If you actually read that article the main part of it isn't really about Anonymous with a capital A (which isn't just 4chan by the way as people seem to be implying), but a group called g00ns (not to be confused with Something Awful goons). Anyway, as far as I can tell from the partyvan IRC the DDoSing has stopped now (perhaps partially due to the influence of ) and focussing on legal actions such as picketing. I may actually go the the Manchester one in Deangate since it's like 10 minutes away.

I wouldn't really says this is many. The link in the OP says only µTorrent and BitTorrent are affected. That's only 2. I guess other clients based on the original BitTorrent might be affected as well if they use the affected code unmodified. Maybe BitTornado or something.

Why is it 0-9 if it only has 5 buttons? Why not just 0-4?

I like how they had to label him with "Bill" because the drawing of his face is so bad you can't possibly tell who it's supposed to be.

You do actually have a right to silence in the UK, but that's only in relation to giving evidence to something you've been charged with, i.e. you don't have to provide testimony during criminal proceedings (although since 1994 the jury can draw inferences from your silence, in England and Wales at least, not sure about Scotland and NI). Being forced to hand over encryption keys doesn't come under the same protection and you don't even have to be charged with a crime before being ordered to surrender your keys.

I'm greatly confused as to what this topic is about. Anyway, have a waffle: http://llamaguy.com/waffle.jpg[/img]

Mmm, why me? That sounds like something someone who wasn't incredibly lazy would do. I do agree with SomeoneE1se though, something doesn't really need the execute bit set unless it's actually an executable or a directory. In case of web servers it would mostly be directories and stuff in cgi-bin which would need it. Stuff like .php files don't need it since they are parsed by the webserver, not executed like CGI script/programs.

You know chmod is just the name of the utility to change modes (which includes permissions and things like setuid), right? Permissions are not called chmods.

You can't copyright a name, by the way, you can trademark one but that's nothing like a copyright.

What are you talking about? That's fantastic.

The world would be boring if everyone always did whatever their parents told them to do.

I have two pretty crappy 1280x1024 LCD monitors that I've had for years. I was going to buy a shiny new 24" 1920x1200 LCD but then it turned out that spending the money on prostitutes and drugs was more fun. On another note it's almost exactly 4 months since I disappeared just before hilariously saying I was definitely going to the meetup in London, paying the deposit, buying a train ticket then completely forgetting about it since I hadn't been on the Hak5 IRC or forums for a while. Did I cost someone some money doing that? I'll paypal them the money if I did. How'd it go anyway? Good to be back anyway (actually I'm kind of indifferent about it but I'm bored as hell, so meh), refreshed from my break from Hak5 and hopefully less of a fucking cunt, what the hell was wrong with me before? Reading some of my old posts it seems I was a complete dick. I think all the idiotic posts got to me. I realise this post is almost completely off-topic but I wanted to write it somewhere and making a topic for this would be a bit narcissistic I think. Oh, and is IRC down or have I just forgotten the secret handshake? Edit: Heh, looking at the stats it appears I still have the 4th highest total time online after all these months. And these forums had only been up a few months too.

Just sent a deposit.

Only fickle idiots change their name.

Yes, go to http://google.com

Of course we've heard of Romania, at least in the EU it joining this year was pretty big news. Plus I think there was some news last year about some orphanages there still being in terrible condition.

There is a use for it, and it's that it's useful to test if a page renders properly in Safari if you don't own a Mac.

A spam bot would never say "First of all, I'm new here and a really like watching Hak5".

Uh, yeah, this is what's evil about Google and not the China thing. :roll:

I do it on a regular basis with Nero. Nero must convert it then, DVDs and CDs use different file systems.

Japan uses this sort of jack and RJ-11s.

I don't disagree with him, but that essay seems full of terrible arguments.

Eugh.

I don't know, but there's something terrifying about the slogan "UNITE-EMPOWER-SUCCEED". Also, what's with the top Google ad on the right?

reporting in sir! Ok so like... yea... if u learnt from this script it would at least impress me a little, but still, not even thinking about loops... did u just get this of some skiddie site? You only have half?
