My knee jerk reaction here is to fist pump and go "yea!" I do wonder though if this accomplishes much. I don't think these sites are really that integral to anyone's day, and unless they can somehow keep them down it's a short lived thing.
- VBprogrammer 15y agoMy first reaction was a hearty chuckle. I know vigilantly justice is wrong but in this case I'll let that slide. None of these targets actually lost much given that they are mostly just for information sites.
- srl 15y agoJust so you know: it's "vigilante", pronounced "vigilantay". There's a secret accent over that last 'e'.
- coderdude 15y agoActually, it's pronounced "vij-uh-lan-tee." No accent.
- LearnYouALisp 15y agoActually, it's "vigilante" with a silent "e" as in "dilettante". -Pronunciation troll

- 27182818284 15y agoYeah. It is true that most computer literate people understand it is just a website going down, but often CNN, etc report it like it was an airstrike. For example when the CIA's site was slightly slowed down it was reported in some news outlets as "hackers attack the CIA"
- libraryatnight 15y agoThat's true, I know my mom would imagine the DoJ site was some sort of super site and think it an incredible feat to bring it down.
