Nothing has changed. For the average bear, ideas are still farts in the wind.
This just demonstrates that justice isn't the same for all of us. If you can afford a bunch of attorneys and a long procedure, you can buy your own rules.
Another important feature those services have is that since they comply with the government monitoring policies, they don't suffer "sudden, unexplainable cuts", like other services.
"why is it pharmaceutical companies essentially hold people's health at ransom?"
First, not all of them do that. Second, for the ones that do that, they do it because they can, and have no ethics. What I'm saying is that they *shouldn't* do that.
"They are told *by science people* to pay, or die"
I don't really understand your point here. You think it's ok to do that? Or are you agreeing in that they are doing bad things? If so, do you wow them too?
"Military science does this, why can't we?"
You seem to imply that military science is a paramount of ethical conduct. Are you able to validate that argument with some evidence, or are you just talking out loud?
The ultimate purpose of all engineering/scientific/geeky endeavors is making the world a better place. We, as science people *should* have strong ethics.
Using technical knowledge this way (this is, purely for personal gain, at the expense of others) makes all of us (computer people) look bad.. It hinders human advancement more difficult (we have to spend resources and time combating this net instead of inventing new, useful stuff).
Instead of spending time trying to disarm the worm, do a regular investigation (i.e. simulate that you are someone willing to pay to use the botnet) and get the name of one of the builders. Trying to attack the botnet itself is a waste of time and resources.
It's humiliating that the laws allow this kind of shit.
The desperation bit ( I assume ) comes from the fact that a company whose business plan is ( allegedly ) making money by selling software is now making some money from litigations, but not from selling stuff.
Like the knight with no arms telling King Arthur "I'll bite you to death!" in the Knights of the Round Table.

Hahaha your whitespace-encoded message at the end took me a while to decode.
Very funny!

Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?
I stand corrected. Thanks, noble sir.

It isn't "cool" or "geek".

And you are wowing them. WTF is wrong with you.
... Is always the people, not the technology.

There is, but he's posting on Slashdot and not paying attention to the bridge at all.

The second is worse. And someone who kills my family in front of me and then burns me alive is worse than that. Your point?
The only opinion I got from LulzSec was that they were all morons.
To me, *your* comment is irrelevant and stupid. Go hide somewhere.
Benevolent my ass.
I hope they get arrested and never get to touch a keyboard again.
A group of gansters enters a shop, beats the person in charge with a baseball, and leaves. The guy goes to the hospital.
And you want me to be angry at the manager because he didn't open the shop the next day. What is wrong with you?
Their point is that they are dickheads.
Dear Sony: I already control my hands with the mighty power of thought.
I want to control computers with that power now.
The first 6 days are for preparation.
The seventh day, you break into the house of someone with the degree you want and steal it.
Your precious time will be safe this way. Unless you get caught. But that would mean that you didn't prepare well.
Let me check...
Yup, I'm also in FF5. I didn't know! xD
If you count farmville you can't say that women are ignored.
That's not hate.
Hate is "I hope their children die suffering before their eyes!!".
You are too soft.
I can do that if I program on isolation, without using others' work, and without external libs.
That's precisely the opposite of my way of working.
