[QUOTE=ewitwins;34799989]My question is, who in their right mind thinks they could black out the entire internet for even a second? That's like saying you can disrupt the connection of every single computer on the planet, and it strikes me as something that's impossible save mass power-shortages or us all [b]dying[/b] v:v:v[/QUOTE] From what I understand their great plan is to take out the root DNS servers, which if they understood how it works they would understand just how silly that is. For a bunch of nerds they aren't that good at this.
[QUOTE=SaintHitler;34799203]Well fuck, anonymous is more powerful then ever now.

Anonymous is simply 95% teenagers who think they're capable of hacking shit, and go on trying to start pissing matches against people, meanwhile only about 5% are actually skilled enough to hack anything. Anonymous is simply an umbrella term many hackers use.[/QUOTE] How to become a member of anonymous Step1: buy a guy fawk mask Congrats you are now part of anon.

Anyone can use it, and thus it can not be rated.
Oh Anon you so crazy~
They better change the password from 1234.
Wow this is just like Die Hard 4. Except instead of Bruice Willis driving cars into helicopters it's more like two neckbeards in a basement. And instead of blacking out the US it's more one light-bulb. In their own basement. Because they tripped on the cable.

[QUOTE=Glitch360;34799237]Lol if they do something like this they are going to be so fucked (Quite literally, Bubba's gonna be waiting for them in federal prison)[/QUOTE] he ha ho ooooh yesssss
I knew there had to be a reason why my servers went down early

Quick, someone call Bruce Willis and the Mac Guy
So they may or may not take down the power grid in a year or two. Ummm who cares? And if yes, why?
Brb, killing helicopters with cars.
My translation: "You must let us control the internet and surrender all your freedoms and free speech rights, only then you'll be safe from this false terror."
Can we get one article about anon without a Guy Fawkes mask? If someone takes down the power grid it's not gonna be them.
[QUOTE=SaintHitler;34806572]Shut up, I say SAUCE or SOURCE. No need to be a jackass about it.[/QUOTE] Sauce is something you put on ribs or salad. Source is where the object came from originally, or a brand of yogurt.
[QUOTE=der_crow;34800864]I knew there had to be a reason why my servers went down early[/QUOTE] Great job reading the article. [quote=Bullshit]Anonymous might be able to cause a limited power blackout in a year or two[/quote] They didn't even touch your said [I]precious[/I] server.
What are they going to do? Turn everything off?
[QUOTE=FullStreak12;34799215]isn't anon loosely held? How do they get control of a power grid?[/QUOTE] Because the media doesn't understand the internet, and are all about sensationalist reporting, so they go with the digital boogeyman and say they can do anything and everything.
"We shall shut down the power grid!" *DDoSs their website* It seems to me that most anon attacks are just annoying and not particularly effective.
First thing I thought when I read the title. "Do they now..." Shit like this gets too much attention.
Sensationalist as fuck headline. It's a warning that they MIGHT be able to in a YEAR or two. Read the article before posting it(and before posting about it).
[QUOTE=Drsalvador;34824931]Sensationalist as fuck headline. [/QUOTE] Especially when the only thing you see on the homepage is "BREAKING NEWS: ..."
if they cut the power how will they keep ddossing
