That's simply naive: the people who have the know-how to maintain anonymity are few, and once they're a small enough number, rounding them up for some legal harassment and the occasional armed break-in in the middle of the night will make them see the light. There is safety only in numbers, and the numbers are dwindling fast. You don't want to be singled out for harassment, do you? Remember: in the mind of the layman online crime == child pornography.

Of course it's not believable. Geeks and nerds are usually portrayed by talented, good-looking actors who play their characters as slightly eccentric enthusiasts who happen to be socially awkward in an endearing way. Nobody pays money or wastes time to see ugly, repulsive abhumans behaving in socially unacceptable ways, stalking women, being rude and obnoxious and talking about crap nobody cares about. Perhaps the most accurate portrayal of a nerd in movies was Scott Weidemeyer from "Zero Charisma", and even there it was radically toned down. Face it, the only way to portray that subculture in media is to simply NOT portraying it at all and showing a falsified and viewer-friendly version. Your typical nerd is not the cast from "The Big Bang Theory". Your typical nerd is Elliot Rodger: a lifelong loser obsessed with niche interests and hollow pursuits, good at nothing, with at most average intelligence and yet cultivating delusions of superiority and seething with rage towards the Real, Beautiful People. Nerds are shunned and derided for good reasons.

Ah, typical mysoginist loserboy nerd. All budding elliot rodgers I see. Did you see yourself when you were reading his ramblings? Shunned, humiliated, unloved? A virgin all your life? You hate women because no woman in her right mind would ever fuck you. No one. You are condemned to a life of unfulfillment and loneliness. Are you planning your day of retribution, loserboy? Come on, I can feel your rage from here. You know, it's kinda fun. It's almost worth a snicker. Enraged now, loserboy? Flap your arms, weirdo, flam them like you used to do when you were hazed and bullied (rightfully so) in school while the pretty girls laughed at you. Do you remember how heartily we all laughed when you were left running the corridors bawling like a little kid in your soiled underwear. Ah, what a riot!

He can go and build a better one. Or he can shut up and suck up the fact that Jews are smarter than euro-derived 'murkins.

Yes, of course, the EUrocrats do not want people to know too much. The new president Juncker has stated, publicly, that people should not know too much and deals should be made in secret, and the Commission must move past and push its agenda past the point of no return before the populace can understand what's going on. Van Rompuy stated that the EU policies will be fully implemented even against public opinion. In the end, Hitler has won, but this should not be surprising: europeans are nazis, by nature.

And how, exactly, are you going to prevail against Big Money? Just curious. Because one thing Science Fiction rarely address is how should those technological conquests be defended against people whose wealth mean absolute power. When it does, it usually involves powered armour, flamers and the occasional planet-busting weapon.

Can you still call anything "great white"? I thought it would have been "dimensionally advantaged caucasian".

Most likely, if you're out of work at 30 after working 8 years in the tech industry, you've been replaced by a younger worker who's cheaper and more flexible. IT in particular has no need for talent, know-how and experience, you shovel fresh meat in at one end and shit comes out of the end. That's why computers are for chumps.

There is nothing that can make a nerd "better". A nerd cannot be anything but a nerd. The only improvement would be feeding it to a woodchipper.

You know, somebody has to design those microgravity coffee machines.

... That nerds are not human. Their faces are not evolved this way at all: when punched they either come apart like wet feces or deflate like balloons filled with offal. There are good reasons punches are not used on nerds anymore since a long time. Body blows, arms twisting and headbashings have been the preferred way to deal with the subhuman geeks for years now, although more creative - and definitive - ways are being developed.

You are not anonymous, and never have been. Whenever one of you loserboys is caught, he rats on the others while crapping his pants and crying like the little sissy he is. Do you want change? Dump those stupid Guy Fawkes masks, put on an Obama mask and an explosive jacket and allahuakbarkaboom yourself in some corporation's offices. You will kill some office drones AND cause more social rift that will lead to instability and street violence. They cannot rule on the Net when everybody is out there putting each other's eyes out with screwdrivers, can't they? Stabbings, necklacings, curbstompings and roadside decapitations are exactly what you need. If you're not up to it, eat vaseline and die.

LET YOU$="NEWT". There, I have done it now.

Plans for almost ALL guns are readily available. The firearms market is the closest to open source in real industry, just look at the number of 1911 and SIG Sauer clones around. You can't have many secrets in a device that is meant to be field-stripped for cleaning and that any good gunsmith can fix or modify with some tools. "Mods" like softening up triggers or mag-na-porting have been around forever. Ammo reloading is not some industrial secret. You may have some difficulties making a rifled barrel but it's not overwhelming. Need plans? Google "Metral SMG".

That will teach the broad not to karve her initials on the møøse.
