Found this while i was looking around on a forum:

http://www.adequacy.org/public/stories/2001.12.2.42056.2147.html

Its basically a parent who thinks his son is a hacker because he has installed Flash and has read a book on perl... so he's compiled a guide for parents to find out if their children are hackers


Its a good read, made me laugh!


Trust me,

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.

I know hackers and that doesnt describe them.

Have read before but funny none the less, also made funnier by the fact that there's so many replies saying:
"YOU ARE THE BIGGEST STUPID, MOST NARROW-MINDED PERSON I HAVE EVER SEEN, NOT ONLY ARE YOU A COMPLETE JACKASS ****ING IDIOT, YOU DESERVE TO BE PUNCHED IN THE FACE FOR WHAT YOU JUST WROTE, I SWEAR IF YOU WERE IN FRONT OF MY RIGHT NOW I WOULD PUNCH YOU IN THE ****ING FACE THEN BEAT YOU WITH AN ALUMINUM BAT, AND SHOVE MY TENNIS RAQUET UP YOUR TIGHT ASSHOLE BECAUSE OF HOW IGNORANT YOU ARE, FLASH IS A PROGRAM WHICH YOU MAKE CARTOONS, NOT HACKING YOU STUPID DUMBASS, NONE OF THE STATEMENTS THAT YOU WROTE MAKE ANY DAMN SENSE AND I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO PUNCH YOU." etc.

I read this about 4 years ago.

Old, and a waste of my time too. Wasn't even funny.
If it was a waste of your time, why did you read it? There was noone saying you HAVE to read it.

But oh yeah, i remember, you have an attitude(sp??) problem
