Anonymous's only relevance was Fox News dubbing them "Hackers On Steroids"

They were known for fucking with people on facebook when facebook had shit security and people picked weak passwords and they'd password guesss or reset passwords.

Then they declared "war" on many people almost all of which are still here. I was supprised Chanology lasted as long as it did.

The Anonymous phenomena only lasted because of the hype that generated intrest, and more people joining in with Low Orbit Ion Cannons.

There was also the HB-GARY fiasco. They got lucky, and that a contractor that existed to milk the federal government got pwned because their security practices are terribad.

yeah, I think you are.

I fear the day when someone can litterally force their ideas of what they think "considerate" should be at the cost of public safety.

Personally, I think this man needs an ass-whoppin.

Or alternatively: "Terrorist Disables Mobile Phones On Chicago Bus" Fuck this guy. Mabey some people needed to use the phone. Mabey Doctors, Firefighters, First Responders need to take calls. Mabey someone's wife might be pregnant, or had a kid that got hurt in the hospital. It also screws with people quietly surfing the web, and those not on the bus.

It certainly does. If you are writing software as a complete non-profit, than liberal licensing is fine.

However, if you are trying to make money, not copylefting is suicide. If you spend money on software you use in production, simply giving it away for free means the competition can use it. Now, lets say its a liberal license. They can just write small amounts of proprietary code, and sell something you do not have. If its copyleft, they have to re-share that code, so they can't take any advantages over you. You still have the advantage as the company who knows the product best.

At the same time, few of these programs get as much paid work. Most companies prefer Linux, and thats because it gets most of the funding. If anything, GNU and Linux have won out for this reason. The only time people use FreeBSD is for people who need a better networking stack than linux currently offers, such as Netflix.

Facebook, however, instead of moving to FreeBSD is offering a large bounty for anyone who can write an improved Linux networking stack to match FreeBSD. Instead of moving to FreeBSD.

And by "current" you mean since they invented the phrase "intellectual property" in the 1970s.

This is a bit of weasel words. Its like saying "NAMBLA supports party XYZ", which the often support left-wing causes under the mistaken belief that other 'sexual minorities' would support them.

The fact that Scientology doesn't like a mental health bill doesn't mean that everyone opposed is supporting scientology. This tactic is called "weasel words", to paint a bad picture of the Bill's critics.

The bill itself? It allows arbitrary dentenion. The potential for abuse is huge. Already a tactic used by the police against demostrators is 'catch and release', arbitrary dention to get someone off the streets, and then release them without charge. Its a form of harrassment.

If someone is realisticly a danger to themselves or others, there are already frameworks to arrest them, however they all have all kinds of legal protections.

This is nothing more than soviet style abuse of metal health.

next we'll have genre fluid, such as crossover thrash.

Its "offtopic". thats why. How she was born has nothing to do with unethical activity. Its a personal attack on a very hotbutton topic which will do nothing but legitimize her.

scam artist or not, I'd request you not misgender her. I'd rather not give this type the high ground on this issue. You'll also confuse the issue and drum up sympathy for people who will defend her for being trans*.

regardless of which, supporting a scam artist is not helping your cause and will only serve to de-legitimize it.

Or mabey the body size shaming, ableism about mental health, and even classist attacks on the typical software engineer through the "neckbeard" stereotype don't help much. 10-15 years ago, this would most likely include some underhanded homophobic attack(i.e. 'question' their sexuality), and 5 years ago, some form of genderphobia would also be present.

Why did you pick the computer world to launch a career in journalism? You get around $3k a month from hapless dupes with a case of the feels, any tips for setting this up? What is your actual technical experiance with computers? On a scale from one to ten, how much of a sucker is the average person reading your 'journalism'?

You see, thats the thing with stuff like this is:

They don't

There is no intent for uniform of equal enforcement. It simply allows them to arrest who they want. Lets say two derps get into an argument on forums, about some politically relivant topic and it gets heated and words are exchanged that shouldn't have been. They can now pick and choose which one of them gets arrested, and who gets prosecuted.

Its because 'proggressive values' are a smoke screen. The US doesn't give a damn about proggressive values, and in fact most American leaders hate proggressive values. The last 30 years of US politics have been backwards religeous fearmongering, war mongering, the reliegious decay of society, and stopping 'liberal' degenrates from social progress.

The US values blind loyalty, obedience, religeon, and capitalism. It is the reason we are allied with Saudi Arabia. Its why we supported the mujadeen in the 1980s, and continue to support jihadis about as often as we fight them.

Its the reason we support replacing the pacifist liberal population in europe with a more relegious dogmatic population that has 6 children per women and eager to see them die in a conflict, and as well as support the white fascist motherfuckers who'd do the same.

Proggressive values are a smoke screen. Nothing more.

from your consumption habbits they are able to piece together other bits of information such as sexual orientation, political leanings, perhaps hidden biases. What if you are having an affair. mistress shows up? Who's that next to you, did you happen to stand next to a future criminal/terrorist in a picture? You can make black mail out of anything.

Linux might have some slight incompatiblity with an ever shrinking list of now obscure hardware. But when it works, it works. There is nothing this fucked up about linux drives. At worst, a few of them simply don't have the features we'd like, but nothing catastrophic.
