Re: Hackers.. "Are they with us or against us?"

I know that much, I mean some hackers are sometimes stupid. Others just.... Try to help. Just saying stuff mean about them is just..... Stereotypical and just as mean as if they hacked you. But ya know, what do I know right? Im a hacker your going to think this is just cuz I am that way, it is and its also because some people don't understand how some hackers feel about being told this in their face. Its like a slap in the bloody face. Anyways do what ya want with this thread. I just can't seem to get it through to people. Ill have to try other means... Ah well.

I'm sure I'm not wrong in the eyes of many when I say people like you deserve more than just a slap in the face.

This is dumb as hell.... Why are we having this involved discussion about hackers. Nobody asks this of pedophiles or vegetarians or any other random side occupation that people have. For god's sake, hackers are not like a misunderstood group of people or anything. I'm sure they vary just as much as anyone else. I don' feel sympathy for them, because I didn't even know that it was a stereotype that they were harassed or whatever. Actually, I don't even consider the "hacker" group worthy of a stereotype.

Hackers were originally people who came up with ways to do more with their computer than it's main purpose, and it started out not having anything to do with breaking security (as there wasn't really any back then) or causing trouble in any way, but through movies and other media, hacker's usually are associated with doing something bad.

Hacking isn't limited to computers either. It could be some modification to some other kind of mechanical device.

And by the way, you're wrong about this.... Here are a few definitions for hacking which I'm sure existed before computers were even created

hack (verb)
hack [hak] (hacked, hacking, hacks)
1. cut something using repeated blows
to cut or chop something by striking it with short repeated blows using a sharp tool such as a knife or an ax
2. chop something off or into parts
3. cut way through obstruction
4. cough with rasping noise

By the way, in case you didn't notice, at this point I'm just screwing with anyone who's still taking this thread seriously.

Edit: Haha, thanks foilman.
