Ain't I glad you didn't mess hackers up with crackers.
Good and hacker/cracker don't belong in the same sentence.

Since I am a geek I take it as a complement whenever a black guy calls me a cracker.
guess jimbo is a white hacker :D
Wow Jimbob is really making an effort to show he's not a dumbarse
I hope you're joking, right?Quote:

No, crackers ruin the internet and ruin programming. Hackers made the internet and improve programming.
I fail to see your logic.
Bubba orginally hacker was a term that was reserved for the most elite computer programmers that would "hack" away at programs until it worked. This was back in the time of punch cards and program tapes. The term has been mutated into what it is today.
Ok.
I remember those days, but they are gone. Now hackers are usually script kiddies who don't know anything about code and who think it is cool to spell their name with ASCII characters.
Isn't the classification
(1) White Hacker (Very Knowledged and uses it for good)
(2) Black Hacker (Very Knowledged and uses it for bad)
(3) Script Kiddy (Doesn't know much, but likes to create mischief.)

the article you posted is pretty good.
I'm half way through and it has some really good info.
I'm not sure why they say that perl and python is the preffered language of hackers. Anyone want to put in an opinion on that?
Isn't that kind of racist? :pQuote:

They pretty much don't have any idea about how the code works, except for what the authour tells them. They Script kiddies. *tut tut*Quote:

love that language and those language discussions tend to turn heated. Am i loser If I love a language. :confused: I'm so confused. :o oh Python how I love thee. let me count your ways.....
I'm not racist, but the computer world has some screwed up things like that.
For example Master and Slave drive?
That doesn't sound to politically correct to me.
Haha.
It's not racist, though. Master and slave just means that one controls the other :P It's not referring to African-Americans being controlled by Americans.
Hell yeah. Why does the bad guy always wear black? why is bad luck when you see a black cat? why is black monday?? its cause they working subconciously.Quote:

that brings me back to an article I read a while ago. Pretty funny. and it is on CNN
Forget all that "hat" stuff.. If you're gonna be a hacker, do it for yourself and for your own knowledge.
Haha! I remember a thread posted a while ago...Quote:

I think that was the article posted in the thread! It's so ridiculous!Quote:

I think black has been coined for "bad" things because black is a color associated with death. Ashes are black. I don't know, just a theory of mine.
Please don't bump these old threads.
