Simple attacks, sure, but why do something complex when a simple attack will work?

Why assume they can do more?

If there's anything that the last ten years have taught me about security (albeit not computer security), a lot of simple attacks can make for a lot of problems, especially when the attacker is hard to pin down.

Kyoko, I mean that more generally: complex attacks are cool to come up with (or, in my case, detect), but most scenarios don't need them. It's not a question of whether Lulzsec can do more, but whether (almost) anybody needs to do more.

Anyway, what were people doing while the server was down?

I was sleeping through most of it, then I did some of this: UT99

No doubt, but y'know. Between the awesomeness and splendid morbidity and all that, I like to analyze the psychobabble inherent in the film. Case in point, my friends and I argue to this day on what exactly Pyramid Head is.

I say he's the absent father figure for the little girl, some kind of personified Freudian all-punishing superego she imagined in her pursuit of safety.

They insist he's just some kind of obscure masculinity symbol that wanders around killing womenfolk.

I say bunk. >>

CNN had a little blurb about it, mostly yesterday's attack on the US Senate's website. They defined 'lulz' as 'hacker speak for laugh'. Lulz; I'm now a hacker.

Thing is, Pyramid Head's origin is in Silent Hill 2, which precedes the movie and lacks little girls.

It does, however, contain a seriously messed-up male protagonist and ...

[spoiler]... an "idealized" (that is, modified to match his internal preferences, certainly not Platonic in any sense) incarnation of his lovely wife, whom he mercy-killed in her hospital bed and suffers agonizing guilt over.

Pyramid Head spends that entire game haunting the protagonist and murdering that idealized incarnation, over and over again. By skewering her with pointy objects, no less. [/spoiler]

I'm with your friends on this one.
