As I’ve already said, I was using the term hacker in the original ‘Jargon File’ sense of the term hacker. (See link in article if you are unacquainted with the Jargon File) Definition 5. and 1. seem appropriate to me, your mileage may vary.

However, the wider media calling ‘Anonymous’ hackers might have something to do with the 220Mbps DDOS attacks against The Church Of Scientology’s web sites.

As for the rest of the ‘errors’ - well I know the masks are V For Vendetta masks - I read V when I was a teenager in 1984 in the original Warrior Magazine, right up to the point when Warrior folded. I then followed V to its conclusion when DC picked it up in 1988. I think I still have my original V for Vendetta T Shirt somewhere as it goes.

I asked one of the participants at the event where they got the masks. They answered The Forbidden Planet

Also pretty sure I know when and where the photos were taken as I took them, so I’m not too sure what other factual errors you are referring to. V is published in the UK by Titan.

As for grammatical errors, well you may have me there. No one is perfect eh?

There are so many errors in this post, both factual and grammatical, so as to call into question the validity of any of it.

Anonymous are a bunch of hackers???…..pfft. May I ask where THAT bit of dreck came from?

Fer f*cks sakes.

Someone commented that the word “photo’s” shouldn’t have an apostrophe because it’s just a plural. I’d like to point out that it is also an abbreviation of “photograph”, so technically an apostrophe could be considered correct.

I’m sorry, I’m not very ‘cool’.

Very suspicious there was no news on the BBC about this.

Hmmm… ten pm on Sunday… worldwide protests which began in Australia this morning… and still nothing on the BBC news channel. Not a peep.

Why..?”

That is EXACTLY what I’m wondering. Almost every other country has covered it in their national press, but it’s like it didn’t happen in UK - and we had one of the biggest turnouts, along with LA. What gives ? 500 people, or as near as dammit, gather to make a peaceful protest and it’s not considered newsworthy. I worry about people, really I do.

Also, you do not put an apostrophe in plurals.

“photo’s” should be “photos”.
