up "mopping" and you get an ad of a mopping company.
Is to think of a sentence that has letters and numbers - and then take the first letter of each word and all the numbers.
Ex: My best friend Joseph was born on the 15th of December = MbfJwbot15oD. Mixed letters and numbers of different cases - and its pretty easy to remember. - What you could also try I guess is to get some sort of hash+salt - type in your password, and use that hash of the password as your password (which will also get rehashed). Bit hard on computers which aren't yours though.
The place I worked had an open plane. My team members had connecting desks to each other. If I needed anything (since I worked in ICT - needing someone else is common) - all I had to do it talk, or move my chair a bit. I think cubicles aren't very good for morale anyway.
Allright, we get it. He's a bit of a weirdo as far as his love-life is concerned.
Now how is this news? Hooray, he likes a particular subset of the female population. What does this have to do with his ability to run a website which leaks government information?
Does this even have ANYTHING to do with ANYTHING? Is this good proof that he raped/didn't call in the morning/whatever someone?
If you want to discredit someone, find something more useful. Like "Dear Diary, raped a woman today. Felt good about myself"
What Anonymous is doing to these corporations may be disruptive, annoying, and illegal but "terrorism?". Come on now. I wouldn't lump a DDOS attack with suicide bombings, plane hijackings, etc.
For a start, you can't stop DDOSes by passing people through a naked scanner and grabbing their reproductive organs.

The Government. What you thought that it was going to be a fair answer or something?

Outside the bathroom door. The rest of the family will appriciate it.

The pony will be a bit harder...

You need to be logged in to see it. *sigh*
You can do lots of things to get more than 2 GB for free. Like telling friends.
Indeed I have, I'm becoming quite an experienced /. user ;)
Is it my fault that when I see "Anon" and "Wikileaks" my mind hops to Anonymous?
I tried Opera last time. It looks quite a bit like FF 4. Which itself is looking somewhat similar to Chrome.
Meh, at this point in time, it hardly matters which browser you use - so long as its not IE6... So browser wars can stop now ;)
But at least all this competition is putting a lot of push into better browsers.
There are also some people who hate dark-skinned people, some people who hate poor people, some people who hate women, some people who hate foreigners...

They'll need to collect enough food first.

Allright boys and girls, lets all say it together.
Blacklists don't work. :)
Buying a new domain costs very little - especially if we're talking about child porn websites - which aren't meant to get millions of hits per day.
Now, lets wait until someone discovers that torrents may contain child porn. Then the circle will be complete.
Uh no.

Fox news said that it makes me more informed than other news stations. This article must therefore be wrong. *Sticks cottonwool into his ears*
Is "Celebrates" the correct word to use in this context?

They tried putting a woman there for a while.

A good way of generating a random string...

Why people still like cubicles.

I wonder why they don't just release the source/game to celebrate or something. Its not like they're going to make any more money off it.
