[QUOTE=mobrockers;26585295]The placebo effect only works if the receiver is expecting it to work.[/QUOTE] Security in America? I think most people think it will work, or at least they think it's better than it was before.

Uh oh guys, I just heard the on the news that the only way to stop them is to shut down the entire internet. It just makes me mad that they're doing this only because this Assange guy is a rebel, they don't understand a word of the information that was released. It almost makes me mad how news stations overreact to it all.
Why don't they just take down the IRC that controlls the hivemind?
iirc they tried to take down the irc [editline]9th December 2010[/editline] resulted in a netsplit, nothing else i don't know
[QUOTE=sami-elite;26584959]I don't understand most of you when you're hating toward wikileaks. No matter what the outcome will be, it will have a positive result to governments throughout the world. The US will enforce it's censorship even more, making more Americans happy. Germany will better protect sensitive data's. Countries that have been spied on by the US take measures. Result is a better global awareness and citizens that don't trust everything their government says.[/QUOTE] If you mean United States citizens forming a rebellion in their basements happy, than yea you're on fucking target.
I can't buy anything from Steam because of this. Anon, go do something somewhere else that will mean something. DDoS the State Department, that should have an effect. PayPal can't really refuse to stop service when the State Department forces them to.
Why doesn't somebody go and DDoS 4chan?

[editline]9th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Binladen34;26585422]Why doesn't somebody go and DDoS 4chan?[/QUOTE] How would that help?
Thanks Anon. Disrupting my actions really makes me want to support Wikileaks.
[QUOTE=mobrockers;26585430]Yes they can. [editline]9th December 2010[/editline] How would that help?[/QUOTE] I just realized, it wouldn't.
Does this mean we can't use our paypal?
FUCK ME, MY BANK CARD IS MASTERCARD I can't buy a single fucking thing on Steam, keep getting "Transaction failed" errors. I feel like killing someone.
This wasn't because of wikileaks, it was because they where giving notch problems.
[QUOTE=mobrockers;26585430]Yes they can.[/QUOTE] Several agents of whatever-the-fuck agency show up at your house and boldfacedly tell you that if you don't stop doing this, they'll sue you. If you're dumb (and PayPal obviously was) then they really had no choice. If you're smart, then they could tell them to fuck off. But they weren't. And now I can't buy shit. [editline]9th December 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Kingy_why;26585575]This wasn't because of wikileaks, it was because they where giving notch (the creator of minecraft) problems.[/QUOTE] That was months ago.
[QUOTE={ABK}AbbySciuto;26585599]That was months ago.[/QUOTE] It's obvious I wasn't serious.
[QUOTE=Kingy_why;26585666]It's obvious I wasn't serious.[/QUOTE] Then why did you post?
[QUOTE=Kingy_why;26585666]It's obvious I wasn't serious.[/QUOTE] Oh yeah, I could totally tell, I was just trolling. /sarcasm DO YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE
[QUOTE=Van-man;26585707]Then why did you post?[/QUOTE] Because it was a joke.
[QUOTE=Kingy_why;26586040]Because it was a joke.[/QUOTE] You seem to have misunderstood the concept of a joke then :colbert:
[QUOTE=Binladen34;26585422]Why doesn't somebody go and DDoS 4chan?[/QUOTE] Been done, quite many times too.
Welp apparently the paypal api is down. [url]http://twitter.com/AnonOpsNet[/url]
[QUOTE=Jookia;26578535]I'm happy that Wikileaks is doing, but you shouldn't DDoS things, it's fighting fire with fire and showing that we're no better than they are.[/QUOTE] You are no better than them. Get off the high horse.
It's not anonymous and it's not 4chan god fucking dammit. it's one guy with a fucking botnet that happens to be browsing 4chan. I'm sick of these newspapers saying "IT'S 4CHAN IT'S 4CHAN" 4chan can't even fucking wipe it's own ass properly.

sitting here in my chair and this comes on from my playlist. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd1EfVlRYEw[/media] All of a sudden I find my self having thoughts and mental pictures of Anonymous users flying fighter jets above the clouds shooting lasers at large spherical floating death star looking things. Keep at 'em boys.
[QUOTE=Swilly;26586460]I believe, but just post a source at least.[/QUOTE] What source? do you really think the 200 something people that are browsing /b/ could cause a massive website such as Paypal, visa or mastercard to go down? You need a massive botnet for that, and at best only one or two people on 4chan have that. It's not 4chan as a whole that's the culprit, they're all a bunch of retarded 12 year olds.
Great - just in time for the holidays. Faggots.
You idiots, this isn't 4chan. There's no /i/ on 4chan, and /b/ isn't exactly much good for this. Christ, this is Anon, the huge mob that is the internet, not a particular site.
