Incorrect. FOX11 video

Incorrect.
FOX11 video fallacies:
1. Anon does not simply attack anyone. They have a goal. Look it up. For the Lulz.
2. ...The "Internet Hate Machine" image is (I believe) a joke from the site imagechan.org
3. Anon are not domestic terrorists, anon is a group of HACKERS (Kinda. Technically not, but that's too complicated to explain).
4. Chances are, the MySpace hackers are simply dipshits who use the Anonymous name to sound more powerful, but they are not actually part of Anon.
5. Anon has no "Secret website". It's not possible to have a "secret website"...think about it.
6. Um...you can't use an -mail address to hack OTHER people's MySpace. Sorry kids, the internet doesn't work that way.
7. Rigghtt...a site full of stolen passwords. That wuld be shut down in a DAY. It's not legal.
8. Again. The Bomb Threats were probably posted by wannabes just using the Anon name.
9. ANON HAS NO ORGANIZATION.
10. Again, the phone messages are probably other people not actually related Anon. Probably schoolmates engaged in cyber bullying.

I am kind of doubting the veracity of this thing. Sounds like a distraction from the economy discussion that is helping Obama...I think we should leave her alone.

What a joke. A group that calls themselves anonymous! A group of power hungry propeller heads, that are at best mediocre, less than average, wannabe "A" types people--showing off their useless skills--but to afraid to say who they are!!

How deplorable is this that "Anonymous" is using their power to hack into someone's PERSONAL email?

It is plain wrong. They have done no good.

You're a moron if you think

You're a moron if you think Anon is actually a group of people, or at the very least, the same group of people at any given time. Someone did this and claimed to do it in Anon's name, that is all.

My, my, my aren't we

My, my, my aren't we throwing around the word "terrorist" lightly these days? Maybe we should stop and attempt to define that word before utilizing it. Before jumping to any quick conclusions, stop and think about what these people do....these "hackers" are uncovering information that is desperately being attempted to be hidden (by people, governments, etc.) that is our right as citizens to be aware of (whether we like the contents or not). I suppose most of us wouldn't want our personal information leaked out to the world, but then again we aren't attempting to run the "most powerful country in the world". As a teacher, I thank them for the education. We should all be so lucky to have someone following up on the constitution and the true ideals of freedom of thought, speech, religion and knowledge of government and the myriad other freedoms we all take for granted and expect our government to just hand over to us. Maybe if more "secret" documents got out we wouldn't have to recall with horror the holocaust, Watergate, the Iran Contra Affair, Armenian genocide, the suffering in Darfur, etc., etc.

You are a teacher? So, tell

You are a teacher? So, tell me this. What part of the U.S. Constitution gives people the right to invade another citizens privacy? Yo claim that it is our right to know the private and personal information of ordinary U.S. citizens. Do you understand that the information this group posted was pictures and cell phone numbers of the Palin children? Of what use would having the cell phone of a child be other than perhaps to some stalker or pedophile who would love to get their hands on a child of someone in the public view. I am glad that my children are all grown so that I don't have to worry that perhaps you are their teacher.

Palin is so simple minded.

Palin is so simple minded. How could anyone allow her to step foot in the white house, the home of our fore fathers whom fought with their lives and gained our respect from the freedoms they won for us before they were placed in office. What has she done for us, nothing. No one knows her but half of the US has stood behind her like sheep. She has made elementary mistakes left and right and it is just getting worse. i am so embarrassed right now to be an American.

"A hacking group known as Anonymous"

And you print this because... someone said so?

What this should say is:

"An anonymous hacker"

Assuming this has anything to do with hacking. More than likely they just guessed the password. A lot of people use really simple and easy to guess passwords.

Anonymous are cyber-cowards.

Anonymous are cyber-cowards. You want my email to post a comment, how about their email addresses or better yet, their mother's? It's hoped someone in the group is punished for violating Gov Palin's personal email. By what authority does anonymous have for such an invasion of privacy?
No butt-wipe, there's no benefits.

Hey pinheads, your own web

Hey pinheads, your own web description; "Wikileaks - Wikileaks Publishes and comments on leaked documents alleging government and corporate misconduct."
Nothing was leaked, Anonymous committed a crime.
And what about Biden or Obambamaba? Nothing to disclose on them?

Uh... it has been confirmed

Uh... it has been confirmed folks so all the personal attacks on the groups and Obama really makes no sense.

She wants to claim transparency, but she is using personal email for government business. That is wrong.

I can understand some of you have been charmed by her, but most of that charm came from a speech writer. If you look at her actual public speeches the RNC speech sounds NOTHING like her.

She is on a stumble... along with McCain 24/7 Flip Flopper on a Dime.

Being a POW at his rank does nothing to enhance his resume to be president. I'm sure there are some FORTRAN and COBOL programmers for years, but that doesn't make them ready to take the lead in the world of ASP.NET.

Peace to you all!

Greg, that was a cheap shot.

Greg, that was a cheap shot. I don't remember how to not flip-flop, count houses and tie my shoes, because I was a POW. 9/11, 9/11, 9/11!! We need deregulation. LOW TAXES!! Sarah and I are like soul mates. We are the change we believe in, and you elitists should believe too. THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM IS SOUND, WHILE SOCIAL SECURITY IS DISGRACEFUL!! So, in summary: 9/11, low taxes and privatization.

The fact that Sarah Palin

The fact that Sarah Palin was using a Yahoo! account is almost neglectable in light of the fact that Anonymous members were illegally cracking the email account and deliberately spread private and government information on the internet, on top of all endangering the safety of Palin's family. No "public interest" exists for this, and their doing was just plain illegal. Anonymous is known for illegal and harassing actions for a long time.

There seems to be a few

There seems to be a few misconceptions here. First some act like hackers(Black Hats) really care if what they do is illegal. Second some act like hackers don't communicate between each other. Finally there is the person who thinks this was all a sham.

To answer:
First Black Hat hackers have so called illegal websites all over the web typically hosted outside of the U.S. or any country with strong anti-hacking laws. These sites do include user names and passwords for both privte and business emails as well as private companies LAN and WAN sites.

Second hackers of all levels communicate via the afore mentioned websites, online forums, and other means.

Third only someone that has no clue would call something a sham when the evidence says other wise. Logic dictates truth and facts. Illogical statements usually gets one laughed at.

While the company employed energy-efficient innovations like solar panels, its infrastructure produced unacceptable power and cooling requirements.

Leveraging technologies such as Linux, high-end commodity processing power and Oracle RAC technology to architect, design, build and maintain database infrastructure that delivers maximum availability, reliability and performance at a fraction of traditional cost.
