Now tell me what files you can download after your "membership fee " clears through your bank card or PayPal.
If you're implying that you get access to "special" files by paying for membership, not so. You can download anything as a free user, just have to type in a captcha and wait a minute -- the members get the same files, but faster.
However, if the police show up a few weeks later and subpoena the DVR they will have video of everyone in the coffee shop, library, etc. Look up on the ceiling
Unless you DO look up at the ceiling and hold your driver's license up to the camera, it will be pretty useless to ID you.
No need to "hack" anyone to get untraceable access.
Just take a laptop to a cafe with wifi. Or a public library, university, hotel, etc, etc. Not to mention the large number of businesses and homes with unsecured wifi by default.
Seems a perfectly reasonable response to me. HBGary tried to out members of Anonymous; exposing their private information. Anonymous returned the favour. In the arena of public opinion, Anonymous are ahead. HBGary were made fools of.
But to talk about "aggression", "destruction" is silly. Actually in BOTH CASES the only ones at risk of real harm are Anonymous. If members of Anonymous are actually tracked down, they would get chewed up by the legal system.
According to TFA "An international investigation into cyberactivists who attacked businesses hostile to WikiLeaks is likely to yield arrests of senior members of the group", so where does the submitter (or samzenpus) get "likely to" to from that to "is resulting in a ton of arrests" ?
Any arrests seem unlikely to me, seeing how hard it would be to prove Facebook posts were really made by the people in question, and that they were unlikely to have done more than hint at involvement. It could only be taken a clue, not evidence.
here are absolutely two sides to this. If you want to lock me up for not vaccinating my own kids, or otherwise penalize me, I can and will go elsewhere.
Problem is you aren't going anywhere, are you?
You are in the community, your kids are going to school and increasing everyone's risk of dying from a preventable disease because you believe someone you saw on Oprah instead of actual doctors.
Forget Faraday cages. Unless someone is locked down, they're allowed out in the yard for exercise.
Instead of trying to get every single phone, just jam them all. Surely the whiners who prevent that in theatres can't have any say in how a prison is run?
I'm just curious, who have you discovered giving out your personal information? You can skip the porn sites.
I use Sneakemail which gives me an unlimited number of alias emails. So I create one for every forum or site that requires an email confirmation. If I get spam, I know exactly who leaked it. I've actually had very few. spams though. Just started to get spam from opensubtitles.org, so I just deleted that address. I have very few porn sites that I register with, but but none of them have spammed me.
When was the last time you were allowed to look through and then pick the scratch off tickets you wanted from a spindle of tickets behind the counter.
RTFA. He tried that and it was no problem. I guess a lot of people like to choose their "lucky" numbers, so you normally do get to choose. And that's not even considering giving a kickback to the clerk.
Toronto statistician Mohan Srivastava also discovered a way the tickets could be decoded to predict a winner on the game "Tic Tac Toe" nearly three years ago.
Srivastava would look at the numbers on the ticket, and if a sequence of numbers was lined up in tic-tac-toe fashion and were not repeated anywhere else on the ticket, it was likely a winner.
"If someone explained the trick to you, I think, I actually know, a child could do it," Srivastava said.
He contacted the OLG about the trend, and while the corporation recalled unsold tickets of the game, it never went public with the information.
- historically, nobody heard about.me domains being seized (not that it cannot happen in the future)...
Historically, no one has heard of.me domains being used for for anything except vanity sites. If they had Wikileaks.me and let it stand in spite of pressure, say, that would be something,. But no one cares about the sites that are there now.
Between.me and {.org,.net,.com} - excluding others - who do you trust better?
Why "exclude others"? There are hundreds of TLDs, I would leave tiny countries like.me way down if I was choosing one.
- historically, nobody heard about.me domains being seized
It's not that the Montenegro authorities have resisted seizures, its that there hasn't been anything except vanity and novelty domains there. If Wikileaks had been Wikileaks.me, say and Montenegro had stood up for them, that would mean something So far they just haven't been challenged that I know of.
Why would you trust Montenegro to stand up for your rights? All these tiny nations that have turned over their TLD to some company that promotes them due to some accidental similarity with an English word have not the slightest interest in the people who use the domains. They could cancel them all tomorrow, give them to someone else, or if the US leant on them.
I used to think that.com was boring but safe from arbitrary interruption; that's not true now. I don't do anything that's likely to annoy the US govt, but if I did I'd look for a country that was standing behind its TLD, not whoring it out.
The moment of enlightenment that these poor people experience when they finally understand that they have thrown their lives away on a job so mechanical and worthless -- that has to be a soul-crushing.
Most of the world works in such jobs. Having a fulfilling job that earns you respect is an ideal that few attain. And I can think of many, many worse jobs than toll collector.
It doesn't mean that non-current versions are safe, just that they didn't bother to test them. So just assume it's every version. Or if you don't use IE, no version.
"A three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit weighed in Wednesday [that's yesterday]." So how is this story "at least a year old"? RTFA!
RTFA?

Yeah, sure. And after they have that running and ubiquitous, a few years later they require that "random" number be registered with your driver's license ID on a central server.
The government (almost every government) is bitterly regretting that they ever let IP numbers be anonymous; they won't let something like this get past them.Besides, cars are a multinational business. If not the US then plenty of other countries will demand that fixed IDs be part of the system. So it will be built in and ready to be switched on when they think they can get away with it even if it isn't initially.
eating a chicken burger at KFC every Friday was more important to me than going to the laundry mat as that was my only good meal every week. I'm glad your parents could afford to pay your way though school so you would not be an "idiot" as well.
A few pinches of detergent in a bucket of water, soak for an hour, rub them a bit, especially any stains, rinse, hang up on a line. I did that for years when I was backpacking. Cost: 5 minutes of time and about $1 a year in detergent at most. Never used a laundromat. After I settle down in a place, I buy a used washing machine, pay for themselves in month if your alternative is a laundromat, and you can sell them for what you bought it for when you leave.

Of course they're investigating, but I haven't heard of anyone being ARRESTED. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

everyone referring "mp3 players" as iPods
Or everyone referring to WMAs and AACs as MP3s. Particularly mystifying when they had DRM -- people asking "Why can't I copy this MP3?"

Correct. That's how it works everywhere, except the USA.

If it's actually your job to know this, you had better not be depending on Commander Taco to keep you informed.
