I’ll switch to plain English, and use small words, so you don’t need to put in too much effort to follow. Try to stay with me.

As MeatLoafFan and I were already discussing, the Forumwarz “Hacker” is, in fact, just a script kiddie. That’s why “Hacker” attacks on forums are on par with posting shock images and insults. The attitude of a Forumwarz “Hacker” is, logically enough, a script kiddie’s mbumive, unjustified sense of superiority at throwing a high-tech brick through a forum’s plate glbum window.

That is why, if you look, the most popular option on the poll is the truncated binary option. It was originally intended to be “No, and I can read binary, so I am a real hacker.” It got cut off for obvious reasons, I found that hilarious, and left it. Right now, more people are voting for ”No, and I can read binar011110” than both other options combined, for ****’s sakes. That is 100% in character.

Now, I could go all Nerd-fight on you, and point out that I know more than a dozen programming languages, from 80i86 bumembler through COBOL, out LISP and into C#. I could point out that I was debugging professional PL/I code at age 7. I could mention how I nearly wasn’t allowed to take AP Comp Sci at my highschool they taught it on the VAX used for grade storade and I’d blown through the laughable “security” on the machines used for the prereq to hand in my final project before it was bumigned (though the only real “security” for the prereq clbum was ignorance and VMS is a hard nut to crack). I got a 5 on the AP, for the record, and we were still forced to use Pascal back then.

But, y’know what? A) Why would you believe me, and B) Why should anyone give a ****?

Being a hacker isn’t about what manuals you’ve read, what conferences you’ve attended, what OS you use, or whether you’ve cobbled a machine together out of spare parts. It’s about how you think. It’s about naked intellectual curiosity wedded with the urge to tinker. It’s about seeing a system and wanting to know how it ticks, wanting to push and test it and play with it. It’s about seeing patterns other people don’t know exist and doing something cool with the knowledge of them. There’s a whole catalog of MIT pranks that never involved a computer, but were certainly “hacks” of a system.

Hackers don’t have a mandatory task before them, whatever you may think. It’s a mindset, not a job.

TL;DR: You’re a bumhurt killjoy fabulous person, and you need to take that Williams tube of your bum. Also, Vanil-Choco binary is surprisingly funny for those with the right sense of humor.

Nice rant. I agree with some parts.

yeah, you know that nuclear powerplant that blew up, that was me

I right-clicked the pic, and it logged me out. I’d take that logout picture link thing out of your signature before you get banned Log in to see images!

What signature? Since when do I have a signature?

MeatLoafFan Posted:

Sorry, not a signature, the picture I quoted (that you posted).

Right-clicking it, and then clicking “Open picture in new tab” logged me out.

Y’know what I’m talking about? The picture that you then removed from your post?

What browser are you on? That should have been invisible and should have automatically logged you out. Also, you might want to take that image out of your own post.

Chrome; I saw a broken image and it was logging me out. And it’s not necessary for me to edit my posts when they can be “mysteriously” edited by themselves Log in to see images! -MLF- edited this message on 04/22/2009 6:48PM

I haven’t figured out how to do that.

Samildanach Posted:

But Who would make that when it has the beneficial side-effect of logging out those too foolish to get around it?

Fixed.

Now, ask yourself this question, then answer.
