I don’t think LulzSec and Anonymous belong entirely in the bad category, but I guess there’s no place on this chart for chaotic neutral.

Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at 3:42 PMI think they’re keeping that seperate from Lulzsec because most of what they did after that was simple DDOS stuff.

Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at 11:15 PMExcept those are all bad hacks, with exception to like three. It’s a pretty poor example, despite it’s noble intention.
A better chart would include non-computer hacks, like the original remote train track switcher, immunisation research, traffic light planning, international timetable plannings, and well, anything that gets a system to work in a previously unintentional way(such as, say, using a phone line to transmit an electrical signal at high rates that can be interpreted by electronic devices to transport data across oceans).
It saddens me that people don’t understand that almost all of modern technology has been developed with the hacker mentality. Though, these are the people who decide what “popular” music is, and look where that is.
