mmmm damn good book. neal stephenson ftw.

damn. thanks dude. very awesome. i thought i was old @ 26, but now i feel very, very young. also: my oldest update is interplay's 10th anniversary cd set (has wasteland on it, games from 1983 to 1993) that i backed up on .iso and is currently sitting in a old ATA133 hd, which in turn, is sitting on my bookcase, next to my william gibson collection.

linux dual boots don't count

It comes in MMO form.

And the zombie Nazi's are all "braaaaaainssss".

Zing! Your excessive use of big words along with a obligatory astronomy reference clearly shows that your sense of humour is fundamentally superior.

nice link icebike! is it just me, or is there a irresistible urge to put "your mom" in "Examples of objects between 20 km and 1 km in radius" list and see if anyone notices?

it repeatedly mentioned "revision3's website" so i would assume http://revision3.com/ (sorry don't know how to do fancy dancy quotes with slashdots forum). and this was not a legal ddos attack (if that exists) from mediadefender. and they were sending "requests that that crippled the company came from machines controlled by MediaDefender, which is owned by publicly traded ArtistDirect Inc., a promoter of independent bands." so that's a straightup illegal ddos attack by the company funded by the mpaa. not sure how much more clear i can get

someone mod parent up, because this is the exact point i've been trying to say. grah. wish i had points.

the ddos attacks aren't making them lose. any. money. NONE. prove that they are. because im 99% sure they're not. sooooooooooo if they're not losing money, they're not laying anyone off, then what's the deal? It's like rosa parks, it's like a bunch of people coming in and "sitting" on their servers. Sucks for them! Sympathy = 0%

pfft. retarded. they're NOT being violent according to any of these definitions. the companies aren't losing business, they aren't losing anything. screw the mpaa. they've been shown to ddos torrent sites, spam them, use quasi legal methods via companies like mediadefender. so fuck them, i FULLY SUPPORT O:P

we need a new term then! so, let's see.... "terminator astroturfing", ala monsanto style?

"insane" difficulty bots, i would imagine.

The only difference between people using the problems and those completely ignoring the problem is just how proactive they are with it. But both groups don't see a problem with it. See what i mean?
