Excuse me....I just
had to add my 2 cents worth here....(I almost fell out of my "armchair"
reading it .)
[: hacktivism :]
Where is the line drawn
between "hacktivism" and 'hackerism'? (hacking/terrorism)
hacking
is generally considered to be malicious...or at least very
annoying. ***** (sounds like media hype to me.......)*****
how far
are people willing to go in their cyber 'arm chair-activism'? *****Not
very far...in an armchair...HActivism?....depends on the
reasone?...how far do YOU think ???*****
do any of us expect to
change anything, or just talk about how awful things are? (which is ok
:) *****Some of us don't sit in armchairs,and actually Do things to get
results...and hopefully...change.*****
i just dont know how successful
'echelon dictionary campaigns' (and the like) are, but i personally
would like to feel that we are making a difference if we are gonna act
like thats what we are doing here.***** posers are not
awfully effecient....neither is "acting"....the info is out there,use
it...be effective? the people whom are "doing" more than talking are making
a difference....just check out the media hype! LOL! seriously
though...we may not hear/see right off just how effective SOME of our work
is...you know how "they" hate to admit anything???*****
The way this
stuff gets reported on TV, (like the echelon campaign) this is all just
an 'Art Bell/X-Files trip' and we are a bunch of conspiracy
theory geeks... ********Well...there is an awful lot of truth in
the saying : "the truth IS out there..."....some things in life ARE
X-files. that doesn't mean just because of some TV show...we should just
give up.& give in does it??? let em say what they want...when all the
dust settles..we can feel good we at least tried to fix
it right.******** Don't forget, hacking can be as powerful in
cyberspace as bombs are in the real world... *****forget?
forget?.....Egad! "I have no response to that...Mulder"
;)*****
maybe 2 lists: hacktivism and hackerism
:) *****(sigh)*****
I hope i am not out of place for saying
this, i am new to all this. I dont assume i even know what i am talking
about! :) *****welcome to the edge,friend.you do ask some really good
questions.....do a little homework,you might feel better about it
all.....maybe. Freedom is mainly what it is all about...and you have the
right to freedom of speech...Don't let anybody tell you diff! You seem
to have a good mind...look into some of our works..and why...see what
you feel then.*****
i am no hacker, i am an artist concerned about
the future. ***** Cool! I am an artist/freelance/ on the side....I am
concerned too...thats why I am here...I hate war...dont care much for the
WTO,despise how we are lied to(ech)..ecology is in sad need of
defending,the list goes on...having become disenchanted with whinning
and moaning, I decided to do something worthwhile..an activist for 20
yrs(& 2 mo.) (yes..I started early) you can too! remember,any success
is better than it was before....If enough people do something,it is
bound to help! Now...here..this way is even more effective!!!(but I have
carpal tunnels in my carple tunnels)I now have designer black leather
wrist braces.sad but true..LOL!And..as for the armchair thing I found so
amusing...hehe...dont sit very long...stand...stretch...get something with
wheels... AND! not too comfy...this spacecase tends to fall asleep at
the board...too many logon hours can kill ya! BTW...what is the seasone
now???((and a healthy sense of humor is a plus,methinks..or ya just might
go mad!!!EHEHEHEHEh I am new to this list too..but not to the Hacktivism
......Hacker ism?....done/do that too.It's another kind of animal,sort
of.Malicious? dependz...seldome..dependz...mostly
just reading,writing,building.tearingdown,rebuilding,more writing,reading....etc.***** ZoeScanner
