Comments:'The Regime' hacks 711chan.org in response to 'Anonymous' attack on Scientology; takes web site off line

Begin comments merged from old comments page

"a site popular with hacker group "Anonymous.""

Anonymous is not a hacker group, stfu. The Regime are idiots for thinking they where going after a hacker group. At best its a skript kiddie group, most cases a small portion of annonymous is actualy hackers, that small portion distributes the tools for ddossing from everyone else.

Ironic
Anonymous never claimed to be hackers, Fox News gave them the label "hackers on steroids" because they stole a couple thousand myspace passwords.

Elaborate scheme by the group Anonymous to bring up ratings and try to get attention of REAL news teams at a very pathetic pace. Both so called groups are filled with script kiddies being controlled by a group of "Dorks" with nothing better to do with their time.

Enjoy the Soap Opera they are putting out for you.

Information recieved from "An0nYm0us" found on irc.p2p-network.net

Each person should investigate to their own satisfaction. Jesus said it best, "the truth will set you free." For any group to attack the 711chan and then claim not to be scientologists defies all logic. My IQ is over 60 and i didn't fall for that excuse. Just how dumb do you have to be to join Lower Revolving Hanibals followers?---99.233.108.115 —Preceding comment was added at 09:24, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

It's pointless to go after Anonymous. They're... anonymous. We're only linked by the Chans and it would honestly be a pain in the ass to hunt down each and every one of us. Their actions are fruitless and will yield nothing more than retaliation and the wrath of Anon breathing down their neck.

Listen Regime, which seems to be Church of Scientology. The War won't stop untill The Cult is dead. So C'mon make us lul some more.

Feb 10 Anyone who seriously believes that The Regime is not associated with CoS is retarded. They may not be Scientologist but they are in their employ.

Lame.
Giving so much attention on the news pages (complete with "interviews" & "srs journalism") to this affair is ridiculous. It's one group of narcissists vs another, hardly groundbreaking & hardly interesting. It's embarrassing that these wikinews items are treating this affair like it's something epic.

At least 45 killed in new wave of violence in Kenya

January 27, 2008

At least 45 people have been killed in a new surge of violence that began after Kenya's disputed December 27 presidential election. Some sources have said that there have been over 80 deaths in the last 3 days. The latest deaths come as former U.N. secretary-general Kofi Annan is in Kenya to try to broker a compromise.

Police had imposed an overnight curfew in the city of, about two hours north of Nairobi, after new violence broke out on Friday. The killings appear to be ethnically motivated, as Kikuyus seek revenge for attacks against their fellow tribesmen in recent weeks.

Officials estimate that nearly 800 people have been killed since the vote, which saw President Mwai Kibaki, a Kikuyu, defeat opposition candidate Raila Odinga by just 230,000 votes. Odinga supporters from the Luo, Kalenjin and other smaller ethnic groups claim the election was stolen, and international observers say the vote was flawed.

Widespread anger at the election results sparked violence in Nairobi's slums and parts of the west, and tens of thousands of Kikuyus fled their homes. The violence had largely died down in recent days, but has erupted again in Nakuru.

Police also said Saturday that at least 15 people have been killed in the town of Molo, west of Nakuru. The two towns are in the Rift Valley, an ethnically mixed area that has seen violence in the past over land and resources.

"The Kalenjins had already pushed and got the Kikuyus earlier so what they are doing is the Kikuyus are trying to revenge and get back their places, get back their houses," said Jimmy Mucheru, who is a local safari guide in Nakuru. "There is not much hope for peace because the two groups are really after each other."

The new wave of violence came as former U.N. secretary-general Kofi Annan was in Kenya trying to resolve the crisis. In a news conference on Saturday, he urged followers of the two leaders to remain calm. He said he saw several camps for people who have been displaced by the crisis.

"What we saw was rather tragic," he noted. "We visited several IDP camps, we saw people pushed from their homes, from their farms, grandmothers, children, families uprooted. And I think it is important that all Kenyans respond with sympathy and understanding and not try to [seek] revenge."

On Thursday, Mr. Annan managed to secure the first face-to-face meeting between Mr. Kibaki and Mr. Odinga, a move hailed as a breakthrough. But the two sides have shown no willingness to negotiate issues of substance. Mr. Kibaki insists he is the legitimate president of Kenya, while Mr. Odinga is demanding a new vote.

Mr. Annan urged people to give more time to Mr. Kibaki and Mr. Odinga to work out a solution.

"No one should take the law into his or her own hands," he added. "Allow the leaders the opportunity to resolve these issues - and as I said - including the long-term issues. And we are here to help them, that was the purpose and objective of that meeting."

Mr. Annan told reporters it is unacceptable that no one has been held accountable for the violence, though he did not apportion blame.

Earlier this week, the New York-based Human Rights Watch reported what it said was evidence that the opposition had organized some attacks. Mr. Odinga's team has denied those claims.

Disabled U.S. spy satellite to fall to Earth

January 27, 2008

An unresponsive United States reconnaissance satellite is in an uncontrolled, decaying orbit and will re-enter Earth's atmosphere in late February or early March.

According to Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the U.S. National Security Council, "Appropriate government agencies are monitoring the situation."

The satellite is out-of-control, and therefore there is no possibility to guide it to re-entry over an ocean or unpopulated area. On the one hand, since most of the earth's surface is water or unpopulated, death or property loss due to any falling fragments, which may result from the satellite entering the atmosphere, is statistically unlikely. On the other hand, it cannot be ruled out entirely. According to General Gene Renuart, of the United States Air Force, there is a chance that the satellite may re-enter over North America. After entering the atmosphere, some debris could possibly fall on land.

"Numerous satellites over the years have come out of orbit and fallen harmlessly. We are looking at potential options to mitigate any possible damage this satellite may cause," said Johndroe.

Concerns have also been raised that some materials used in the satellite's construction could be hazardous if they reach the ground. The satellite contains quantities of toxic hydrazine fuel, which is used for maneuvering, although this is likely to burn up on re-entry. Some of the optics aboard the satellite may contain beryllium, which is also toxic.

As the satellite was part of a classified U.S. military program, no other details, including its name, have been made public. The satellite is publicly identified by the codenames USA-193 and NRO L-21. It was launched in December 2006, by a Delta II rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base. Ground controllers lost contact with the satellite shortly after it reached orbit. Amateur observers had been tracking USA-193 for some time, and believed that its orbit was decaying.

Microsoft Taiwan, IGS, GameFlier, and Softstar win the Popular Game Voting of 2008 Taipei Game Show

January 29, 2008

During the fourth day of the 2008 Taipei Game Show, held at the Taipei World Trade Center, visitors voted for their favourite participating companies and games at the "Popular Game Voting" competition.

According to the organizer Taipei Computer Association (TCA), this is the first-ever vote. It has two main categories, quality of the game itself and quality of the presentation at the convention. In the game section there were four categories: leisure game, PC console game, online RPG, and upcoming games. Balancing the vote, booth setup and stage activity were included. If a company won an award in this category, its notoriety is expected to rise and the company could see a great deal of opportunities to market games or its brand to the world.

Aside from the presentation class, winners from the game class were decided by votes from on-site, local gaming magazines, and the official website.

In the end, Microsoft Taiwan won all of the categories of the popular presentation class. In the game voting class, International Games Systems Inc. (IGS) won both popular leisure and upcoming game categories. Soft-World and Softstar Corp. respectively won popular online RPG and PC console game categories.

Comments:Disabled U.S. spy satellite to fall to Earth

Well done...
A round of aplause for the US military on this one. Whilst these things happen, it should have double or even triple redundacy to leave something availible to power it away from the planet, or at least point it at mid-Atlantic. Can you imagine if this had been one of these nuclear satelites that are supposedly a possinility in the not-too-distant future? That said, thankfuly I doubt anyone would be stupid enough to develop the technology - but these days, who knows... Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 17:25, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Why is a nuclear powered satellite a stupid idea? Spacehusky 22:30, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Because we can't guarantee the crap from it will stay in sapce, as this article proves. Also, going by percentages, space travel remains probably the most dangerous form of transport (although road may have a claim). Can you begin to imagine if a rocket carrying a nuclear satelite exploded? Perfect conditions to spread radioactive waste everywhere. I guess I'm open to suggestions, but ATM it's a no from me.

Talk:Disabled U.S. spy satellite to fall to Earth

Misleading?
I think that this article contains a large number of inaccuracies, and opinions/speculation being presented as facts:
 * "The satellite is suspected to be one which was launched in December 2006" - this is pure speculation.
 * "The satellite weighs approximately 10 tons" - this was a guess made by an uninformed source, see this report.
 * "some fragments will likely survive re-entry" - it is not clear whether this is likely or not.

This article needs substantial cleanup. --GW_SimulationsUser Page 21:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * This is a wiki; if you feel something needs fixin', go right ahead and do it yourself ;-) --Boricu æ ddie  21:26, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I was thinking more along the lines of FUBAR --GW_SimulationsUser Page 21:27, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * If you think the article's that bad, Deletion requests is always open. --Boricu æ ddie  21:35, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I'm not sure. I'll try to fix it, but I'm not really sure if it will be usable. I was hoping to get opinions from more experienced editors. I'll have a poke around with it, and if I cannot get it fixed, then I will nominate it for deletion. --GW_SimulationsUser Page 21:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to keep working on it, but I'm curious about the removal of Category:Disasters and accidents. Presumably a satelite being destroyed is an accident, as no-one would suggest this is deliberate? Blood Red Sandman (Talk)   (Contribs) 21:53, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it's just looking at most of the articles in that category, they all seem to involve danger to, or loss of, human life. Therefor, I felt that the presence of the category may mislead people into believing that the satellite is going to endanger life. If somebody gets killed by this (which is very unlikely), then feel free to re-add the category. --GW_SimulationsUser Page 21:58, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay. I've improved it, and removed the tag. It's not perfect, but it is an improvement. --GW_SimulationsUser Page 22:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Viktor Schreckengost dies at 101

January 27, 2008

Viktor Schreckengost, the father of industrial design and creator of the Jazz Bowl, an iconic piece of Jazz Age art designed for Eleanor Roosevelt during his association with Cowan Pottery died yesterday. He was 101.

Schreckengost was born on June 26, 1906 in Sebring, Ohio, United States.

Schreckengost's peers included the far more famous designers Raymond Loewy and Norman Bel Geddes.

In 2000, the Cleveland Museum of Art curated the first ever retrospective of Schreckengost's work. Stunning in scope, the exhibition included sculpture, pottery, dinnerware, drawings, and paintings.

Proton rocket launches Ekspress AM-33 comsat

January 28, 2008 A Russian Proton-M/Briz-M carrier rocket launched this morning at 00:18 UTC, carrying the Ekspress AM-33 (also known as Express AM-33) communication satellite.

Launch, from area 200/39 at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan took place on schedule, and the satellite was successfully placed into an intermediate transfer orbit. Operations to place the satellite into its final Geosynchronous orbit, through further burns of the Briz-M upper stage, should have been completed, however no official announcement has yet been made.

This is the third orbital launch of 2008, and the first to be conducted by Russia.

The satellite will provide C, L and Ku-band communication services. It has a mass of 2600kg, and an expected orbital lifetime of 12 years. It was constructed by NPO PM and Thales Alenia Space, and will be operated by the Russian Space Communication Company, and RKA. It will be placed in a geosynchronous orbit, about 36,000 kilometres above the Earth, at a longitude of 95.5°E. It will replace the AM-11 satellite, which malfunctioned in 2006.

Oregon court lets child decide on own circumcision

January 25, 2008

In an ongoing custody battle, the Oregon Supreme Court decided a 12-year-old boy should have a say in whether he should or should not be circumcised as part of a conversion to Judaism. The child of Lia and James Boldt was raised in the Russian Orthodox Church, but his father James, who has primary custody, converted to Judaism in 2004. The couple divorced in 1999.

After conversion, James began discussing the religion with his son and informed the ex-wife of his intentions for the son to convert as well. The mother objected to the conversion and circumcision as invasive and possibly dangerous. The father argued that his First Amendment rights to the free exercise of religion allowed him to choose what religion his child was raised in.

The Oregon Supreme Court in a decision authored by Chief Justice Paul De Muniz reversed the decision of the Oregon Court of Appeals and returned the case to the trial level court. The trial court in Jackson County, Oregon, was to determine if the 12-year-old boy agrees with being circumcised or if he disagrees with the procedure, and take that into account with their ruling. The state supreme court had received four amicus briefs from national Jewish groups supporting the father’s position.

In xhosa people religion a male child should go to mountain once they are 18 years. They can't go to mountain when they are still 14 years it's illegal. when they are coming out of the mountain they say they are men

Hypocrisy

President of the LDS Church dies at age 97

January 28, 2008 President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or the "Mormon Church," Gordon B. Hinckley, died at the age of 97 due to "causes incident to age" at 7pm MST on Sunday, surrounded by family. President Hinckley led the church through a period of growth for 13 years, during which church membership grew from 9 million to more than 13 million. He is noted for one of the most ambitious temple building programs in church history with 122 temples active and 9 more announced and under construction. With the death of President Hinckley, the First Presidency was dissolved and the Quorum of the Twelve became the governing body of the church.

The First Presidency of the church was dissolved and his two counselors, Presidents Thomas S. Monson and Henry B. Eyring, will now take the places of first and 11th respectively in the 14 member quorum. In the days after President Hinckley's funeral, quorum members will sustain a new church president. The quorum's senior apostle and president, President Monson, will likely succeed President Hinckley.

India wins Gavaskar Border trophy defeating Australia 2-0
I have reviewed India wins Gavaskar Border trophy defeating Australia 2-0 and published it to the Main Page. It's always great to see sports articles on Wikinews, as that is one area we have few articles in. Anonymous101talk 19:57, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Gppande. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Gppande~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:18, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Datrio skin
Hi there, welcome to en wikinews. Some of the structure of en wikinews is slightly different from pl wikinews, so some versions of the datrio skin don't work perfectly here. We maintain an alternate version that works for the en wikinews which you can use by changing your special:mypage/monobook.css to have only the line: in it. For more information, see here and here. If you have any questions about the english wikinews, please don't hesitate to ask, Happy editing. Bawolff ☺☻ 22:53, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Accreditation
Hmm...good question. if I were you I would ask User:Brianmc. We did it once before I believe. Bu he would be the best one to ask. I guess it would depend on your contributions to Wikinews. But ask him and see what he says. Sorry I could not be of more help. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 17:49, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That is a good amount of contributions. I do wish we had some way of having all Wikinews languages having accreditation. I hope that we can work something out. DragonFire1024 (Talk to the Dragon) 18:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Craig Spurrier and a few others are working on the "Collaborative Media Network" as a non-profit which would provide accreditation for different site, not just wikinews sites. However, we have a couple of people who predominantly work on other language wikinews.
 * I can't think of any pithy advice, and as I can't read your home wiki I'd have to rely on others vouching for you. The first suggestion that comes to mind is improving your userpage here and perhaps translating a couple of things over from it.WN (or the below suggestion about football). On your userpage list a few links to the articles you think are your best on it.WN, basically don't rush into accreditation and build a solid case. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Militants in Pakistan release 250 schoolchildren after taking them hostage

January 28, 2008 Officials in Pakistan have confirmed that at least 250 schoolchildren between 12 and 18 years old and several teachers were taken hostage by at least seven militants inside a high school in Domail. After negotiations, the children were released.

"There were 200 to 250 children in the school and about seven militants," said Hamid Nawaz, the Interior Minister of Pakistan.

"The criminals have surrendered to the jirga along with their weapons. No children have been hurt and all have been released," said Javel Iqbal Cheema a spokesman for the Interior Ministry. At least one officer was injured and one militant was killed in the battle.

According to reports, the militants were fighting police officers after kidnapping a "health worker" when they ran into the school for shelter. They were allegedly armed with several weapons including rocket launchers and grenades.

Greece's Orthodox Church leader Christodoulos dies at age 69

January 28, 2008 The head of the Orthodox, , died of cancer on Monday in his home in Athens, at the age of 69.

A strong defender of the role of the church in Greece, Christodoulos died at his home in north Athens, a few months after plans for a liver transplant in Miami, United States were cancelled.

The Greek Prime Minister said in a statement that "Archbishop Christodoulos was an enlightened church leader whose work brought the church closer to society, closer to modern problems and to young people" while opposition leader George Papandreou praised the late Archbishop and his personality.

Flags in all state buildings flew at half-mast as well as on the and across the country as bells tolled. Condolences poured in as crowds of black-clad mourners gathered at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens where his funeral will be held on Thursday. The government announced an official four-day mourning and Archbishop's funeral will take place under the status of head of the state honours.

Born in 1939 in the town of, northern Greece, Christodoulos Paraskevaides was for many years Metropolitan of Demetrias in , until 1998 when he became Archbishop of Athens and all Greece. A controversial personality himself, Christodoulos worked to mend ties with the Vatican and he also grudgingly agreed to a landmark visit by Pope John Paul II to Greece in 2001 that marked a turning point in relations between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches following the of 1054 that split Christianity.
