I think making computer hackers mad is the last thing I want to do. I'm worried you all are going to try and blow up my computer for posting on your forum with personal garbage. I'm really appologetic. I Think I'll go now, so have a nice day

WTF?

[mcleano]

WTF?

Didn't you know us "hackers" could do that? ;)

[Albatross]

Don't worry, most of us hackers here are either white- or grey-hat hackers. We wouldn't blow up your computer for posting garbage on this forum. We might take out a couple of servers if they have child porn on them, maybe also a few government servers while we're at it, but I doubt any of us would blow up your computer.

90% of people that claim to be hackers can barely write code...

[Duthomhas]

Yes, but 87% of all statistics are made up on the spot...

:-]

[edit] I think the number of hacker wannabees is actually much higher... [/edit]

[Albatross]

Actually, I think Return 0's statistic might just fall into the 131% that isn't made up.

There are a lot of script kiddies and crackers who couldn't write the Hello World program in Ruby to save their lives after visiting the front page of the Ruby website.

Yes, and as you can see from my edit, I think that the percentage of people that clam to be hackers but are actually total losers should be much higher than 90%.
