http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2001...2056.2147.html
oh man, that was just about the funniest thing I have ever read. Thats almost as good as the tv news story about "leet speak".
Twenty bucks says Fox News will pick this story up and broadcast it as some "epidemic" problem. Any takers? :p

3. Has your child asked for new hardware?
Computer hackers are often limited by conventional computer hardware. They may request "faster" video cards, and larger hard drives, or even more memory. If your son starts requesting these devices, it is possible that he has a legitimate need. You can best ensure that you are buying legal, trustworthy hardware by only buying replacement parts from your computer's manufacturer.
If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking. AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites. Do not buy this chip! This is one request that you must refuse your son, if you are to have any hope of raising him well.
haha thats the best. +rep.

Popular hacker software includes "Comet Cursor", "Bonzi Buddy" and "Flash".
Oh sh*T that's why I could never understand Flash, I thought it was for web graphics.
This has got to be BS. Thumbing through that article and comments is 5 min of my life I'll never get back.

Re: "Is Your Son a Computer Hacker?"
LOL. Old, but great find. I've never seen that before.
"The Cathedral and the Bazaar" by Eric S. Raymond
I'm a hacker!
For those of you who don't get this reference. This was one of the GPL writers doing a sociological analysis of the differences between traditional software developement(Cathedral) and the open source community's software development model(Bazaar). It's a great read for any nerd who like studying people.
"Hackers tend to dress in bright, day-glo colors."
I'm totally wearing day glo yellow and orange at the moment. Oh, and I have rollerblades too.

I use AMD, Flash. I've read "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" by Eric S. Raymond.
I'm always getting newer hardware.

That has either got to be satire, or someone needs to read Rule 9.

Many hackers develop anti-social tendencies due to the use of this virtual world, and it may cause erratic behaviour at home and at school.
If your son is using Quake, you should make hime understand that this is not acceptable to you. You should ensure all the firearms in your house are carefully locked away, and have trigger locks installed. You should also bring your concerns to the attention of his school.
OMFG, Linux is illegal??????

Re: "Is Your Son a Computer Hacker?"
I have one word in response to this article: BS
. I can't believe I just read that load of crap. It sounds to me like his son is a computer gamer and has one or two "punk" friends. Holy #%$&, I don't even know where to start. I love the stuff about Linux, that was amazing. My favorite part was this:

I almost died laughing reading that serious piece of text.
If this is a joke, which I actually don't think it is, then that is amazing. If he's serious, I feel really bad for his children. That was quite possibly the biggest load of BS I've ever read in my life.
+rep for a great find!

Of course it's a joke... Check some of the linked text, like spanking for example (but not at work...)

Re: "Is Your Son a Computer Hacker?"
I feel like going to that guy's house and havin' a good ol' HAMMATIME, lol. What a moron, you don't need a kickass PC to hack people's computers as far as I know, just to use demanding programs, like games. It's funny how ignorant people can be and think they know stuff. The Earth is a crazy planet, no?

Yes, don't you see. All the hackers went into the fox servers and stopped them. They used this bad linux. Heard there are many variations around today. How could fox have any chance to compete with them?
