That was hilarious.

 

[Vegeta897]

I'm just going to jump in real quick and say this is a humor article, don't take it seriously. (to any future poster who may do so)

 

[firenbrimstone]

Well, the article had my full attention until I saw...

Popular hacker software includes "Comet Cursor", "Bonzi Buddy" and "Flash".

Then I lol'd and went back to "hacking". Thanks for the laugh, much appreciated!

 

[B.Calhoun]

i may be considered a hacker because i do wear baby pacifiers around my neck.

 

[Moonraker]

[TCfromBN]

[99.vikram]

I lied

Also, very very old.

This is older than these forums. It has been posted at least 4 times, and every time people are amazed.

 

[Adabiviak]

Is anyone else here old enough to remember when a 'hacker' was just someone who used a computer a lot?

 

[Irksome]

6. Does your son use Quake?

Sad but true.

"I began to monitor my son's habits, to make certain that Cindy wasn't just telling stories, as she is prone to doing at times."

Haha. I'm ashamed to have gotten that reference.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Epic.

Hey guys, what's going on in this Unix system?

Oh god I was expecting a normal article and so said no but after reading it it sounds like I am a hacker. OH NOES I've played quake III :O

 

[lePobz]

I used to stoeld megahurtz but now i has enuff.

 

[Kyorisu]

BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos

I cracked up laughing at this point. Funny stuff.

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.

Thats the funniest part.

 

[Avoidist]

Obv a joke.

This has been well established within the thread. I figured it must have been a joke after the "Flash" bit, as ludicrous as it was up to that point I figured it could have been legitimately posted by a complete idiot albeit with decent grammar.

 

[Phobie]

I'm scared of hackers because they hack NASA.

Hax.

 

[evil^milk]

Wish I had me some good haxing skills.

LOL. Win.

 

[Pesmerga]

Because we all know that browsing a system's program list is a lot like flying a low altitude paraglider over flat surfaced buildings.

 

[Wanted Bob]

Seen it before, always funny

 

[AciD]

I got 512 RAM I need more I am hacker...

 

[DEATH eVADER]

I probably have the technical know how for computer hacking, but I just don't use it because I have nightmares after using the Linux systems at University (Half the computers didn't work properly because the students didn't follow instructions properly)

I lol'd at this

I thought it was serious until I saw the poll on the right.

Other way round for me.

I know this story is rather old, but it reminded me of another one - which is also rather old, but hilarious nonetheless.

Spoiler

It's also fake, he admits to it in that thread, which I once bothered to read in its entirety.
