While I'm certainly not a Palin supporter, it needs to be pointed out that her team just tries to earn future votes by playing a target audience, mathematically, to gain a majority. I'm saying this because it seems most of the people who enjoy the train wreck and see the obvious, don't see the obvious when it comes to the target audience they are part of. You vote too. You are played by guys talking about Change and Yes we can! The more you like what they are saying, the more suspicious you should be. Remember they are trying to gain a majority by mathematical strategy. If you now think "What?! Never, that guy is so wrong!" and start to get angry by these "accusations", know that this is exactly what the other side's target audience is thinking when you criticize their guys. These guys, each side, people shouldn't fight for them anyway. Forget what they are saying for a moment, and you'll see they play the same game. Just different lizards, picking different roads to success. Where they will fight the same war against "terrorists" and their civilians. As long as people keep pointing at the other lizard while electing the other, nothing will change.

Thanks for the reply. And your correct, there is no such thing as a legal ddos attack.

Again, thanks for the clarification.

Mind clarifying WHAT caused the shut down? Was it illegal tactics, which was the original posters point? You know, was the site ddos'd by the MMPA?

You link does not back up the original post in any way or form. We are talking about ILLEGAL tactics here. Stay on topic.

Bull shit. You are stopping people from making a living. That is harm caused.

Lets add Sweeden to another nation that considers ddos attacks illegal.

Hackers Given A Message: DoS is a Crime

To bad your of the minority opinion and most law makers agree with my opinion.

Denial-of-service attacks and the law

citation needed. And please. Not some blog by a torrent hoster that he got ddosed. Fuck, he could have been dossed by his competition.

Ok, you take your toys and go home. You offered nothing to the conversation.

Definitions of violence on the Web:

• an act of aggression (as one against a person who resists); "he may accomplish by craft in the long run what he cannot do by force and violence in the short one"

• ferocity: the property of being wild or turbulent; "the storm's violence"

• a turbulent state resulting in injuries and destruction etc. wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

• Violence is the expression of physical or verbal force against self or other, compelling action against one's will on pain of being hurt.

• Worldwide, violence is used as a tool of manipulation and also is an area of concern for law and culture which take attempts to suppress and stop it. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence

Hmmm, I see more than one example in these definactions of violence not being physical. Verbal assault being one. I wonder what you consider these ddos attacks other then another form of verbal assault?

Or do you have a different dictionary then what I have?

I fail to see the point of your argument. I pointed out that ddos attacks cause business's lose money/profit. Servers are a business tool, just like a fax and a phone. You lose the ability to use it, you lose the ability to conduct business.

Your post, if you want to call it that. Had nothing to do with the loss of income. Your point is about free merchandise. Guess what, I'm not giving away free merchandise with my server. Your friendly ddos attack took my server off line. I'm losing money, and I have to lay people off because of it. Thank you for your non violent temper tantrum.

Your post shows your just a child that can't play by the rules. If you can't have something for free, you are going to throw your little temper tantrum. Guess what child, the grown ups have ruled. In multiple countries to boot. Your not getting your toys for free. Get off your fucking ass, get a job. And pay for your toys like the rest of the adults do., Otherwise, go without or go to jail. Because thats exactly where you belong. In jail for your attacking someone else's property with your DDOS attack.

Your business place gets DoS/DDoS to the point they can not conduct business. Loss of business means loss of income to pay your salary if you work for them. Until the DoS/DDoS attack ends, your out of work.

You now have no income to feed your family. Non violent enough for you?

Listing to you two. I get the feeling there should be no punishment for crime.

Or is it only there should be no punishment for laws you disagree with?

And if it happened to YOU because someone doesn't agree with your opinion. No matter what the topic? Is it still ok?

lol, I deserved that. You are quite correct that some countries do chop off your hand for theft.

When was jail ever reserved just for.

What time in history. Citation required to prove that point.

Seriously. Theft has ALWAYS been jail time.
