This should be a great way to test euphemism treadmills for instance, try 'lunatic asylum' and 'psychiatric hospital'. Lunatic asylum makes a comeback in the early 2000's, i'm guessing because of history books.
To be honest I would not either. It was meant more as a talking point and certainly not to incite anyone into leaking. By the way
this article and especially the graph in it explains HFT well.
It assures that the market maker receives more money for a share than they would otherwise. The buyer then pays more money to a bank that cannot control its risk. I see no benefit in that.
What I understand is that a growing number of people download the same application (the means) to bring down sites (the common goal) that are supporting the government in the wikileaks case. What am I missing?
I can't follow that at all. There is no infighting for one thing, and those who participate have common, predictable goals and means. Like the tea party movement, Anonymous participants are rebelling against government and the established order.
If you had bothered to read even a fraction of what Wikileaks put out you wouldn't be so ignorant as to make the claim that the US government works "on behalf of the people"
If you really think you can make that case, why not run for office and change things? It would beat writing condescending rebuttals.
Such pragmatic, sensible thinking is not in fashion at the moment. I throw wikileaks into the same box as the tea-party movement. The anti-establishment craze will not last forever, though.

True, but because twitter is driven by marketing, i like better comparing it to Second Life
Ask the oracle..
The harsh reality is that not using facebook is closer to the new 'people who don't own a phone'.
Zuckerberg was not made 'person of the year' because he invented a new marketing tool.
Time probably agreed to dispel the movie in exchange for zuckerberg-interview and details.
What do they even do?
Since they reject $45 billion takover bids, they must have a plan.

...because such a person would say what?

High frequency trading has no social benefit. If wikileaks could leak all source code of that type I would applaud it.

The correct term is a movement. Much like the tea-party. I think Anonymous is the tea-party of the internet.
It is a negated trojan horse.
In another 4 years, what will the tobacco virus be boosting? place your bets :)
I'm thinking solar panels.
James Cameron, then
David Cameron will soon re-release the movie Titanic in 3D. Thus making the physical version of the ship redundant.

You wrote that progress and instability in large part are correlated. They are not. The end.
The 'hacking tool' for everyone: object on F5-key
The howto: Buy a credit default swap on yourself, twice. Default. Profit.
I think the rate of human progress is in large part due to the inherent instability of human society.
I assume you already live in Somalia and revel in all the progress there.
It is a good thing for computer science departments everywhere that those two are not the owners of facebook.
