I knew it! No proprietary software sweatshop could have churned out Skynet. Only the FOSS movement can produce something sublime enough to eradicate humanity.
Please allow me to re-iterate this silly argument that I've heard before:
Anonymous cannot be destroyed by prosecuting its individual members. In order to charge someone, the prosecution must first de-anonymize that person, which immediately voids their membership in Anonymous.
Computer Science is a terrible name for this business. First of all, it’s not a science. It might be engineering, or it might be art it’s also not really very much about computers.
It’s not about computers in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerators, and biology is not really about microscopes and petri dishes.
It’s very easy to confuse the essence of what you’re doing with the tools that you use, and indeed on some absolute scale of things we probably know less about the essence of Computer Science than the ancient egyptians really knew about geometry.
I think in the future, people will look back and say yes those primitives in the 20th century were fiddling around with these gadgets called computers, but really what they were really doing was starting to learn how to formalise intuitions about process.
The thought of content aware ads on wikipedia cracks me up. Too many people take wikipedia as the singular universal truth, and now for a low low price of 0.005 cents per page view advertisers can append their own versions of the truth on there.
Don't like a person/political party/country/nation/race/ideology/historical event? Easy! Just put up a banner ad that says "This article is full of filthy lies" on their wikipedia article.
To expand on your analogy: changing the air filter in this car voids its warranty because this car company is ran by tax-evading monopoly-forming assholes.

Obviously he needs a cover story in case IRS makes inquiries about his yachts.
Anonymous is like a quantum Shroedinger's cat!
Torturing poor kittens with radioactive elements and hydrocyanic acid? Sounds to me like Schrödinger was part of Anonymous.

Openleak's first leak was Wikileak server's root password.
5 minutes later, Wikileaks retaliated by posting Openleak's SQL database password.
Satellite ISPs may be expansive, but they are the only solution in extreme cases such as this one.
Don't "poke" them either.
Urea is a key component in clean diesel engines.
brb, pissing on my truck engine.
The expected lifespan of each is 10 years, and they can be sent back into the atmosphere at the end of their lives to avoid more orbital clutter.
In other news, Canadian forces is expecting to introduce their new kinetic planetary bombardment weapon in 2021.
Exactly. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
prizes that include a trip to the Galapagos Islands, scholarships, and a five-day trip to CERN
Wouldn't it be sad if some kid from Galapagos Islands won?

What other phone can boast of having a full audio archive of every single phone call you ever make, courtesy of the NSA?
Every cell phone on Earth?
The people?

Well, duh.
Frankly I don't see how you can "supercompute" on Windows at all, with UAC and clippy popping up every other hour and whatnot.

My position being relocated to Hell? Fine, but I expect a huge relocation bonus and a raise for all this trouble.
Better brush up on Windows Server 2008 too, since that's probably all they're running down there.
Linux lays the code right out, guarded by bearded blokes.
Not just any bearded blokes, but bearded blokes with swords.
On one hand, Microsoft managed to produce an excellent product that's almost fully compatible with the latest standards.
On the other hand, they're the same people who's responsible for summoning the Devil's own child into this world (under the trademark of IE6).
I honestly don't know what to feel about them right now.
