16 "Anonymous" hackers arrested

Nope. Not very nice thing to say.

WHy not? Recognizing demographic trends and attraction habits is a perfectly valid scientific observation. He doesn't think she's hot? What's 'mean' about having an opinion. It's not his fault half of society is so egotistically fragile that half their self worth lays in someone else's eyes.

I am pretty sure that is not what I was saying.

Still annoyed that they're still being called hackers. They're script kiddies! Being called a hacker is too much a compliment for these people.

Agreed.

I know. I hijakced it.

If you want to know what one of them looks like, then her picture is here.

Blank page for me

The program they use to hack is open source. That is bad news.

[Dustin2128]

Why? Software is software is software. That it's open source is irrelevant as it's either a program written by a real hacker in a language that the SKs won't understand (read: anything besides java-like or VB) or it's written by one of them in visual basic or a java like language and it's so poorly done that the source code's not helping anyone. Too lazy to google LOIC, so meh.

Exactly.

LOIC? bahahahahahahaha.

That thing is so poorly programmed you can tell a LOIC attack from 50 miles off. I would be ashamed to have that kind of code in the public domain.

What's even worse is that the core of the program was originally meant for a legitimate purpose, and Anonymous took that and modified it to become a weapon.

I hope it teaches these fools a lesson: What they're doing IS illegal, and they WILL be caught.
