2004-06-11, 12:28 AM #41
Hehe... that's great, and by their logic I'm guilty for about eight of those points.

*sigh* I should have stopped reading there, of course knowing me I went against my better judgment.

And on guilt counts I score... 6... maybe 7! And I'm no hacker I don't think... I'm a good boy! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Okay, guys, for the love of God...

IT'S SATIRE! A JOKE! NOT REAL! FAKE! AN ARTICLE THAT INVENTS FACTS FOR HUMOROUS INTENT! NOT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD TAKE SERIOUSLY!

Soviet Massassi is not a funny place, Darko. And will never admit to taking part in your capitalist western "humor".

since when was every bean head that listened to techno music and played with glowsticks a hacker? I hope you all realize how misinformed you are and might actually take time to research your assumptions before crucifying your child for the good of the moral majority. People like you make me sick.</font>

You know, all I really need to look at is the very first phrase:

"As an enlightened, modern parent..."

I mean really, I haven't had this much of a laugh in ages. And that's not even counting the rest of the article.

I am VERY curious about three things:

1: What's your source material for showing that Linus Torvalds was a Soviet Hacker, that Mandrake is a 'hacking program', and that Snow Crash is a 'manual'? Furthermore, I'd like to see where you got the hilarious notion that AMD isn't a legitimate company. You cannot MAKE PROCESSORS in third world sweatshops when the premium for quality is beyond levels of microns.

2: What EXACTLY did you accuse your son of doing, and what EXACTLY are your definitions of 'hacking'?

3: Have you ever considered the notion that your son's 'argumentative and surly behavior' are the products of your utterly amusing ignorance? But then, I guess your 'computer hacker' son doesn't find it all that funny.



... "As an enlightened, modern parent..."

*snerk*</font>


And so on.. for 10 pages.. i really can't help but imagine how many of those Anonymous Reader comments are from incensed unwashed /.ers.


And Darko, have i told you recently how much i love you? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Edit: If there is still any confusion in your minds, i suggest you read this:
