you'll get a VERY good laugh of this one:
http://neworder.box.sk/newsread.php?newsid=1392 KAH PS. I nearly fit that description perfectly! LMAO builderzDec 8, 2001, 12:13am
I read that today, too, KAH. Very, very funny article. It seems the
author of it knows the basics, but has their facts mixed up. I highly recommend that people read the entire article to get the full "laugh factor" out of it. =) Builderz Stuff-X Network http://www.stuff-x.com/ PGP Key ID: 0xAC0E7073 (for non-commercial use) [View Quote] foxmccloudDec 8, 2001, 1:41am
No way is this all true, it's obviously a hoax, but soooo funny ;)))
the original article is on www.adequacy.org by the way. Fox Mc Cloud "builderz" <sawran at yahoo.com> a écrit dans le message news: 3C1175C0.BED5DB6E at yahoo.com... > I read that today, too, KAH.

Quake a hacking training ground? ROFLMAO.
Snowcrash and Neuromancer hacking manuals? OMG. Sounds like this person is not just computer illeterate, but common sense deficent as well. Rule of thumb... If you are unsure if it is fitting for your children, check it out for yourself. Don't just take someone else's word for it. [View Quote] captain mad mikeDec 8, 2001, 10:49pm
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." LMAO! "I'm a hacker...I need to buy a new Geforce3 because...I'm gonna break into the Pentagon and their computers are graphics-intensive (that and I wanna get the best FPS in counterstrike!) "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." Good God man! I've been insulted. lol. -- Captain MAD Mike -Governor, PC Addict, Odd Man [View Quote] nornny11Dec 8, 2001, 11:48pm

lol why does everyone take this thing so seriously?? A misinformed parent could write some of these things, but others are too
obvious... for instance, Linyos Torovoltos... lol, how could someone misspell it like that? it is SOOO obvious that the guy is a hacker (not a cracker which he talks about in this article btw) that makes fun of stupid people :) Fox Mc Cloud "builderz" <sawran at yahoo.com> a écrit dans le message news: 3C12DB93.91D4E304 at yahoo.com... > AW citizen Tony M added some commentary about the article onto his Web > site.

The scary part is, even if this whole thing is a joke. There will be alot of
uninformed parents who will take it as gospel. Afterall in America at least we have a large population of sheep, and very few who will think for themselves if they can get someone else to do it for them. [View Quote] captain mad mikeDec 9, 2001, 4:19pm

Ive spent more than 45 minutes on my computer once... Dont think I was
trying to hack into some webserver.... I playe Quake II all I did was shoot some people for fun, a Healthy way to let out negtive energy in a place wheres it wont hert people. I have a AMD, Like it better than my dads Pentium 3. And I once asked for a New Video card... Cuz I wanted to play games to have faster framerate. Im always getting new hard ware... not using it for better faster hacking. My ISP was bought out and changed, I didnt chose to... By all this infomation I must be a hacker! But yet I have no hacking programs... wait... I have comet cuser! Indeed I have to be a hacker, even if im not... This person should get there facts right. Just because some one wants a better Video card, or faster Processer dont make them a hacker, Nether does using the computer for more than 45 minutes. (What If i have a report to type up, and I spend more thaan 45 minutes typeing???) Nether does having Quake II. LOL that was a good laugh anyways... Im gonna go send a angry letter to the person who made it. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TrekkerX Commatron & Athnex http://www.commatron.com http://www.athnex.com [View Quote] bowenDec 10, 2001, 12:19am
