Penny Arcade - Doot Dee Doo: "...even after hackers kicked off a month long outage at one of the most powerful companies in the world, it still wasn't enough to change policy. I want you to think about that future, the one we want to live in. Hopefully it will be some comfort while you are looking over your transaction history, trying to figure out exactly how much of your hard earned savings have been converted into dildos. "

Terrorists or freedom fighters?
Do you want to know a pet peeve of mine? I'm quite certain by saying this you will just continue doing it (because you hate my soul), but oh well.
I hate how you write your question or thoughts as a comment in the comment section! Just write it underneath the quoted passage! UggghArrgh!!!
But anyway...
Is there an inbetween? If they hold credit card users information, that's too extreme (no way should they be "privledged" or trusted to hold that valuable of information, whatever their cause), but if they don't use it or sell it, that's not being a terrorist, in my opinion.
One or the other...I'll say freedom fighter. You?
Haha, what's wrong with commenting in the comments? That's what it's for!
Besides, writing my thoughts underneath ruins the aesthetic of the post.
As for the hackers, I'm going with terrorists. (If I have to pick one or the other)
From the LulzSec statement:
"Top priority is to steal and leak any classified government information, including email spools and documentation. Prime targets are banks and other high-ranking establishments. If they try to censor our progress, we will obliterate the censor."
Even if I was guaranteed that I wouldn't lose any money or have my identity stolen, I still don't want them fucking around with my bank's website. I do almost all of my banking online, and if nothing else it would be really inconvenient if the site went down for a prolonged length of time.
Comments are meant for comments about your post! Just pose the question after the original post. Trust me, the "aesthetics" will not be ruined.
Haha, whenever I say "trust me", do you become immediately skeptical? Just curious.
Well sheesh, you read the LulzSec statement and I think I have to flip-flop towards terrorist as well. I don't like the part about leaking classified information. Very terrorist-like.
Haha, yes. But it's not just you, I get skeptical whenever anyone says "trust me."
Exactly! "Terrorists or freedom-fighters?" was a comment about the post, so it should go in the comments section. And I have no faith in your aesthetic senses when it comes to languange....you speaklewhinge like a motherfucker.
Ironically, I think the classified data is what I'm least worried about when it comes to hackers.
There is a lot of classified information (definitely not all...) that I want to know and want the world to know. "Sunlight is the best disinfectant."
I'm much more inclined to support Wikileaks (and Anonymous to a degree) than I am LulzSec.
"Terrorists or freedom fighters?" was not a comment! It was a question- a question that should have been posed with the post! A comment would have been your opinion about the passage, or an answer to your question. You know, everything in the comment section AFTER your question!!!
Funny, I had to do the announcements the other day, and some of the kids said they couldn't hear me at some parts, to which I replied, "Oh, that's because I speaklewhinge." Predictably, they said, "What??", so naturally I said "SPEAKLE-WHINGE" in a slow, loud voice, to make sure they heard me. You would have laughed =). I did =).
I'm sure there must be some classified data that you'd be nervous getting out. Of course there'd be no way of knowing if you didn't want it out until it was actually out, but I wouldn't want anything too classified (military/defense info) to get out.
Freedom fighters vs. terrorists is a question dervied from the post, not part of the post itself.
If they had a section marked 'questions', and a section marked 'comments', I would post it in the questions section. But since there's only one, I have to post it in comments.
There is definitely classified information I don't want leaked.
But I would say a lot of it, more than 50%, is classified unnecessarily.
