So I read waht I could about his website through archives and I read what he wrote on one of the sites he hacked. All I have to say is this kid is asking for it.
It is one thing to be against the government for what they do and how they do it. Things change when you are making threats of war towards a New World Order. (Wasn't that an organization from WCW?) AKA, the government of the United States.
I for onw feel threatened about the tactics he posted on how to conduct a riot. I mean they are flat out violent. Mondavi? Cocktails and what not. Blowing up cars. Using chemical bombs. I have heard that sometimes you need to hit someone in the back of the head with a baseball bat to get their attention but when it comes to potential hurting and killing an individual to get your message across. Then you have gone to far.
Frankly, I am happy for the country I live in. I don't feel horribly hasseled, let alone oppressed. (Pretty sure I butchered that word but one can never tell)
I mean if the government really bothered him that much, one would think he would have moved to Mexico or Sweden. Not stay here where Big Brother is gonna get him.
This kid hacked and defaced websites. Crime. He admitted to it. (Real stupid on his behalf) He has had opinions which are essentially threats towards our government and country. Crime. He is rallying, or attempting to rally is what it seems like.... an army. Wanting to have ex-military join this UCA.
Yeah, right.
How can you call your actions justice when innocents are threatened. How can you only get your message across with the defacement of websites. Run by innocents. It is the same as getting your message across by spray-painting my home with your message. Another innocent is threatened. Frankly I hope he gets both barrels. Right in the ass. Make him think twice before he sits down again and writes more anti-political liturature.
On a side note... just to vent. I don't understand anarchists. Where would we be without a government and laws. If we over throw it, then anything goes. It would be safe to say that if for example the UCA over-threw our government there would be no laws and no supposed Government oppression. So I could at random go kil someone for their car or vice versa someone kill me for my car and they could not be punished. Because of lack of government. This is what I don't understand, have they not looked that far into the future and forseen the results of such chaos. The country will fall and states will divide, if they even have the means of doing that. As far as I can see, anarchy is bad. Real bad. Because then you would have to go through the whole process of creating a new form of government. And we have seen how long that takes. Just my 2 cp.
BTW, I should have joined his group since I have vast alien technology knowledge. You know, tri-lithium crystals and biological feeback on Trillians. (ROFL!)
This is exactly why I hate opinions about Microsoft from/. users. XBox does have DVD and yes to take advantage of it you have to buy a 30 dollar remote.
So where do you get off saying-
'Gotta love MS and their "DVD support"'
I can't think of one game station that didn't cost money to upgraded. Nintendo 64 and their 4mb memory expansion card.
"Gotta love Nintendo and their "High-Resolution Game Support"
PS2 and their hard drive expansion.
"Gotta love Sony and their "Memory Storage Support"
They all have expansions. It is part of console dogma. Release a console, add accessories to make money. Next time you make a comment as stupid as that last one you made about the DVD Support. Why don't you go out and the street and let your mom kick you in the back of the skull to give you some common sense, because right now you sound like a fucking moron.
who said this. It could have been Aristotle, or Einstein, perhaps maybe Malda. Either way it goes somthing like this.
"Computers are worthless, they only provide answers."
This is true. Until a computer poses a legitimate question. As in one of those deep ones that make you wonder and think. Then they have no chance at impacting our existence other than serving our needs.
BTW... I would just like to say. I have been running Linux for the first time and I love it. What have I been using the past 6 years!? NOw i just need to find a copy of Quake and I will be set.
They sell somthing they offer for free. Somthing that you can buy one package of and distribute throughout a whole of thousands of computers. The return with only a 600,000USD loss? Damn... I am impressed.
I guess MS put their foot in their mouth when they said you can't profit from somthing that is free.

The question is, what levelof censorship are you referring to? Is it local or global?
By local I mean at the home end users system.
By global I mean global censorship.
If it is local, okay great I am all for it. Filter out the madness.
If you are referring to global, then fuck you. I have a right to say what I feel and others have the right to ignore or to listen. They can ignore on the local level if they feel, not global. The internet provides the freedom of speech to everyone with a computer or access to the internet.
There might come a time where this right to say what we feel is taken away. The only way to be heard is to hack websites and post your message for the world to see. If this is the case Mr. Censorship I am hacking yours first.

I would like to start with saying, Jon Katz obviously never attended college as an English major. I have never seen so many grammerical errors in my life. (Except in my own writings)
Okay so here are these guys saying Net Revolution, Jefferson, Freedom, Constitution, blah blah blah. What they have to realize is that in the Internet World as we know it, you have choices that don't exist in the real world.
The internet isn't the United States, sure some laws due fall into it, but it is an alternative universe. You can be totally anonymous. You can speak an opinion, you can ignore an opinion. YOu can block out an individual entirely or speak together as a community. That is the beauty of the machine. Here you are, connected to millions of people World Wide. If you speak your mind in a forum, thousands, literally thousands of people can read and get to respond with their opinion right back. They can ignore your post or agree with you. That is what makes this thing called the internet so beautiful. You make the rules in a system built on rules. (I know, nearly a Matrix quote)
Yes these rules can be bent broken or ammended and that is why people are addicted. That is why my mom at 57 years old checks her email and chats to my brother where previously she wrote on stationary and called over the phone racking up long-distance charges.
The internet is a revolution but not in the sense that Jon Katz means. It isn't a new country where democratic (totalitarian) leaders force their people to obey. The Net isn't going to redefine the class system as we know it. The net is a new means of communication. After all that was its original purpose, no? To send data back and forth across great distances instead of flying with the diskette in hand. It just evolved a few giant leaps further into the mess that it is today.
It will continue this evolution too. (until we can all communicate telepathically, then it will be used for Q3 Deathmatch) It isn't the internet revolution I would be concentrating on so hard. Granted it is just awe inspiring to fathom its intended greatness. I would concentrate on the technological revolution in general.
Back in 1997, the fastest computer a home user could buy was a 200MHz Pentium Pro. Four years later we are at 1500MHz. We have supercomputers contained within laptops and Series of computers that take up 1/20th the space of its later-day brothers but produce more clockcycles-per-second than the older boys did heat. Holographic drives are coming eventually as well as magnetic ram. YOu can walk around college campuses on a wireless VPN or use a friggin' web pad to check out stock. We have come along way, you must admit. What is weird is we haven't hit an impass yet. Moore's Theory (There is no such thing as a law) still holds true. (Eventually it will be broken, give it time)
I just think this whole idea that the internet is some massive City State is rediculous. It is no where near that point, yet. What we need to do as a whole is work together to make it perfect. Make it more human-centric. (A good philosophy by the way)
Okay, who wants a wet wire?!;)

First off... if the internet is a superset of the printing press it still can be number one. The printing press wasn't just reconizable characters... it was a method of mass producing books. This helped literacy as well as trigger some serious deep thought in the age of enlightenment. Books dropped in price, hence afford-ability.
The internet isn't just information but a place where people can connect and talk and share as well as download the hottest new single buy Eminem and read various selections of Edgar Allen Poe at 2am when the library has long closed awhile ago. It isn't just a superset, if it was, it is an entirely different invention composed of millions. Given enough time it will touch billions.
Secondly, I never said everybody I said nearly everybody is connected. Don't put words in my mouth that I never said because that is how falsified facts occur. Don't be that guy, don't be that liar.
Continuing...
You mean to tell me the American Revolution was a quick and violent change? I hardly think so. In fact I know so considering I studied about it for a whole friggin' year. What about the Russian Revolution... that took time. Most revolutions take time and with time the Computer Revolution will evolve into somthing great.
Now to clarify... I would put printing press number two to the internet sonsidering they are two separate technologies. Printed word reaches and touches people, it does not connect people to each other in the form that the internet does. Sure you can mail a letter through snail mail to connect to your long lost friend, that could take 24 hours to a week. Or you can send an email... 30 seconds maybe... or an Instant Chat session on Jabber or in an IRC Client.

Yes there are unkept promises but, that comes with time. I remember watching the Discovery Channel around the time off the 2000 switch. They had this special that was like 4 hours long about the 100 most influential people of the millenium. Of couse they tied Bill Gates to the Internet as its creator. However, the internet made it into the top 30 I think.
This is wrong... first you can't tie Bill to the internet as its creator. That would be silly.
Continuing...
The number one most influential person was Guttenberg because of the invention of the printing press hence the spreading of the written word.
I disagree.
Yes I am a devote follower of God but I do not believe the printing press was the single best invention of the last 1000 years. I believe the internet to be. Heres why:
It not only spreads the written word but it spreads all information. Where else can you get an Anarchists handbook, music, news, applications, food, gifts, etc. All can be done locally from your home. Technically if one were so inclined. They would never have to leave their home.
Nearly everyone is connected. Given time the whole of the world will access the internet as if they were using a phone. Revolutions take time.
We can't expect for it all to be done in a matter of a decade or more. It takes time. Look how long it took to receive our freedom from the Brit's.
This isn't somthing can can happen over night. There is no backlash! I am sure someone said this about the phone we know and use today. Wrong. The internet is somthing great and pure.
I don't mean morally pure. I mean it has done what it was intended to do and gone beyond that reaching further than planned. It is a beautiful thing. It is maybe the best thing this world could have asked for.

Kinda contradictory "I have contributed to the OS that I use. In fact I have been an [MS] developer in the past." and "This is why i don't use [MS]products." Do you even know whay OS you use? Who ever heard of NT9? Which makes me doubt your proclaimed prolithic age and knowledge and "talent." (adjective in quotes is used to preserve the anonymity of another prefered word)
I know how my computer works and I use the OS that actually has stable drivers for the hardware I use. I will never in my time see a driver that is reasonably stable for a Santa Cruz.
How exactly does the whole MS process work? Since you seem to know oh so much about Microsoft.
As for nay pro wrestling approaches, I think between the two of us you have the better career with that load of shit you posted. My brain, NT9, OS contributions, transmissions? Damn, you make Hulk Hogan himself seem less worthy.
My whole point behind XP is this. Before NT everything was primarily Unix run. Servers that is. Now look at the market. Unix has lost half of its original market dominance. Mainly to NT. I mean even SQL Server on a Compaq system show better results that Oracle.
XP is primarily a spin-off of NT just faster, better and less bugs. We have all read and know. Linux will be hurt as it falls into the "Unix" server OS. It doesn't matter who pushes and markets it. Windows is gaining ground over the Unicies. That is why you have to be afraid. Unix is losing ground and I find it hilarious that you all insist that it is gaining.
What I find even funnier is that you all say Windows is bloated. Well my windows never took two to three minutes to start like Linux or Unix.
I am just merely preaching that not one home-end user will switch to anything but maybe Macintosh because everything else is infact inferior in many aspects... especially UI and development. That is the truth and it was all preached with the supposed brain I have to grow or whatever the hell you said Mr-developer-of-his-OS-and-Microsoft.

To sound like an idiot. I wouldn't consider someone who expresses their opinion about an Operating System a drone. Nor would I consider one who uses a particular Operating System a drone.
I think you are too judgemental because of your high opinion of Linux. I wouldn't call you a Linux Zealot though, I would call you a Linux Detriment.
See a Linux Zealot, doesn't Window bash. He knows the difference between his and that of his competition. Leaving it at that.
You are an individual who, yes may be smart enough to comprehend Linux but, haven't even contributed to it. Yet you bash, therefore making you a detriment to the Linux community. You care about the growth as long as someone else does it.
I have a very talented programming friend. He uses both Linux and Windows. However, he won't program in Windows, he refers Linux. However, he has never bashed Windows directly to anyone. A Linux Zealot in its true form. He knows the advantages between the two.
Now for my humble opinion.
You are wastng your breath. You better start making kernel mods quick. You better make a better Linux system. D-Day is coming. XP is going to fuck your little Open Source World up! I BETA test, and I jsut got the latest BETA. Holy Shit! And I thought W2K was stable after SP1. W2K is 95 compaired to this beast. It isn't as bloated anymore. Not like fucking Enlightment. Be afraid... I an personally guarentee that Linux is oging to have its world rocked upside down.

First off, what he said must have been intimidating enough for you to be an Anonymous Coward.
Second off. Yes any company would act in this fashion, especially if the benchmarker didn't have explicit permission.
Third. I find it ironic that SQL2000 came out the time Windows 2000 emerged. Is it because maybe it is optimized for W2K and SQL is optimized for NT4.0. After all, Microsoft knows with a new server based OS they are going to have to add the Server software to match.
Microsoft chronies aren't as dumb as you would like to think.

Why would I want to run a Linux program that was made by a few unpaid developers, when I can run a well organized program that is good.
I have seen Linux apps and they are small and simple. Clean cut and nice. They lack power. It would be the same as me saying screw Office2000 I wanna run StarOffice! Right sure! Let me laugh for a moment... Ha!
I am done.
I am sorry but I have to admit the Linux apps that I would run... frankly suck compaired to the library I already have. MS Money is onbe powerful program... especially the 2001 version.
So in this admin's humble opinion. This project is a waste of time and resources. The only people who might want to use this is hardcore Linux/Gamers so they don't have to duel boot. Then again usually these people have two machines so it doesn't really matter anyways.

Wht I don't understand is why IBM's attempted use of Linux in the market is receiving so much flak. They may not have a great track record with OS's but they are a huge corporation with money to back it up. More than Corel.
Now everyone freaks. Oh no, not IBM again. Granted they are better at hardware. It still doesn't change this kinda exposure all of you Linux fans have been hoping for.
One huge 6 story billboard of a penguin. The push is on yet you complain. Maybe this shows you how pathetic you linux fans can be. You want Linux to be a main-stream accepted standard OS but now you don't want IBM to intervene.
What? Do you want Linux to just filter to the surface? Won't happen. Linux isn't a bubble that will float to the top.
Every OS is a fucking brick. You just need to market it to bring it to the surface. For Linux this is god-sent. Embrace it. While it lasts... Once XP hits, be afraid.

Fact: Windows 2000 has 99.999 percent uptime - unless put in the hands of an idiot. Then again so is any OS out there.
Fact: Windows 2000 is unhackable in the box, out of the box, on the machine, in my backyard, in my trunk.
Fact: There is no fucking alpha version of Windows 2000. They abandon it because the Itanium was coming. So why not release a 64bit version of it on the next generation of Windows. Of course it won't be for the alpha chip. Too slow.
Fact: Dr. Pepper is a mighty fine drink

That Microsoft owes IBM anything. If IBM helped them great, but they never really asked for anything in return. If they did MS would be paying some form of royalties.
Personally I think IBM Linux will make about as much head way as Corel Linux did.
Speaking of Microsoft speaking out on it. Of course they will say somthing. Maybe not to IBM directly but none-the-less they will say somthing. Especially with XP getting closer and closer to release.

I am sorry but a business is not a person. NOt even compairable in a virtual manner. The main reason a business is around is to make money. Any other reason is bullshit. That is why businesses start, to grab a piece of the american dream.
Now in Microsofts case, they are a business trying to thrive because they have a vision. A vision that is unbeknownst to nearly everyone. Any competition that might stiffle and blemish this vision, this dream, is to be put out by any fair means necessary. That is exactly what they have done.
If a competeing business can't handle the competition then they should back down.
I am guessing you are American and as an American... Do you love all the rights and privlidges that come with? If so, then here is a comparable image.
Revolutionary War. Britian being the Americans competition. They had a bigger army and more supplies... We put up a fight and won.
War and Business are synonymous. If you don't have that mindset... you will lose. Microsoft isn't the Hannibal Lectur of the business world. They are just staying afloat. They have no reason to embrace and greet another business as if it were a neighbor. Unless that business can better their chances for dominance.
That is the business world.
If you see Microsoft as a murderer, fine. This is survival of the fittest. My money is on the team with the vision. The Microsoft Team. They have one damn good idea on how the NET should look, not how it is. I know where they are headed and frankly it is a great idea. I just wish that everyone could see this. Drop all their automatic-Microsoft-stereotypes and enjoy the ride.

It not only spreads the written word but it spreads all information. Where else can you get an Anarchists handbook, music, news, applications, food, gifts, etc. All can be done locally from your home. Technically if one were so inclined. They would never have to leave their home.
Nearly everyone is connected. Given time the whole of the world will access the internet as if they were using a phone. Revolutions take time.
We can't expect for it all to be done in a matter of a decade or more. It takes time. Look how long it took to receive our freedom from the Brit's.
This isn't somthing can can happen over night. There is no backlash! I am sure someone said this about the phone we know and use today. Wrong. The internet is somthing great and pure.
I don't mean morally pure. I mean it has done what it was intended to do and gone beyond that reaching further than planned. It is a beautiful thing. It is maybe the best thing this world could have asked for.

pisses me off. Why can't the whole world just get along. Why do they have to send a DDoS attack!? Is it funny? Seriously, I would like to know.
How much fun can rendering a service inoperable be? I mean would these kiddies like it if you did it to them? OR would they be all pissy?

When I meant track record with OSes. I never said OS/2 was bad. Infact it is great. It just wasn't marketed to well. That is what i meant. Sorry if i caused any amount of confusion.

are your homo-sexual tendancies coming out. I should let you know I am straight before your hopes get to high. I know it is hard being in your closet anonymous Coward but with time you will enjoy who you are and won't have to be so angry that youc an't be like all the other boys. You have to be the different one. But we need people like you so we can discriminate you and you can go have your Gay Marches outside DC and anjoy your Gay Day at Disney World. Just try not to be so angry. Just be yourself. We will accept you as you are. Even if it is homosexually.

Kinda contradictory "I have contributed to the OS that I use. In fact I have been an [MS] developer in the past." and "This is why i don't use [MS]products." Do you even know whay OS you use? Who ever heard of NT9? Which makes me doubt your proclaimed prolithic age and knowledge and "talent." (adjective in quotes is used to preserve the anonymity of another prefered word)
I know how my computer works and I use the OS that actually has stable drivers for the hardware I use. I will never in my time see a driver that is reasonably stable for a Santa Cruz.
How exactly does the whole MS process work? Since you seem to know oh so much about Microsoft.
As for nay pro wrestling approaches, I think between the two of us you have the better career with that load of shit you posted. My brain, NT9, OS contributions, transmissions? Damn, you make Hulk Hogan himself seem less worthy.
My whole point behind XP is this. Before NT everything was primarily Unix run. Servers that is. Now look at the market. Unix has lost half of its original market dominance. Mainly to NT. I mean even SQL Server on a Compaq system show better results that Oracle.
XP is primarily a spin-off of NT just faster, better and less bugs. We have all read and know. Linux will be hurt as it falls into the "Unix" server OS. It doesn't matter who pushes and markets it. Windows is gaining ground over the Unicies. That is why you have to be afraid. Unix is losing ground and I find it hilarious that you all insist that it is gaining.
What I find even funnier is that you all say Windows is bloated. Well my windows never took two to three minutes to start like Linux or Unix.
I am just merely preaching that not one home-end user will switch to anything but maybe Macintosh because everything else is infact inferior in many aspects... especially UI and development. That is the truth and it was all preached with the supposed brain I have to grow or whatever the hell you said Mr-developer-of-his-OS-and-Microsoft.

So how does it feel?
To sound like an idiot. I wouldn't consider someone who expresses their opinion about an Operating System a drone. Nor would I consider one who uses a particular Operating System a drone.
I think you are too judgemental because of your high opinion of Linux. I wouldn't call you a Linux Zealot though, I would call you a Linux Detriment.
See a Linux Zealot, doesn't Window bash. He knows the difference between his and that of his competition. Leaving it at that.
You are an individual who, yes may be smart enough to comprehend Linux but, haven't even contributed to it. Yet you bash, therefore making you a detriment to the Linux community. You care about the growth as long as someone else does it.
I have a very talented programming friend. He uses both Linux and Windows. However, he won't program in Windows, he refers Linux. However, he has never bashed Windows directly to anyone. A Linux Zealot in its true form. He knows the advantages between the two.
Now for my humble opinion.
You are wastng your breath. You better start making kernel mods quick. You better make a better Linux system. D-Day is coming. XP is going to fuck your little Open Source World up! I BETA test, and I jsut got the latest BETA. Holy Shit! And I thought W2K was stable after SP1. W2K is 95 compaired to this beast. It isn't as bloated anymore. Not like fucking Enlightment. Be afraid... I an personally guarentee that Linux is oging to have its world rocked upside down.

First off, what he said must have been intimidating enough for you to be an Anonymous Coward.
Second off. Yes any company would act in this fashion, especially if the benchmarker didn't have explicit permission.
Third. I find it ironic that SQL2000 came out the time Windows 2000 emerged. Is it because maybe it is optimized for W2K and SQL is optimized for NT4.0. After all, Microsoft knows with a new server based OS they are going to have to add the Server software to match.
Microsoft chronies aren't as dumb as you would like to think.

Why would I want to run a Linux program that was made by a few unpaid developers, when I can run a well organized program that is good.
I have seen Linux apps and they are small and simple. Clean cut and nice. They lack power. It would be the same as me saying screw Office2000 I wanna run StarOffice! Right sure! Let me laugh for a moment... Ha!
I am done.
I am sorry but I have to admit the Linux apps that I would run... frankly suck compaired to the library I already have. MS Money is onbe powerful program... especially the 2001 version.
So in this admin's humble opinion. This project is a waste of time and resources. The only people who might want to use this is hardcore Linux/Gamers so they don't have to duel boot. Then again usually these people have two machines so it doesn't really matter anyways.

Wht I don't understand is why IBM's attempted use of Linux in the market is receiving so much flak. They may not have a great track record with OS's but they are a huge corporation with money to back it up. More than Corel.
Now everyone freaks. Oh no, not IBM again. Granted they are better at hardware. It still doesn't change this kinda exposure all of you Linux fans have been hoping for.
One huge 6 story billboard of a penguin. The push is on yet you complain. Maybe this shows you how pathetic you linux fans can be. You want Linux to be a main-stream accepted standard OS but now you don't want IBM to intervene.
What? Do you want Linux to just filter to the surface? Won't happen. Linux isn't a bubble that will float to the top.
Every OS is a fucking brick. You just need to market it to bring it to the surface. For Linux this is god-sent. Embrace it. While it lasts... Once XP hits, be afraid.

Fact: Windows 2000 has 99.999 percent uptime - unless put in the hands of an idiot. Then again so is any OS out there.
Fact: Windows 2000 is unhackable in the box, out of the box, on the machine, in my backyard, in my trunk.
Fact: There is no fucking alpha version of Windows 2000. They abandon it because the Itanium was coming. So why not release a 64bit version of it on the next generation of Windows. Of course it won't be for the alpha chip. Too slow.
Fact: Dr. Pepper is a mighty fine drink

That Microsoft owes IBM anything. If IBM helped them great, but they never really asked for anything in return. If they did MS would be paying some form of royalties.
Personally I think IBM Linux will make about as much head way as Corel Linux did.
Speaking of Microsoft speaking out on it. Of course they will say somthing. Maybe not to IBM directly but none-the-less they will say somthing. Especially with XP getting closer and closer to release.

I am sorry but a business is not a person. NOt even compairable in a virtual manner. The main reason a business is around is to make money. Any other reason is bullshit. That is why businesses start, to grab a piece of the american dream.
Now in Microsofts case, they are a business trying to thrive because they have a vision. A vision that is unbeknownst to nearly everyone. Any competition that might stiffle and blemish this vision, this dream, is to be put out by any fair means necessary. That is exactly what they have done.
If a competeing business can't handle the competition then they should back down.
I am guessing you are American and as an American... Do you love all the rights and privlidges that come with? If so, then here is a comparable image.
Revolutionary War. Britian being the Americans competition. They had a bigger army and more supplies... We put up a fight and won.
War and Business are synonymous. If you don't have that mindset... you will lose. Microsoft isn't the Hannibal Lectur of the business world. They are just staying afloat. They have no reason to embrace and greet another business as if it were a neighbor. Unless that business can better their chances for dominance.
That is the business world.
If you see Microsoft as a murderer, fine. This is survival of the fittest. My money is on the team with the vision. The Microsoft Team. They have one damn good idea on how the NET should look, not how it is. I know where they are headed and frankly it is a great idea. I just wish that everyone could see this. Drop all their automatic-Microsoft-stereotypes and enjoy the ride.
