Don't forget that Spain is right now the poorest country in Europe (somewhere between 13 and 22 trillion dollars in debt), and if their economy collapses it will take Europe into an economic spiral downwards into the stone age unless they GET RID of the Euro and replace it with country-based currency. It's causing more harm economically in regards to inflation and depression than its helping with its simplicity.
right, rant is over, just wanted to put that out there.
I don't know.GHudston said:
But maybe, just maybe, and this is a stretch, I know, Anon isn't quite as leaderless as they want people to think. It's kind of hard to organize anything if everyone is just doing whatever the hell they want. In all likely hood, these men were the leaders of certain operations, not the group as a whole. If you've ever been involved in any group work, you probably have an idea of what I am talking about.
I cant see how you see this as a good day. millions of dollars(tax payer dollars) are being spent every day and the best they can come up with is 3? Not to mention that they probably are not even leaders considering that Anon has no real leaders just justifies that they are trying to make themselves look good to the public. All they really did was take 3 legs off of a centipede and if my biology serves right a centipede can still move with 3 legs missing.Awexsome said:
It depends. Arresting three /b/tards using scripts someone else wrote to attack a website will do nothing. Arresting three hackers who know what they're doing well enough to break into PSN and steal credit card numbers will do a lot of damage. If there are thousands of people working with Anonymous, you can bet only a handful will actually have any real impact. The rest are there just to serve as cannon fodder should shit hit the fan.Fasckira said:
There's no such thing as a leaderless group, we as humans always follow the alpha no matter how hard we try to avoid it. If anon is a group, then they'll have a leader, they'd probably not even realize it or like to admit it, but they will be. Not to sound cliche but its human nature as a social, tribal species.Saltyk said:
The choice of what people do with their personal data should be left with them and not at the whims of an internet group. Doing that pretty much puts them in the whole "Do what we say or else" area.Wulfheri said:
Yep, telling us what we can and can't do with our personal information is really defending our freedoms to do what we like...Wulfheri said:
As for the news itself... Not real sure what to think. If they were the ones that were attacking PSN then I'm glad they've been caught, they are criminals. However I don't know I'm sort of doubtful.
I must've skipped that line. It would teach me to do 6 things at a time. I've edited it out anow I'm wondering if we'll see a domino effect from this.Avaholic03 said:
I,m actually pro anonymous also haven,t we established THEY DIDN'T DO IT? seriously who the fuck is such a genius to leave their business card at the scene of a a crime?
Yeah, that was kind of my point. If Anon truly had no organization or leadership, they would never accomplish anything as a group. The existence of AnonOps kind of underscores that.Sovvolf said:
I don't know how they might be organized, but I imagine it's likely a system where someone comes up with an idea and asks for help. Others then agree to help, but the original person with the concept, or someone else who volunteers, likely coordinates the whole operation. This might not be a classic leadership, but it's most certainly not leaderless.
