OK, the guy's being a DB, but you have to admit there's a grain of truth: nihilists: that could be one way to describe groups like lulzsec, who aren't into transparency as a cause but would rather watch the world burn for the lulz. anarchists: I don't see this one per se, but the govt described bradley manning as an anarchist so that's why they think that. activists: for sure, groups like anonymous are activists. manning too. snowden too. they are motivated by effecting change in the system. Lulzsec: I'm not sure to what degree Lulzsec would participate themselves based on the FBI busts, but I'm sure there would be some offshoot phoenix "rise from the ashes" that would throw their hats in the ring. anonymous: i think this one is a given. neckbeards: kind of a stereotype, not suprised he through that out.
tldr: I think he's more right than wrong, both to expect attempts at reprisals and in describing many of the groups that will attempt it. I would add foreign nations / hostile groups (not activists, but interested in harming USA interests). It's the perfect time to attack under the guise of these other groups.

guilty guilty guilty. I'm posting a shill question asking if the device comes in a pineapple, so I can post a self serving response and mod it up for greater visibility. Brought to you by Dole Pineapples!
i said below - adverts are just one option. you can also show your own images (plugs for your own products, lolcats, whatever, or have them show generic images like flowers. i agree about potential for breaking - sounds like a cat and mouse game where they keep refining their photo algorithms.
no, you can choose among three options: 1) they show ads, 2) you show your own photos (which could be ads for your producs, lolcats, or whatever, 3) they show generic photos, flowers in this case. so some of the criticisms on this thread are valid, but the adversing one isn't an issue.
solution? go back to a time tested techniques -- minimum security, transportation to elsewhere. eg an island or somethign? one of those aleutian islands in alaska? that would be pretty sweet. maybe the prisoners could run it with their own local gov't and services and such? sounds pretty good to me...
i htink this is a chance for rehabilitation rather than incarceration, you know? the us justice system is too punitive in my book. why not have all these poeple contribute to society by doing programs for inner city youth or something?

yeah but samz writes better headlines than souls.
He was from the depression. From his perspective, you should pick up the farthings AND the tuppence! Also, he was a numismatist.
at least they don't work on Shabbas.
(and, shut the fuck up, donnie)
beating a dead horse, they don't bowl on shabbas. this isn't nam! there are rules!

amen!
My grandfather used to call it "Tripping over nickels to pinch pennies."
my GREAT grandfather used to say, don't trip over the farthings to pick up the tuppence!

Wtf AC?? It's just a pineapple pun. Just chillax, you make me feel bad.
IIf this gets used on a single interesting site or a large number of uninteresting sites (e.g. wordpress or phpBB)
Ooooh BURNNN on Wordpress!
so, what's the dealio? is the whole thing packed into a real pinapple, or what?
ooooh I first read the headline "navy version of ENCARTA..." I was thinking wow, why don't they just use wikipedia?
i'm not surprised their site would fail, but the captcha itself doesn't fail when put on other sites.

don't you think they fixed it? it sounds trivial to fix.
i've been using minteye on my site. it's a visual captcha, works pretty well. you move a slider back and forth to unscramble an image.
it's not related to taxes. I pay no taxes due to various machinations. does that mean I'm not a US citizen? of course not.
ask people in the bay area and they'll tell you that apple is very much an american company and an awesome place to work.
whaa? account is like a year old so kma.
said the AC...
wouldn't it be funny if somebody used TOR to surf theonions.com? you know, because of the onion and all? that would be pretty funny in my book.
