The thing that makes this laughable is that you are trying to downplay a change they are trying to evoke. Instead of sitting here, paranoid about them tracking your IP, why don't you actually do SOMETHING. I am tired of reading threads of people saying, oh TPTB are going to get us, etc. THEY HAVE NO POWER UNLESS WE GIVE IT TO THEM. So why not try?
Why are people under the assumption that their IP address is so significant? The IP address doesn't tell anyone anything of significance about your location. Especially if it is a private network, which most are. My IP address is 192.168.4.10 Do you know how many 192.168.4.10 IP addresses there are out there... MILLIONS.

Then what do you have to lose?

Personally, I think Anonymous is smoking some pretty harsh trash.
George Washington didn't need to be anonymous, nor did he walk around wearing a clown mask.
Only cowards would run an online revolution under the guise anonymous.

It's not that I have anything to lose, it's just that I could care less about Anon or what they claim to stand for. I have better things to do, and I fight what I consider to be the good fight in a more meaningful and logical manner than some 32 year old virgin sitting in his parents basement claiming to be a hacker.

This is exactly why I think we need to cut off the instruments of apathy.
In my mind he's saying, "If I ignore it, it will go away"
and I love how he ignored my info about it being his router IP
it stands as a great metaphor of how unaware people are in reality compared to how unaware they are of the digital environment they reside in
they don't seem to know whats going on anywhere....
And it's not a clown mask, it's a Guy Fawkes mask. I trust I don't have to explain who Guy Fawkes was, or the reason the mask was used in V for Vendetta, which is what inspired Anonymous' use of the mask.

You have better things to do you say?
So you would rather sit and watch as the world decays all for the benefit of your better things to do?
You sir are a part of the problem. If you actually took the time to see what they are trying to do with this, then you would understand.

I don't like to dish out harshness but you clearly are the one who doesn't understand whats going on anywhere.
If you were to read up a bit, you would see that I admitted to not seeing that.
