Again, 50%. 1/2 of the people in the world will never do any good. The other 1/2 will, but not always in a timely manner.
Hm. Mmmmmm'kay.
I think you have the wrong idea about Anonymous.
Mmm...Nope. I don't think so. I have been watching every single one of Anonymous' moves since that large scale PSN hack. Ever since, we've been seeing a rise of hackings across the internet, across all kinds of companies. The latest ones include LinkedIn, Eharmony, and just, just today, Blizzard. And to quote someone who said it perfectly: "I'm sick of this!"
All Anonymous has done is blown this whole hacker thing into a whole new level. I used to read bits of hackings here and there, but nothing as big scale as that PSN hack. So, now just about any hacker wants in the pie.
Anonymous is a collective, a group of people. And just like any group of people, there are some rotten apples. And just like any bunch of rotten apples, they're typically the ones who get the most attentions in the news.
I saw a bio, and that video you posted about what they're about.... All I could think at the time was: "Mmmm... Yeah right."
The same group that posted that video posted a video about Activision painting them a bad picture. They dig themselves a bigger hole by making a video about Activision. With that video, they wanted to suck up a lot of money out of Eric Hirscberg's pocket. And destroy his life. I mean, putting someone else's information out there for the public to see? That's just as bad as the PSN hack. If you don't want to be known as a bad group,
don't give the news organization something to pin on you.
You should know by now, that the media has a habit of blowing everything out of proportion. Websites do it for hits.
Anonymous has done a lot of good. For example, not to long ago there was a government in the middle east which was using it's defence network to collaborate and coordinate an attack upon innocent civilians who were trying to flea from a war zone. While the rest of the world played politics, innocent women and children were being killing by the hundreds. Anonymous shut down that defence network for over 24 hours and hundreds of innocent lives were saved.
I saw that news on the internet.
That was good of them, but knowing that Anonymous did it just makes me go like "Then if they do this. Why the #@^& did they do that PSN hack? For attention?"
As I said.... With any group there are some bad people and there are some good people, but you only hear about the bad. You can't say all or even most of Anonymous is bad, just like you can't argue that all Republicans or Democrats are bad people.
I think you're a nice guy, and you've shown that here at xenForo for the past year now. I was afraid of "TheVisitor" because of the Anonymous stigma. I'm like, "What's Anonymous doing here of all places!?" And then, secretly, somewhere in my mind "HEY! Hack vBulletin." That day I was bursting out laughing. I almost fell off my chair.
Would still do it and regret nothing. I purchase nothing without first knowing it.
Damn, son. You've got a lot of balls.[/End Post]
