  1. Re:Mitnick is a script kiddie on Kevin Mitnick Helping Secure Presidential Elections In Ecuador · · Score: 1

    Didn't he get the tools for that from Hack-Tic?

  2. Uncomfortably similar? on Andrew Auernheimer Case Uncomfortably Similar To Aaron Swartz Case · · Score: 2

    Andrew Auernheimer, aka 'weev', former president of the trolling group GNAA, was not doing this out of some kind of altruism. He did not do this to point out the vulnerability. By his own admittance, "[he] did this because [he] despised people [he] think[s] are unjustly wealthy and wanted to embarass them."

    If you think Auernheimer is anything like Aaron Swartz, think again.

    So visiting a Microsoft conference now automatically makes you a shill? I can see why you would post this as AC.

    Google "The Pentagon Papers".

    What happens when governments decide it's time to tamper with or block GPS signals?

  6. Re:People get brave on Australia Attorney General Proposes New Laws To Stop Twitter Trolls · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Trolling is in the eye of the beholder. I'm sure when Chanology was going on, Scientology would have LOVED a law like this.

    What you're saying is "I don't need it, so nobody needs it". I hope you know how stupid that sounds.

  8. Re:Great plan on Hackers Dump Millions of Records From Banks, Politicians · · Score: 1

    If kids from Anonymous have the info, you can be sure others were there before them. Anonymous are far from rocket scientists.

    As such, it doesn't really matter whether they release this information or not. The information is compromised and should be considered unsafe.

  9. Re:A new version of Super Mario Bros 2? on Review: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Illustrates Nintendo's Greatest Problem · · Score: 2

    This isn't New "Super Mario Bros 2", this is "New Super Mario Bros" 2. A sequel to "New Super Mario Bros" released on the NDS a few years back.

  10. Re:Ron Paul on Where the Candidates Stand On Net Neutrality · · Score: 2

    Ron Paul wants "Internet Freedom", A.K.A. the right for corporations to do whatever the fuck they want on the internet.

    Hardware buttons. Enough said.

    Uhrm, yes. What the fuck is this doing in this thread?

    we'll all skip that OS update
    You know you won't.

  14. Re:Games? on Nintendo 3DS XL Is Out Now · · Score: 1

    It is called 3D because it's (for the most part) a 3D Mario game (like Super Mario Galaxy, Mario 64, etc) and not a 2D Mario game (like New Super Mario Bros, the classic Mario games, ...). The raccoon suit is from SMB3 indeed, but apart from that it doesn't borrow that much elements that are exclusive to SMB3.

  15. Re:uh... only if you run it on JavaScript Botnet Sheds Light On Criminal Activity · · Score: 1

    I think it is safe to say (read: pull out of my ass) that 99% of all people surfing the web do so with Javascript enabled, all the time.

    I am one of them. And I will keep on doing so. Your scaremongering isn't going to trick me into installing NoScript.

    Burden of proof lies with the person making the statement, Anonymous Coward.

    And her buying him breakfast afterwards. Not exactly nonconsensual either, I'd say.

  18. Re:Looks like The Jester? on The Pirate Bay Returns, Anonymous Hater Takes Credit For DDoS · · Score: 1

    Tango Down is hardly attributable to The Jester. Many anons use this phrase.

    Oracle is doing Microsoft's bidding? I'm having a hard time believing that.

    Why exactly?

  22. Re:Attacking the soul of France... on French President Proposes Jail For Terrorist Website Visitors · · Score: 1

    You missed the part where it is not a tenet of their religion.

    But even then, wearing masks in school was prohibited long before the influx of Muslims. There is nothing that states that they can't be Muslim, only that the rules that apply to others also apply to them. Anything else would be positive discrimination and thus discrimination just as well.

    And if you're an American, you might want to look into why you have the Establishment Clause.

  23. Re:Attacking the soul of France... on French President Proposes Jail For Terrorist Website Visitors · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm guessing you are referring to the banning of burkas in France, which is not so much a restriction of the rights of a Muslim than it is an end to the positive discrimination of Muslims -- it was already illegal for everyone to walk around masked.

    We had the same thing in Belgium, where pupils have never been allowed to wear hats, caps, etc. in class. So to treat everyone equally, neither can Muslims. Which then, according to them, infringes on their right of religious freedom. Which is ridiculous, of course.

    If you were referring to anything else, ignore my comment.

    If they went to Windows 7, can you really say they were alienated?

  25. Re:DDoS'ing is comparable to a mafia hit on Anonymous Supporters Tricked Into Installing Trojan · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The only purpose of a DDoS is to prevent somebody from being able to speak? Seriously? As far as I can tell they serve mostly a symbolic meaning. DDoS'ing visa.com will not silence Visa. DDoS'ing the site of Interpol will do nothing that hinders the working of Interpol in any way. Or do you actually believe that shutting down the Vatican website will mute the Vatican? No, I didn't think so either. But it makes for a great strawman argument, doesn't it?

    Of course, DDoS *could* be used to silence someone who's only way of speaking out is through a narrow band on the Internet. And it probably is, too. But not in these cases.
