First damages to Sony by Anonymous

[Eckin]

The mindset of anoncorps and /b/ isn't the same. There may even be some people in both groups, but people who raid habbo hotel or find information about boxxy aren't the same people who fight against scientology or for assange.

It's a common misconception that every anonymous is a /b/tard who do shit for the lulz, just like how peeps think 4chan = 4chan's /b/ (the "random" board from the site). Hell, even /b/ itself is a multi-faceted place if you care enough to look.

Fox news did a fantastic informational job, I see.

Also, I'd look for a new roommate.
Well, not that I'm following your advice, but he's moving so I have to.

Thank you. People seem to all think that what they're doing is pointless... Well it's not. When the word gets out, the operation is a success. It's kinda like that "no shoes for a day" thing, except this will be 10x more successful.

 

[naved.islam14]

Wowhoo, you rock Anonymous(is he one person or a group?). Lets see what else they do...

 

[Eckin]

is he one person or a group?

A funny way to say it is "he is the internet's hivemind"

... but it's really a group without a face. They call themselves "Anonymous" because of that, you can't tell who is and who isn't Anonymous (which is also the reason for the confusion my previous post was about).

maybe u need to have ur eyes checked because they obviously rn't functioning properly. it says: if a ps3 fails, then it's no longer useable even if repaired. I think u should disconnect from the internet and put ur router in the closet 'cause u obviously haven't filled out the proper request form from sony...oh, didn't u hear they're trying to censor the transfer of information...meaning no internet for u unless sony approves. haha!!

I can't even understand what you're saying.

I'll just leave you with this:

You're completely wrong in every sense. Even if the Air Force used PS3's for a super computer or server or something, I don't think they were ruined by the removal of Other OS. I will bet you $100 on that.

I didn't read pas this post, but in case nobody put you right, the Air Force were/are using a PS3 cluster because for the amount of computing power, it is far cheaper than any other solution. Now that Sony have removed OtherOS, they can not replace ANY damaged units in their cluster because ALL updated PS3's are incapable of running linux and are therefore unusable. By removing OtherOS, Sony has lost a huge customer, who were willing to add another 1700 to their already existing 336 PS3 cluster.

I'll take that $100 now.

any proof they wont replace a linux capable ps3 with another?
just because they wont do it for the general public doesnt mean they wont do it for the military

also im sure they have a huge stock of back up units before the firmware started becoming main stream (shipping with systems)
they dont need to update the firmware because they are just being used for linux and not playing games, movies, going on PSN, ect...

they are messing with sony. Everybody realises that when sony gets angry it wont leave a stone unturned. It just may be one of those times when this group is finally traced and caught

I'm not giving Anonymous any special credit but its been raining shit on Sony ever since 2006.

Anonymous is just another part of the storm... Gee, I wonder if this is all karma?

 

[Ace]

The problem with posting news like these is that they always spark forth the radicals. Either we have butthurt pirates (readirates, NOT Anonymous) complaining and acting like there's even a chance being above the law, let alone a company. And then we have those who says Anon's can go f*** themselves for trying to hard, and are either misanthropic and cynical, or just trying to make everyone get along nicely. To some sense, I agree with both here: Anon's best intentions are only good for the short-term, and really, we don't live in the kind of world where we break the backs of corporate bigwigs and live harmoniously without them. Quite oppositely, we live in a place where civilians fold when they're made to bend for the bigwigs interests. I'm not going to BAAAW and say "Can't we all just agree?!", because that isn't going to happen, no matter how hard one might wish.

TL;DR: These Sony topics brings out the worst in people. Think about what you say now, then imagine recalling your thoughts 5 years down the lifeline: do you find yourself in the wrong?

Quite. Shouldn't you post more than one word? (Is "lol" even considered a word now??!) I'm being optimistic. What right do you have to say one thing or another is pointless? You're either for it, or against it. In fact, by slandering the ordeal, you draw attention to it. Therefore helping the cause.

 

[Maedhros]

The Anonymous involved with this is different from the Anonymous involved with wikileaks/scientology/etc cases... it's only a part of them who got pissed by this.

It's a silly cause to defend. And they not doing anything good for Geohot and the others.

 

[Fear Zoa]

Theres not really much to catch.....anonymous is more of a moniker for any group of people to use when doing anything on the internet....you catch a few anons and its not going to do anything

I fully agree, while I do like to see Sony scramble, I don't like to see it if it's gonna hurt random people in the process.

It's 3 words: Laugh out loud.
And that was the only response to your comment.


However if you want more, here you go:

Anonymous is an annoyance. Nothing more.
Nothing they have done has had a lasting impact. You know what... scratch that. Thanks to Anonymous, Westbro Baptist Church has move out of 'ignored fringe group' to 'main spotlight'. THANKS FOR HELPING TO GIVE THEM COVERAGE ANONYMOUS!
They are NOT the unsung and unappreciated heroes or the vigilant and watchful eyes in the night that their supporters make them sound like. They are one-trick script-kiddy cyber criminals. They employ tactics that are tantamount to a child's tantrum when Mommy doesn't buy him a toy.

How hard is it to take down PSN? It's down every other month anyway.

Umm yea. I'll agree with that being what most of them are. The idea that they stand for is one worth fighting for. Many of them take what they do seriously. I bet those "Script-Kiddies" believe they are doing some good.

Also, if you had said "Laugh out loud", I wouldn't have said anything, but acronyms aren't words."LoL" being the only thing you said, is against the rules. Maybe you should re-read the rules?

 

[Eckin]

(wow guys cut some quotes out of that quote-train next time, scrolling the page feels like I'm playing Enduro)

Most of the Anonymous aren't even "script-kiddies". Most of the time they are just "lending their connection" for an attack (that was the case during the Operation Payback).

Also they apologized for the downtime caused by their attack on the PSN and there are some further explanations about their group in the same link (part of them are hitting on the PSN, but others are not). But I'm sure no one will read it so whatever.
