Wow, pretentious. Very Gibson.

Also: A "bioport"[*], in the form of a direct connection to the nervous system, sounds terrifically insecure. You're going to need to do some level shifting anyway, so it would be much wiser to manage it with an implanted computer, then communicate with that wirelessly.

At this point, there is no penetration being performed, even figuratively.

*: Bioport(tm) is the registered trademark of BioPort Corporation, which among other things, manufactures anthrax vaccine. The word itself is not at all generic, and the context is very similar.

Point of order: Even if it was scientologists on a false flag operation, they're still part of the Anonymous un-collective, since they were anonymous.

It's like the No True Scotsman "newfag" threads. If you're posting anonymously, then you're anonymous. That's what anonymous is. The character of anonymous may change, as it did, dramatically, with the advent of, uh, "4puna" (looks like rot13 doesn't work on numerals) along with an illusionary sense of community, but the definition remains the same.

Tedious nitpicking, something that every one of my comments seems to be, follows:

PageRank is one of google's internal quality metrics, and not one of the more important ones. The fetishistic importance assigned to it by the (speak their black name quietly) SEO industry is because it is the only public metric. It's somewhat useless, since it's so widely gamed.

prchecker.info is a SEO outfit, and are not even vaguely affiliated with google. I wouldn't be cleartext linking to them. If you want to check your pagerank, you can install the google toolbar, which has a handy little pagerank meter for whatever page you're on at the time. I wouldn't, since it, of course, reports all this back to google.

Instead, use the offical Google Webmaster Tools, which lets you do all sorts of other nerdy things too.

Also: 73 comment-spam a day? Ha!

Also also: If you want to discard all of this as sour grapes, please note that bbot.org has a phat pagerank of 1, thanks to some dead links and assorted ugly hacks. Beat that!

The one called bbot wrote a Rod Hilton-style abridged script for the Star Trek movie. He spent rather more time complaining about how black holes are portrayed than how awesome Simon was for my taste, but whatever.

John Solomon gazed upon Dresden Codak and did not approve of what he saw. (Part two.)

It mainly excoriates Diaz's stated business model; selling t-shirts and updating once every three months.
