patentdragonI'm glad I've done a big chunk of my Christmas shopping already, because Nice Mister Hacker has decided to "fight for our freedoms" by trying to crash the credit card companies and Paypal. In the run-up to Christmas. Yeah, that'll really build support for A Certain Website, won't it?
Nice Mister Hacker is a real hero to all the boys and girls, isn't he? He's the one who wants you to download a DDoS "kit" so your computer can automatically attack his targets for him - but what else is that malware doing? Sending him your personal information - bank details, credit card information, personal correspondance? Don't worry about it - after all, you can always blame Micro$oft for your security woes - just like always...
Oh, look at "patentdragon", say the followers of Nice Mister Hacker. Look how "alternative" "he" is, the little apologist for The Big Man and the United Sh!t3s of America...
I'm not one of you. Never have been. I'm also NOT "One Of Them". Yet again, the ancient art of "pigeon-holing" raises its ugly head - there are NOT only twenty or so types of people in the world, each person jammed into their "best fit" cubby-hole, just as there are not just "Them" and "Us". There are also the people in between, the people who don't speak out either way, and get on with their lives, as best they can... the ones who are most likely to get hurt in the cross-fire. Like Mister and Missus Average, who now find that they're in trouble with ToysIsUs or AmaShop.com, 'cause their credit card payments for Johnny and Suzy's presents didn't go through. Their credit rating goes through the floor, and all because Nice Mister Hacker wants to be The Big Man.
That's what ALL this sorry crap is REALLY about. Nice Mister Hacker and his interweb "heroes" want power, power over everyone who is below them on the technology ladder - oh, and anyone else who dares to look at them funny. Anyone who, and this is the really funny part, "thinks they're better than us". Of course, let's not forget that Nice Mister Hacker doesn't need a credit card, because he doesn't pay for ANYTHING - why bother when you can get all the films, games and music you want for free? It's not really stealing, is it...?
I just hope Nice Mister Hacker, and his legion of adoring but deluded fans, are living next to one of the "sensitive targets" revealed by "That Website" when it gets targeted by terrorists - or that their medical records get splurged all over their precious interweb when someone hacks into them and finds all kinds of juicy, "funny stuff" about the various "personal" cancers they've gone down with after being exposed to a bunch of radioactive sh8...
"Nobody has been killed by any of the leaks", cry the supporters of "That Website". NOT YET, but soon, I can assure you.
Meanwhile, the Dole Pogrom continues as some clever dick suggests that "the unemployed should get out and shovel snow", and Hacker Nation do absolutely BUGGER ALL about a real injustice. Hey, why should they when they can still embarrass America some more...
End rant.
