Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44753432 No, but if you make threats that you're going to do just that, and then you take concrete steps to do it like putting baseball bats in your car and drive across the country to confront the person or company you threatened, then that's a very different matter. Context matters. |

Granted his doing is a bit retarded, but he gets A for effort and A for conviction, and an A for not being a quitter. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75516488 His choice of weapon was a bit retarded. If you're going to go on a rampage, you have to choose the right weapons, preferably lethal ones. |

They already have own DNS. I doubt we can create a alternate tcp before they grabbed every single free bit in the internet infrastructure. Even GLP is using their services with that captcha thing and who knows with what else. Let ignorance be your bat. |
