what? You mean if everyone is not an expert in every knowledgable field of expertise, they deserve to be ripped off?

Thats the attitude everyone takes in law and business, but computers forgettaboutit

You tell people they are dumb enough to be hacked, and they deserved having their lives ruined, and their monies stolen, they go nuts. "Deserve to be a victim", only works if your fighting against the law, celebrities, bankers, or other capitalists or state authority.

the police. They don't have to work as hard, when if they can't catch the real perpetrator, just framing someone else without money to spent on lawyers.

last I checked, they keep finding and arresting "kingpins" of Anonymous like its some sort of hierarchal organization, and not just a common banner for many diffrent losely knit groups with no real relation to eachother, except mabey a shared culture. After a suposed "kingpin" was arrested, they'd hack something else, fucking hillarious. We, in America, like to think all our foes in

Thats all they ever were, ever. Except for a handful that figured how how to use sql-injection scripts. Anonymous where never skilled hackers, ever. Unlike other "hacker" groups, that kept to themselves, are very quiet, dangerous, and under-reported, the only thing ever "special" about Anonymous is that the news gave them lots of coverage as "hackers on steroids", and hyped them up, far beyond their skills. The more the news media created fear and panic, the more people joined Anonymous to create fear and panic. So what they lacked in skill, they made up in numbers. When they started doing moralfagging, they picked up more talented people intrested in moralfagging.

They were never an elite group of hackers. Never.

Why are you leaning on them? It sounds like you're mad that they are not your personal army. Why should they be? Who are you? I mean you could always join them, its not like they have membership requirements, or set membership. You could try posting your requests anonymously, as they do. Or mabey you think you should be taken seriously because you crafted a reputation for yourself, built on what exactly?

Then fucking pirate it, and even if you don't watch it, help seed it. Fuck Sony, and Fuck NK

Fucking do it.

Downloading it on torrent is a good way not to support either Sony or North Korea. In fact, torrenting this movie gives a big "fuck you", not only to sony, but NK.

Similar in scale to china's "great firewall", is the "PRiSM", the NSA's mass surviallence program, and counter-intellegence programs both public and private, to keep content favorable to the US government and member corporations, as well as harrass the fuck out of dissidents, as well as impose draconian copyright enforcement world wide.

The only diffrence between countries that censor the internet, and those who don't, is the ability or inability to do internet-wide intellegence/counter-intellegence operations.

I think its time to lay some fiber in cuba, and if the thaw is real, and has any perminance, run some undersea fiber between florida and cuba. If anything, that will help add perminance to the thaw.

Was he one of the 53 "political prisoners" released from jail right after the US opened their embassy? Do you even know his name?

No, its a change of policy. We screamed for years about trying to get the Cuban government to change its policy to a more social libertarian one, and they finally start making moves in the direction, and we call them crazy. No sir. This is a step in the right direction. No need for hostilities.

OK, a small minority was done by a bunch of by the brits.

changes nothing

It just so happened, that just as the "piracy" debate was gaining traction, so was the cartoonized image of a "pirate" depicted in media in the "pirates vs ninjas", a send up over two hilariously carcatured media stereotypes about brigands from the past of two seperate civilizations. Both were seen as virtuous, and the "pirate" gained a fun, safe positive conotation.

its basicly a tax, mostly on the poor, and anyone who can't fight the tickets in court. Its a tax without raising taxes, what the cities should do.

before you insert race on this, know that red light cameras are basicly a tax that hits the city's poorest residents the hardest. Cops don't write nearly as many tickets as red light cameras, and your argument is bunk. Your basicly trying to use a race paradigm to prop up what is a broken law, that if anything, hurts the poor the most. The problem is that these things issue tickets with impunity knowing that even if they are wrong, most people can't afford to fight the ticket, so they win by default. Its another excuse to put cameras in public, controlled by the police.

The politically privledged class of the lawyer, of which all rules are bent to revolve around him. There is not "rule of law", rather "law is only meant to protect the lawyers", to include those in office. Everyone elses political status stems from how usefully we are to this lawyer aristocracy.

as a libertarian socialist, I am not happy with liberals using socialist talking points to defend capitalism.
