Yes! Thank you, I won't shed a single tear, but instead hope that they're shut down for a lot longer than they expect. Fuck Sony in their stupid asses. Yes, Rootkit, prosecution of George Hotz and countless other fuckups remind me that Sony is just getting what they deserve.

Yeah, I hadn't read the source article until today. I chuckled a bit when they mentioned the services they offer that could help mitigate this threat.

I'm sure several companies that have monitoring, pen-testing and other paid services are spooging their pants right about now. I'm sure that the story is legitimate, they may not be exaggerating, just letting their readers know that for a price, they're here to help :)

Wow,

This is great, if my coworkers weren't already middle aged technophobes who need help using copy and paste, I would set something like this up. It's probably good they don't know enough to be dangerous.

I loved reading the comment that whats-his-face was going to "wipe out" twitter and that he didn't care what the international community thought-- he was just asking to get circumvented. Oh well, hopefully we don't see a complete drop in Internet communications for the whole country, like we did in '11-'12. With any luck we'll get less oppressive/corrupt regime's when they learn they can't censor the Internet as well as they thought they could.

Hehe rub things out in OneNote, so you can paste porn in there too?

You'd think that Comcast would segment the public wifi traffic from your LAN traffic. You know, that would be the smart thing to do...

Do they do this? I have no idea. I got tired of reavering my neighbors and gave in to paying for Comcrap late last year. Fortunately I'm in such a remote location, I doubt they'll ever enable this feature in a town with two stop signs and a grave yard.

I was hoping someone would go there with the whole Mission Accomplished. I was actually hoping for a shop of Edward on the aircraft carrier, then I remembered this isn't reddit.

In the coming years gamers won't have a reputation for being fat, instead they will all be athletic mounds of muscle after chasing down enemy soldiers and dodging alien laser fire.

I, for one am a long time Apple computer hater. I don't understand their appeal, or the Apple Tax(tm) and would never pay money for one of their laptops or desktops. That being said, I fucking love their mobile hardware. I got an iPhone 3Gs shortly after they were released and got all the non-S versions on launch day since. I bought an iPad 1 shortly before the 2 came out, not being familiar with Apple's release schedule... kicking myself a bit, I still really enjoyed the light form factor for doing webby stuff from bed or the couch. Now that my iPad 1 is showing serious signs of aging, I'm definitely looking forward to buying either a Mini with retina or go all in for an iPad Air.. These tablets are just really well made, and although I love open source and linux, I just can't stand using any version of Android. It just turns me off, I'm not sure if its the UI or.. what, I just don't like the feel of Android on a phone or a tablet.

The closer and closer these tablets come to paper thin the more excited I become. Time to pawn off some household items to drop $500 on just the baseline model of the iPad Air...

Yeah, I'm sure we'll all be blocking this shit out once it is deployed. Unfortunately, without a jailbroken or otherwise modified phone/tablet, you wont be able to block them when on a mobile device. Hopefully this will start the ball rolling on a mass exodus to some other network.

Actually, they are not attempting to put an official channel on the name and idea of Anonymous.

They are creating a centralized news site where news about Anonymous and Anonymous operations and be aggregated, discussed, posted etc. I also can't agree with your predictions that the site will be "controlled, or shut down, or censored" -- and how exactly will people get the idea Anonymous has sold out? By creating a legitimate media outlet, it's more like they're gaining more awareness...

You don't speak for Anonymous, so let's not go spouting ignorant rubbish about it selling out and what it does or does not support. I hear the bell ringing kiddo, it's time for class.

I'm becoming more and more of a Mint fan. It's easy to set up, looks nice and doesn't have Unity! It has debian at it's core, just like Ubuntu, but without most of the bullshit.

I don't know how many of you noticed in the last few weeks that the usual round of default password scans had a few Microsoft IPs in them. I have several event logs with MS IPs scanning my network with default logins. I didn't think much of it, thought maybe it was a spoof--- but hey, it looks like it really was from inside of MS's network. Crazy shit, and how ironic is it that they got their Macs?

Who gives a fuck, the media is never going to get it right. The point is that the golden gate bridge is going to look fucking amazing at night for two years. As a NorCal resident, I will be consuming psychedelic substances and walking around the bridge when they light it up in march. San Francisco has so much technology living in at, and such creative people, be they musicians or technologists. It's about time we get some big crazy light show powered by programmable LED lights!

I made a brown dwarf after my second cup this morning, small universe.
