It's baffling that I'm being downvoted so much. Apparently most hackernews users are devoted fans of 4chan who use that site to get their child pornography fix.

Hopefully Anonymous will use their new capability to destroy morally bankrupt companies, such as the financial companies that refused to handle funds for Wikileaks.

What are they going to do if you form a class anyway? Void your agreement and ban you? Countersue?

Interesting that you use website as a synonym for company. The web site of this company is nothing more than a front end for interfacing with the public for marketing and customer service. Presumably, the company also has their actual VPN s

Most people want to believe their brand is as special as Coke or Apple, but they usually aren't. Most people will not know what a Verisign logo on a web site means in terms of actual security measures, they'll only see it as a label saying

I paraphrase the FBI's cordial letter of November 1964 to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: "Arrington, there is only one thing left for you to do. You know what it is. You have just 34 days in which to do [it]. … You are done. There is but one w

It's baffling that no one at Google is able to foresee obvious ways of abusing the features of their products. It really should be someone's job to try to anticipate these problems and prevent them before new products or features are releas

"more than 8,000 people signed a petition that demanded the source code to Final Cut Pro 7 be sold to a third party" I wonder that anyone would make such a short sighted demand. Apple should properly release the source code of Final Cut Pro
