Both are just as scary although more people have political opinions. There are also a lot more people that don't know about technology and will read that as the gospel from a well informed parent.

Re: 10 Signs that your son is a hacker.

I recommend Snow Crash and Neuromancer. Classics. Cryptonomicon is pretty good for those with a paranoid bent too.

I was expecting the words "Anonymous," "Hackers on Steroids," and "Internet Hate Machine," and footage of an exploding van until I saw the article date...

Re: 10 Signs that your son is a hacker.

ok... eric s raymond is just plain cool!

onoes! im a computer hacker (i m more of a hardware hacker) but the team "hacker" is loosely used these days. and besides... i use amd and i love it. it overclocks better than most intels.

omg! and im using linux!

this site isnt even accurate.

"BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone."

the truth is that linux was based off of unix and it is a strong os. linux torvalds is was from helsinki and has a family.

the truth of xenix

"In the late 1970's Microsoft licensed UNIX source code from AT&T which at the time was not licensing the name UNIX. Therefore Microsoft created the name Xenix. Microsoft did not sell Xenix to end-users but instead licensed the software to software OEMs such as Intel, Tandy, Altos and SCO who then provided a finished version of their own Xenix to the end-users or other customers. SCO introduced its first version of Xenix named SCO Xenix System V for the Intel 8086 and 8088 in 1983. Today SCO Xenix is one of the more commonly used and found versions of Xenix."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Micro_Devices

this whole article was created as a joke or by some totally computer illiterate person who is terrified at our youth becoming ub3r 31337 haxx0rz (i couldnt resist the 1337speek)

http://www.adequacy.org/public/stori...2219.3493.html

also from there site... "communism and daycare"

RMS is a cool man! and yet these people are stabbing at him.

Re: 10 Signs that your son is a hacker.

Hah. The ones that fit me are:

Time on computer. (I'm online, unless I'm in class or sleeping or eating.)
Non-AOL. (Is it a bad sign that I don't know what ISP I'm on?)

The sad part is, I'm at a tech school. That isn't on the list, but should be.

Re: 10 Signs that your son is a hacker.

I think the guy is way off on the stereo-type of hackers. When is the last time anyone has seen someone with a pacifier? Also, most of the people I see at my school with weird hair colors don't know a thing about computers.

Re: 10 Signs that your son is a hacker.

Well, I think that I've got one just as good as the Hacking one. I looked deeper into the site, and guess what... The same author had another article entitled "Death Machines". You gotta see it It's at http://www.adequacy.org/public/stori...066.17648.html This is a little more realistic/practical than the Hacker article, but in this one they dis Gran Turismo, Need For Speed, and basically all racing movies!
I, Personally am a hardcore Gran Turismo Fan. (#5's coming out this year) see http://us.playstation.com/granturismo/

Well,the hacker article is funny, but is the author REALLY serious? Oh, and by the way most of his hyperlinks are bogus... Much thanks Kristian Calhoun for this starting this thread!

Thumbs up exellent article

...they left out "steal this computer book 4.0" it's not exactly a manual but it's certainly a good place to start for a little basic know-how.

i have AMD
i use linux
i have AOL but that's my dad's fault
i spend a lot of time on the computer
however i'm in honors/AP classes and i have As and Bs

But my favorite part of this article by far is that Quake makes you a hacker
fun game? absolutely
Make you a "1337 h4xx0r"? hell no!

Re: 10 Signs that your son is a hacker.

That article was written by a REALLY miss-informed person. Almost all of what was said in that article applied to me. A have Arch Linux, and Gentoo on my laptop, and you have to use a console/terminal (I use a virtual console most of the time =D) to update your whole system/ install new packages/ anything. One part of the article said you can't uninstall Linux without harming your HDD, well thats a lie, you can actually how windows installed, clear space on your hard drive, make a partition for Linux, and install Linux on that, and then delete your Linux partition (if you don't like it but, you'll most likely delete the windows partition since Linux is really addictive), and expand the windows partition again without any harm at all.

Re: 10 Signs that your son is a hacker.

linux won't harm your hard drive. however i know way too many people who are used to windows and when they see me running linux it looks "wrong" to them because its not windows or mac OS X (and most of them think those are the only two operating systems that exist) and they find it unfamiliar so i must have "broken the computer"

so i could easily see an ill informed person saying that linux actually damages your computer... but it makes me laugh

Re: 10 Signs that your son is a hacker.

I think that looking at some of the other articles on the site(one of the "favorites" that I found: Reality TV is getting us desensitized to communism), makes it clear that this site is most likely a parody site, or one for conspiracy theorists. There was also one (not really SFW, so I won't post the details), that suggested "shutting off the internet" at night, saying it would be tricky because of time zones, but somebody at Microsoft could figure it out. That same article referred to Lunix(note the misspelling consistent across the site) as the "zone" that held most of the "underbelly" of the internet.
