No search results?

I've seen similar messages from google before, but never for so few words. :confused: . What did I do wrong? :sherlock: . Is it a glitch or deliberate censorship? :left:

Hmm – works OK for me, Mr. Scientist…
I think you live in a country with some heavy censorship. Like I do. But here they censor different things. The USofA is free…Originally posted by Google Occupy Wall street:
Would you like me to list all the links?
Searching works fine from my netbook. So it's either a glitch, or if it's censorship then it's in Norway. (But I doubt that :up: )This article about "Occupy South Africa" is a good laugh! 😆 .http://dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/2011-10-17-some-questions-for-occupy-south-africa
The thing is, this is via Operamini, so the proxy transcoder is in Oslo.I think it's a glitch. I just tried again and got a different error.So now I must turn on my netbook and see what's up. :p .:sst: . No one I've spoken to at work has even heard about Occupy Wall Street. So the idea that the Government may be trying to suppress news about it is at least a possible one. :sherlock: .

I doubt this 🙂
I agree
Both Google and Opera have been running some updates.
I got "About 634,000,000 results (0.19 seconds)" so it seems to work ok 😛
Temporary issues it must be. Since yesterday Opera Mini servers have acted slowly for me.
Perhaps Google is no longer your friend… :left:
Ongeveer 687.000.000 resultaten (0,08 seconden)Approximate 687.000.000 results (0,08 seconds)
Is that all??? :shakes head:
Peter, where did you find those additional 53 million results? :left:
I have no idea. I tried it several times and the only thing that was different was search time that varied between 0,08 and 0,14 seconds. 🙂 Could it be case that I get the English and a few translation in Dutch.
Google does serve different results depending on location, language and search history. It can be weird how different the results are from one person to the next. :p .

Your doubt is correct. It works just fine in Oslo.
It seems to be a problem between Operamini and Google. 🙄 .Nothing serious, just one more step along the road to useless for Operamini. :irked: .
Completely irrelevant to the blog, but though this was the type of thing you'd be interested in, Q. http://yro.slashdot.org/story/11/10/22/1325238/anonymous-hackers-take-down-child-porn-websites
Thanks. :up: .That article shows just how powerfull Anonymous could potentially be! :insane: .
Script kiddies are the 14 year-old-mentality twats of the Internet 🙂
Powerful my ass. They released an announcement that they've taken down child porn sites yet gave no proof and nothing has backed up the story. One might even think it was a cover story to improve their image after the kicking they've taken recently and the recent revelation that "unnamed hackers" broke into the Sesame Street Youtube page and replaced every video with hardcore porn for the kids to watch.They're bullies of the web, that's all. When a few of them were arrested not long ago it was a bunch of kids and a 47 year old "man". They're a disorganised bunch of lunatics who think they run the web. They think they're powerful but the fact of the matter is that all they do is annoy people by running scripts and taking down services and destroy things that truly powerful people create.
Valid points there Mik. :up: .What I can pay though, is that if "they" have managed to penetrate a Tor based service, then this particular "they" aren't script kiddies. :sherlock: .It takes quite a bit more than a few scripts to track anything that's passing through Tor. :left: .But as you say, where's the proof? :left: .The Hacking scene is a very complex landscape with black hats, white hats, script kiddies, cyber jihadies, political hacktavists and idiots all trying to claim their laurals. 🙄 .
=/ What I was linking was the page, comments and all.. Not just the blog post! To quote Loafing_Oaf, "So they're tackling the only issue about which there is absolutely no debate, just like cable news anchors. Does Anonymous have a PR department now, improving their image?!"Though they are not ALL disorganized wannabe' vigilantes. I doubt they could have done half the things they have, if that was the case. Remember when they hacked into the Syrian Ministry Of Defense website? Was quite funny.
Actually, it's generally easier to crack Government a Millitary computers because they're being used by Civil Servants. Civil Servants are not particularly computer literate. :p .But yes, that's the point I tried to make. There is a world of difference between the genuine Hackers and the 'script kiddies'. And Anonymous has it's fair share of both. :up: .
That's exactly the point. Most of these people who they're hacking are kids when it comes to computers, using 1234 or 0000 as their passwords. The Syrian one is particularly funny as they used the login name as their password too. Someone got lucky on that and the particular glitch has been patched so that's not possible anymore.For me, it's not a case of how they hack but what they do with the information. Take the list of undercover operatives that got put public. A true hacker would have given it back and listed the security loopholes they exploited to get in (you can't use brute force to get into government or military websites) so they can be fixed. Only a glory hog would put other people's lives at risk simply to show off that they could get in somewhere (in their own words "to expose the risk").
That is a very valid point. It is usually referred to as 'ethical hacking' although there is no agreement as to where the line should be drawn. :left: .(legally, any attempt to infiltrate a computer that is not owned by the hacker, is a crime)In the Linux world, a similar principle is applied to software vulnerabilities. Hackers attack their own systems to discover exploits in open-source software and then release patches back to the community. :up: . (usually, they submit a private bug ticket including the vulnerability. They include a possible patch if they have one and the original developers assess the validity before releasing an official patch.)
good!!
