| roy_ | :What I take issue with is the fact that Linus Torvalds wasted the opportunity by making a joke rather than treating it as the very serious issue that it really is. I may be in the minority on this perspective or opinion, but it might do wonders for an entire community if he spent less time berating people, flipping people off, or making a joke that could mean the difference between actual safety and security or a facsimile thereof. | Sep 25 20:34 |
| roy_ | Then again, I'm still quite new to gnu/linux, so perhaps my displeasure at his lack of clarity is founded in my own inability to "read [and comprehend] the code itself". Then again, no... if/when gnu/linux sees a population boom because of ordinary users leaving Windoze or Aphell (who also likely do not code), perhaps it may in everyone's best interest that Linus leave stand-up comedy to the real comedians." | Sep 25 20:34 |

| roy_ | When people claim to censor the "ignorant" they often rely on the readers not reading the deleted comments (impossibility) which actually are expression of discontent or disagreement. I saw for myself how ZDNet does this http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/ZDNet | Sep 25 20:38 |

| schestowitz | "Oh, I see. You're talking about illegal protests (in this case, taking a California county's website offline). Well, those have been banned for a long time, regardless of whether online or not. One does not get a pass on illegal activity simply because one refers to it as a "protest."" | Sep 25 22:04 |

| schestowitz | "A DDOS is very different from a sit-in: When is a DDOS similar to a sit-in and when is it an attack? Why couldn't Monsanto pseudonymously DDOS every anti-GMO site and call it a "protest?" At a sit-in the protestors are removed against their will by law enforcement and are subject to prosecutorial discretion as to their charge, but how does law enforcement end a DDOS?" | Sep 25 23:25 |
| schestowitz | Some DDOS simply involves refreshing a page from one's own IP and browser. It's hard to punish for this and it can help protest against companies. I suffered some DDOS attacks and hated it; but any protest is SUPPOSED to disrupt; else it's not effective. | Sep 25 23:26 |
