How To Know If Your Child Is A Hacker

It's a bit old but still funny. I still have it bookmarked.

8. Is your son obsessed with "Lunix"?

BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.

Your son may try to install "lunix" on your hard drive. If he is careful, you may not notice its presence, however, lunix is a capricious beast, and if handled incorrectly, your son may damage your computer, and even break it completely by deleting Windows, at which point you will have to have your computer repaired by a professional.

If you see the word "LILO" during your windows startup (just after you turn the machine on), your son has installed lunix. In order to get rid of it, you will have to send your computer back to the manufacturer, and have them fit a new hard drive. Lunix is extremely dangerous software, and cannot be removed without destroying part of your hard disk surface.

more "stuff" from this guy.

There is another site that I came across and still check from time to time.
I am not sure if this is satire or if these folks are serious.
It may be that they really are idiots.

Folks,
we at ShelleyTheRepublican said it all along: Linux is utterly un-American, linux is harmful to our society, it’s unsafe and it’s basically just Russian spyware! No true American will ever even consider using anything else then the good old Windows!

I just recently found out that there is actually a Satanic edition of the Linux game called: “Ubuntu”.

One of the questions I get asked the most is, “Billy Bob, how the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks can you live in a city where every time you walk out the door you run the risk of getting raped by a homo, injected with marihuana, assaulted by demon rap music or shot by a negro?”
 
Ahahahahaha. Bonzai Buddy! If that's hackerware I wonder what they'd say about Wiretap, Vidalia and ... Better stop there.

* A person who enjoys learning details of a programming language or system
* A person who enjoys actually doing the programming rather than just theorizing about it
* A person capable of appreciating someone else's hacking
* A person who picks up programming quickly
* A person who is an expert at a particular programming language or system, as in "Unix hacker"
Cracker--
http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid14_gci211852,00.html

DEFINITION - A cracker is someone who breaks into someone else's computer system, often on a network; bypasses passwords or licenses in computer programs; or in other ways intentionally breaches computer security. A cracker can be doing this for profit, maliciously, for some altruistic purpose or cause, or because the challenge is there. Some breaking-and-entering has been done ostensibly to point out weaknesses in a site's security system.
