Apparently, just about every male teenager in developed countries are computer hackers.

Anyone with half a brain doesn't use AOL. Flash is a hacker program? Linux is for hackers? The hell kind of bullshit is this? I laughed.

Not only that you made me read this.... it is utter and complete ****.

Then I got to this paragraph and now things were not even funny anymore:

Quote :


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.



You've got to be freaking kidding me. I hope you found this in some obscure corner of the net. I'm tempted to forward it to AMD so they can have a field day with it.

The sh!t you can read on the net today is really apalling, and I'm sure there are suckers enough out there that actually believe all of it too.

I admit that I have less free time on my hands than you at the moment [/mean] but actually I did. Hence my proposal to add this topic to the April 1 thread.

The thing is, regardless of where this page is located, people will come there through google or other search engines that will not bother with checking the source or homepage etc. If I were AMD and I knew of this page, I would do something to make it go away.

Reply to WingDing

Oh come on. I got to the part of " trusted and responsible Internet Service Providers, such as AOL." and immediately knew something wasn't stirring the kool aid.

That AMD bit was funny as hell. The bit on DOSing and Lunix was great too. I have never seen the movie Hackers but I suspect the description of the way a "hacker" dresses was pulled from that movie. Good times man, good times.

I can see Jack Thompson using this as evidence.

I know you would, however I suspect you would get past the four letter words that would probably take me out in the first round! I'm an oral communicator, I can actually present myself as half way literate when talking to people. I've spent to many years talking on the phone (support roles) and too much time blasting quick notes into customer files using that techno-shorthand crap.

I've always been bad at spelling. I had to have private tuition for a couple of years to drag myself up to the abysmal standard you see today. I'm far better at scientific terms I learned post 14 than basic things I learned in primary school. I was even referred to special needs for my English at secondary school but after two sessions they threw me out for intimidating the other kids with long words. I left with grade B for language and literature (it would have been an A for literature but for my spelling) and a grade A for oral communication.

I don't mind you and the Llama trying to drag my sorry chimp ass out of the pit of illiteracy, but sometimes you do both seem to gloat a bit rather than show people how to improve. If you see things that I consistently get wrong and know a good rule on how to remember the right way to go then PLEASE feel free to PM me with it. I do actually want to improve myself a bit.

@ Chimpenis - I don't mean to gloat when you make mistakes, as I know I will too. I don't really have any good tricks for spelling / grammar. I just have it, and it's not all that good either (like me misspelling pedantry the other day while calling llama out). I like to pick on you because I know you are way smarter than your spelling / grammar shows. And because you are a jackass.
