4chan Declares War On Snow

With all the recent hacktivism in the news, Anonymous has decided to take on a new and powerful enemy: snow. On Sunday the group announced that it will "do everything in its power to shut snow down by attacking the Weather Channel and North Face websites, boycotting outerwear, and voting for the sun as Time’s 2010 Person Of The Year." I'm sure there are a lot of people in Minneapolis right now that would wish them luck.

Back to basics

I'm glad to see them remembering what it's all about ...teh lulz.

Re:Where did this come from

[Anonymous Coward]

The term "hacktivism" has been around since at least 1999, in the hacker/cracker e-zines.
I had a CD full of various e-zines, including the whole collection of PHRACK/CDC/LoD at the time, it was certainly on the CD.

Dear Slashdot, this is a joke site.

This same site is reporting the TSA has integrated full body scanners with Facebook [tumblr.com].

Now, if Slashdot wishes to be taken as seriously as Wonder-Tonic or The ONION ...

Actually, its kind of funny. The users on 4chan are quite an eclectic and interesting blend of anarchists once you get beyond the 14 y-o fanboys and old pederasts who troll the boards.
