Still Waters Posted November 5, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2012 A series of website hacks over the past 24 hours has been attributed to the online hacktivist group Anonymous. The websites of US broadcaster NBC, pop singer Lady Gaga and the Australian government have all been attacked. Some of the hacked websites displayed a rhyme about 5 November, when Guy Fawkes's attempt to destroy Parliament in 1605 is marked in the UK. http://www.bbc.co.uk...nology-20204631 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffey Posted November 6, 2012 #4 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Ugh. I wish they would give it up already. They're just irritating now. That's great, but when you have no freedom whatsoever on the internet (giving opinions or uploading things to youtube etc) just remember that these people where fighting for YOUR freedom while you where bad mouthing them. I wonder why Lady Gaga was targeted. Just popular, so their point would hit a wider audience. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Fawkes was the last man to enter the houses of parliament with good intentions. Ha Ha! Guy Fawkes tried to blow up my 13th Great Grandfather, King James Stuart VI! That's not cool! That's just TYPICAL of the English to try and blow up a Scottish King.... (I'm just being goofy...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is speculation that it was a False Flag operation, with the suspects being framed in order to justify a pogrom against Roman Catholic diehards. Some think thatit looks rather suspicious how the Authorities were tipped off at just the right moment to catch them red handed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said though, Lady Gaga has a wider audience of people who will get the point... Or probably not because they are Lady Gaga fans. lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this out: In 1850 when a second edition of Wuthering Heights was due for republishing, Charlotte Brontë decided to edit the original text published by Thomas Cautley Newby, including punctuation and Joseph's thick Yorkshire dialect. Writing to her publisher W.S. Williams, she mentions that "It seems to me advisable to modify the orthography of the old servant Joseph’s speeches; for though, as it stands, it exactly renders the Yorkshire dialect to a Yorkshire ear, yet I am sure Southerns must find it unintelligible; and thus one of the most graphic characters in the book is lost on them." Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuthering_heights Wuthering Heights (parts of) by Emily Brontë (note that this is very old-fashioned Haworth dialect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAwrence's books are full of that kind of thing. "'Appen, Miss Katie, t'is naw gud mitherin, an' all an' all, so it is, already". That kind of thing.
