Remember remember

[Bob Roger]

I'm I the first to notice? DPR changed the launch date in his signature from "to be announced" to "remember remember". It was done a few hours ago but I don't see anything about it here on the forums.

[Yoda]

Thought it was on a Tuesday, 3:15 PT October 1st?  Yet I guess today is close enough.

[sevensix76]

Less then two weeks to go then :-)

[Cimicon-rep]

Gunpowder, treason and plot...

[Sheesh]

the 2nd of October

I still don't get it

[FriendOfTheDevil]

the 2nd of October

I still don't get it

Is a battle call of 'Anonymous'
check out the phrase on google/youtube

It is the date (back in 1600's i think) when an anti-authoritarian man bombed British Parliament. Also accepted by many anons as the day of their founding.

Its from a movie.  Thats means in the next two weeks.  The gunpowder rebellion right?

[Cailieg]

If indeed it means the 5th of November I consider it a brilliant choice.

V for Vendetta is a brilliant movie.

Bravo for the choice good sir.

Guess the misses is taking the kids to see the firework alone this year i will be busy making listings ;]

[Ketatmine]

You people do realize the saying didn't stem from the movie, right?

[Frosty]

You people do realize the saying didn't stem from the movie, right?

LOL. My thoughts.

[Bungee54]

The good thing is at least everyone knows the meaning lol

[Thirtyrox]

Never even saw the movie, in fact, I didn't even know it was made famous in a movie!

You missed a great piece

shit if the site goes live 11/5 that would be ultimate.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.

It's Guy Fawkes night, a British tradition.

V for Vendetta was a critically acclaimed graphic novel many years before the movie release. As an avid Alan Moore fangirl, I find myself getting quite defensive over Anonymous's adoption of the V masks as well as the assumption that it's some random Hollywood creation that people have latched onto. Mostly because many of the protests Anonymous have been involved in since going 'mainstream' centre around the ideals of socialism, which doesn't play well with my libertarian and anarchist principles. V was an anarchist, not a socialist. But, I'm being picky.

As for the movie, don't get me wrong, I really like it, it just doesn't compare to the original graphic novel. Particularly considering the depths the novel explores that the movie skims over or alters. For those who did enjoy the movie, I thoroughly recommend reading both V for Vendetta and Watchmen, both are works of art. Now that I'm suitably disgruntled I'll go back to hibernating in my geek-den

Peace,

Sugarleaf

PS. I love the idea of the 5th as release day.

[Heisenberg2.0]

I noticed he just changed it yesterday all right,

Would be really great if the new DPR has a bit of civil disobedience planned as well.
After all they are not relaunching Silk Road the website but Silk Road the movement.

Edit, Since we have "V" here building a "distribution team" could this mean they are planning something more?
Maybe they will use the team to spread a viral video message from DPR or is that going a bit too much down the anonymous way.
Whatever happens I hope the re-launch of Silk Road proves a media bigger party than the ones the cops had after shutting the old site down.

Agreed. That would be fantastic.

Yeah, I keep meaning to pick up the V for Vendetta novel - I did love the film soooo much! Even the cheesy bits. I have read Watchmen, which I liked, and I thought the movie was a pretty true adaptation, just a shame it was so long and boring in the end. I guess that's why they cut stuff out for movies - they'd be too slow otherwise.... If you're into graphic novels and need something to read while hibernating, you should read 'The Invisible' (if you haven't already) - I'm getting into that and it rocks!

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

V for Vendetta is a great book. I would recommend picking up a copy when you get the chance.

I got a copy of the graphic novel for Christmas, and haven't read it yet.  Thanks for reminding me...

[BettyBoop]

Oh Hell Yes!!

5th of November is a date to look forward to

[anontoker]

I enjoyed the movie. I believe I will peruse the book over holiday.

I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving because I have more to give thanks for this year.

[Doink]

12 days.

Cannot wait.

[Alfred]

I am marking my calendar as we speak.  I am marking it for the 7th of November though because I assume that will be the first time the crowds have abated enough for a simple buyer like myself to get on and buy what I need. 

[ManInTheMirror]

Remember Remember, at least one Fed is a member.
Cocaine-Powder, MDMA and Pot.
I see no reason why Silk Road,
should ever be forgot.

Wasn't from a movie, it actually happened. Guy Fawkes (the man the anonymous mask is based on) tried to blow up the parliment building on the 5th of November.

Not the movie.  But it was called the gunpowder rebellion. lol 

[Sleepadelic]

There is actually an event called guy fawkes night in england. I think they are celebrating the fact that the attempt to blow the parliament to rubbles failed though

[Bob Roger]

Yea, the celebration in England is actually aimed at mocking Guy Fawkes failed attempt.
As for the graphic novel, I didn't even knew it existed so I'll have to check it out.
Maybe it's about time the DPR bookclub was started again after all this

[Bob Roger]

V for Vendetta is a great book. I would recommend picking up a copy when you get the chance.

And is it a bit strange he didn't mention anything about the launch date....?

[sacha16]

Look at his sig...derp:

Launch Date: 16:20 UTC

[Predecessor]

[Mr.X]

uh oh, looks like DPR took the "remember remember" part off of his sig...

I hope that doesn't mean the release date has changed. November 5th is an epic date

[Bob Roger]

"Quote #1: It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light"
I bet the new DPR is sitting somewhere wearing a green outfit covered in question marks.

[Mr. Nice]

Remember Remember, at least one Fed is a member.

Nice.

[GGGreenbud]

  And anyone who doesn't like it...
                                            ...Guy Fawkes you, motherfawker!
           If you have any extra Guy Fawkes masks out there, put them on statues or other public places
        like light poles, or just print out some stickers with the mask on them and "Remember, Remember"
         and stick them everywhere, hand them out, mail them to members of congress.  Well, maybe not the
       last one, but we will definitely see fireworks on Guy Fawkes day.
       BTW, Am I the only one who thought Natalie Portman looked hot as hell with her head shaved?
             Daaaaaaaaamn! I'd trade 36 barrels of gunpowder and a kilo of MDMA to hit that.
           Rub that stubble! .

[ManInTheMirror]

       BTW, Am I the only one who thought Natalie Portman looked hot as hell with her head shaved?

Yes!

[Supersaurus]

Signature has changed to "..." now....

what does it all MEAN!?

[Mr. Nice]

13 minutes and the site is opening maybe?

[ManInTheMirror]

He's playing games with you guys

[raistlin]

13 = 1+3 = 4
4 = d
d sounds like 3
so it will probably open at 3
:-)

very clever that dpr.......

[Jones909]

I may want to review this before I reply.

Maybe not.

[ProEvo]

What is going on with DPR's signature? He is messing with our heads guys!! 

[The President]

He's kicking back and laughing at this thread. Maybe he wants to throw everyone off the date that it will go up for a surprise launch? Would keep LE on their toes and DDoser's would get the chance to take down the market right when it launches.
