And if they had written a letter to the editor to a nationwide newspaper? Would that have create a "paper community" if ever one of the readers would decide to help along?
How would haxoring make things worse for the targeted businesses? PanIp would first need to show that their victims are somehow involved with the haxoring and ddosing. Which they are not, the acts would be done by independant third parties. And the businesses could probably even countersue for libel (or is that slander?) at those groundless accusations.
This is a battle which can be fought on many fronts. Remember the etoy vs etoys story? Etoys was not brought down in court (where they prevailed, if I remember correctly), but rather in the marketplace, by a massive consumer action (i.e. a boycott). Thus we can see that "non-standard" techniques can lead to a positive outcome and should not be dismissed too quickly.
If effect, passing through something like a planet would probably take half its mass and at least some of its velocity as the energy is expended.
If it left some matter behind, wouldn't that matter expand once it turned "normal"? And wouldn't said "materialization" of 500kg of ordinary matter in a tiny spot actually cause more damage as the passage itself?
he runs his own domain, but the dumbass has a HOTMAIL account! what a dork
Probably not his main mailbox, but just a drop box for all the "we told you so -- if you sleep with the devil don't complain when you get raped" mails. He would be foolish to put his real business e-mail address under such a whiny piece...
I didn't think they'd have drivers for the kitchen sink yet. Wow, Linux sure is advancing!
The "kitchen sink" driver has been included with most Linux distros almost since day one. In case you don't know where to look for it, it's called emacs...
you could always change it to forward all emails from their domain to the administrative address for their domain. Make them read their own spam =)
This helps. I had to do this last year when Bellsouth just wouldn't kick a joe-jobbing spammer that forged mails in my name. Eventually, I forwarded all the bounces to them (tech support, management, sales,... and in the end even customers...).
How long until we get a virus that goes through the user's mail archive, and searches messages that look like "please install this update on your workstation" messages from the local sysadmin. The replace the attachment with itself, and send it out, with From and everything else intact to people in the address book who work in the same company (i.e. same domain)
Such a virus is bound to make a killing: everybody knows the name and writing style of the sysadmin, and both will match. Of course, we still need a more traditional boilerplate in order to jump company boundaries... (or just locate messages saying "in our company, tech support recommends this small utility for such and such purpose, please try it out").
In short: rather than coming with its own boilerplate message, the virus would go through the user's archive to find suitable real messages, and use those as templates for its mischievous purpose... Spotting suitable templates should not be overly hard: look for mails with attached zips, and containing a couple of suitable keywords such as "install", "update", "utility", "fun", "game", "screensaver",...
1) Conventional traffic lights have to be replaced once a year to make sure they are working, whether they have died or not. LED based traffic lights last up to 10 years.
If you look closely, you'll notice that the red lights usually have two bulbs. That way, if one fails, there's still the other one, no need to "pre-emptively" replace bulbs.
Green and yellow have only one bulb, but the potential of damage when these fail is much less (... and the cynical could argue that failure of yellow is actually good for the city finances)

You are allowed to name the beast: Microsoft.

So, I'd say "First Amendment" or someheapofshit.
But that's not what you tell your boss. You do need some time to read Slashdot too, after all...

Launch it early. Launch it often. Launch it in the background. Launch it in a loop. Vary the URL (after the GET).
And with a little bit of luck, they pay for their bandwidth, and won't have any money left for their lawsuits...
Not necessarily. It could also be a lie...

Time warp machines don't exist, and neither do Linux users willingly buying MSFT shares... ;-)
Even if that means buying Micro$oft shares, if you go that far back... Hell, sometimes you have to put your financial interest above your ethics...
That was the goal ;-)
Sysadmin's everywhere will curse your name
No, they'll curse Outlook, the program which allowed this to happen in the first place...
and spit upon your grave....
Well, for that, Bill Gates' hitpersons will have to get me first ;-)
