They never had a moral motive. When they targeted Sony, everyone was singing praise, but they have never claimed to be doing this for anything other than "lulz".
Someone made a great comment on a previous Lulzsec headline: When they're attacking Sony it's "righteous" and "good", when they're attacking companies we like they're "bad" and "immature".
>8 years of experience and you didn't know that you should look for compatibility issues BEFORE buying? Seriously?
I for one gave up hope of "The Year of Desktop Linux", a very long time ago and can agree with the majority of your points. But really now? :| That's something you should well be used to dealing with by now
For the past 6 years, I've been much happier with my experience using Linux and the several distro's I've tried my hand at while no it night be perfect I've learned a lot and have been generally more please.
I don't require or use Photoshop, however you do so your wants and needs are different than mine.
I can list problems I've had with windows, that had me run into driver issues, searching through forums and the many many mishaps ( not virus/malware related ) that I've run into. But in the end it would just boil down to my bad experience vs the millions of windows users who would protest to the contrary.
Really now? This needs to stop, it wasn't ok a decade ago, it wasn't ok when Sony pulled this recently, why would they think it's ok now?
That said, in this day and age is an HTML email even, neccessary? An incredibly large amount of users these days don't even bother checking their email unless it's something specific they're looking for. Social Networking has made a large footprint in that market and a status update as to new products/services gets just as much attention.
Disruptive. I've been going paperless( in regards to money )since 2008, this was a flat out disruption on my day to day life.
>This is hardly the first time Sony's customers have been screwed by Sony's customer-hostile policies, so I don't expect it, but I certainly do hope for it.
Sony's abysmal history is public knowledge, that still had little choice in the limited choice I had with buying a gaming system.
>When I'm caught and sentenced? For schadenfreude, or do you think I'm behind this attack? Kudos for missing that hyperbole.
By all means keep downvoting me. How many of you disagreeing with my point about the extremity of these methods were effected by any this? That's what I thought.
More reading on this
Unpleasant is the word your choosing to use? Having my credit card information that links to my bank account, and the only bank account I have, and then having that fucked with is more than unpleasant. I'm thankful when the PSN network was compromised I wasn't one of those people with the claims of large sums of money being circulated out of the bank. ( Yes I know, could easily be coincidental evidence. Not the point. )
By all means the cause is more than plausible with Sony's abysmal track record. The methods are absurd and obnoxious, but by all means keep hiding behind this tired old excuse that the end result is to hurt Sony. The people you're trying to help will have no sympathy when you're caught and sentenced.
For most of the consumer market, this has been true for a very long time. Those who don't know much about computers will buy what is visually appealing over how it functions and those who do care more about how well the things going to hold up.
If I'm reading this right, you're under the impression that a condom protects you against the vast majority of STIs, correct?
Yeah no. Condoms are primarily preventative towards towards diseases that are spread via Semen, vaginal fluids, and skin to skin contact only on the area it covers. Syphilis, Herpes( which can also be spread via oral sex ), Genital Warts, and crabs as a loose example ( There's more ) are not prevented by a condom. Aside from HIV/Aids ( in which case African American women are the highest rate of infected ) that quip was pointless as was this post.
This bears more emphasis. I was on medication for a very long while and whenever someone asks me how I got to where I am now, I'll jokingly say a very lengthy and close relationship with various different anti-depressants.
Of course this ruffles feather in people in all the wrong ways, but its the truth. Anti depressants and psychotropics aren't going to magically cure you, but they are going to help you get to that place where you can figure out what's wrong and work towards getting better.
Useless comments aside, curious as to the motive and who they think did this.
I use the solarized vim/terminal color scheme so from syntax highlighting I can tell the difference between the O and 0 but I can see why it would be a problem.
And then after the fact, are reacting this way. They're not shooting for a project, to build their portfolio, etc. They simply took a picture of something they saw.
I am very curious as to what else they find through these excavations
