I went to a launch at Cape Canaveral when I was 16, it was awesome. I hope, very much so, that I get to see another.

haha, first because I was anonymous, now because I am desperate. One of hangs onto interpretations the other keeps inventing new ones. So we're both assholes, whatever. I'm done with this.

Oh man, you got me, its the anonymity, thats why theres a picture of me chugging whiskey in taiwan as my icon. My name is Devin Howard, 26 years old, born in California, grew up in North Carolina. UNC Chapel Hill undergrad, UNC Greensboro grad, now living in Beijing with girlfriend because for someone with humanities…

nope, didn't say anything about law, just said I was letting it stand, as in, I will not rescind my original comment.

well, seemed like a nonchalant dismissal of the piece, so my douchebaggery stands based on how the comment was perceived, not how it was intended.

You're right, the idea existed beforehand so I can totally write off its successful and creative execution. What a dumbass this guy was.

I have no idea. I have a bunch of humanities degrees and none in computer science so my ponderings are really just from a geopolitical standpoint. Broad, thematic musings if you will. The goverment has done all kinds of crazy things regarding "Total Information Awareness," using the internet as a way to predict the…

twilted, Im not going to address in depth everything you just wrote. Bottom line is: if Lulz truly is going to speak truth to power then I endorse their mission. I was merely leaving open the possibility that there is more to the Lulz group than is currently known.

Well, thats definitely a good thing. I heard the news from Beijing and despite the fact that I'm straight, male, white, and have been largely un-oppressed my entire life it gives me heart to hear that it isn't all bad news coming from the US. There is hope for tolerance.

So how hungover is everyone this morning?

hahaha, laughing my ass off right now. I would pay money to see a hacker named "Raptor Death Squad" face off against a government program called "Operation Eagle Scream" in a Hacker-esque internet showdown.

my eyes are doing strange things now. Michelle Obama is one of the most incredible people on the planet.

hahaha, i think its a liiiiiittle closer, but yeah, thats a fair analogy

which means trimming unneeded, unwanted, or redundant elements of those bushes to improve the functional aesthetics of the plant or arrangement of plants.

ok, so these guys are not the wizards I am understanding them to be, but from what you describe it sounds like they have advanced the concept of hacking in a way that not only exploits readily available technology but also piggybacks a strong public relations management strategy along with it. They are playing the…

Topiary sounds like it was lifted straight off the cover sheet of a CIA clandestine operation. It actually even sounds a bit outdated, from the sixties or seventies maybe. Today's operational nomenclature has drifted into some fairly abstract, meaningless territory and "Topiary", which means roughly clearing away dead…

Anonymous has already proved themselves to be anti-establishment, but Lulzsec is still an unknown quantity in many ways. Couldn't Lulz actually be the government or security and this be some type of sting? Or is that not possible due to the nature of their exploits to this point? Im not a hacker, computer engineer, or…
