I remember reading this article somewhere else like 3 years ago, but it still makes me laugh.

9. Has your son radically changed his appearance?

If your son has undergone a sudden change in his style of dress, you may have a hacker on your hands. Hackers tend to dress in bright, day-glo colors. They may wear baggy pants, bright colored shirts and spiky hair dyed in bright colors to match their clothes. They may take to carrying "glow-sticks" and some wear pacifiers around their necks. (I have no idea why they do this) There are many such hackers in schools today, and your son may have started to associate with them. If you notice that your son's group of friends includes people dressed like this, it is time to think about a severe curfew, to protect him from dangerous influences.

yes yes, I remember reading it a while ago, but this is funny. I like how he -acts- like those parents who think they know everything about computers...

Reminds me of a funny anectode, was in computer lab, checking my email, which was on massassi.com back when it was still available. Teacher comes up, asks "what are you doing?"
"checking my email" "but you're not on hotmail?" "No" "Do you have to lie so obviously? There's no other email provider other than Hotmail." "Yes there is" "I won't hear your lies anymore. Out of my class"

Of course, the whole conversation took place in french, but still, funny... I was laughing in the halls for a long time.

Quake is an online virtual reality used by hackers. It is a popular meeting place and training ground, where they discuss hacking and train in the use of various firearms. 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. </font>

There are, unfortunately, many hacking manuals available in bookshops today. A few titles to be on the lookout for are: "Snow Crash" and "Cryptonomicon" by Neal Stephenson; "Neuromancer" by William Gibson; "Programming with Perl" by Timothy O'Reilly; "Geeks" by Jon Katz; "The Hacker Crackdown" by Bruce Sterling; "Microserfs" by Douglas Coupland; "Hackers" by Steven Levy; and "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" by Eric S.

If you find any of these hacking manuals in your child's possession, confiscate them immediately. You should also petition local booksellers to remove these titles from their shelves. You may meet with some resistance at first, but even booksellers have to bow to community pressure.

</font>

Now, usually I don't attack typos or horrible spelling, but...

...your message suggests that a 17 year old girl is engaged in formal large-scale combat with make up, and, as a solution, you've suggested stripping her of her shoes and placing her in the kitchen with Teller (I can only assume from the famous duo Penn and Teller) to summon sorceresses made of sand. I can only assume that a 'sarciasm' is that giant monster from Return of the Jedi, and that the witches of the desert, who apparently hate footwear but love repetitive comedic magic, shall lure make-up products into the sarciasm, thus ending this horrible conflict.

The moral of the story? No means no, especially when it comes to the English language. It's not into the kinky stuff you want it to do, and therefore you should not force it.

It takes you five seconds to read through a post and prevent something like this from happening again.

Sorry but, Sarlacc and Rancor just don't match up to Sarciasm.

What's wrong with a girl being in the kitchen with her shoes off? Maybe her shoes are too warm to wear during that weather? Maybe she had to squash two spiders at once?
