oh god lol

seriously. you could tell this was fishy just from the lame commercials. these 35,000 people should be hitting themselves in the head for being so stupid.... oh wait that might make it worse.

Really i'd rather let the site go down to ddos than blocking and i think most would agree.

Sounds like they backed out pretty quickly. Probably the best move they could make (aside from not blocking 4chan in the first place).

As for the DDoS claim by them, i say FUD. /b/ was just as slow as it always is.

I seriously doubt that the FBI can legally do this. Warrants are not suppost to be as broad as this. something is most definitely wrong here.

cant say i really care. im going to dual boot xp and some distro or freebsd instead.

i dont see whats wrong with what ballmer is saying. im not a huge fan of him or windows by any means but an apple is an x86 computer in a fancy case with an overpriced operating system. sure its better than windows but not so much to be paying such a steep price for it.

the extra cost just makes less people afford it and the ones who do end up being smug like hybrid owners in southpark, or on slashdot..

agreed. this has bad idea written all over it. using a taser to move someone away from a bullet, seriously.

hopefully by the time windows 7 rolls around i'll upgrade to linux. but for the meantime im sitting comfy on xp :)

installing some addon to a 3rd party program for microsoft to try and increase its market share through some .NET BS is not what people have been requesting at all.
