Actually, if you understand what makes hackers, hackers... Then the threat of 'senior' staff is as follows. Most hackers, narcissist or not, put all of their effort in to one facet. They may be at the top for a few years but as soon as technology moves on so does their interest. They are stuck in the field they started in. It's that kind of commitment that drives a hacker in the first place, it's the same commitment that keeps them from moving to different fields.

Wait a minute. If your female, EMAIL ME PLEEEAAAZZEEE!!!! Hahahaha

I can see it now, the war finally winde up in the basement of a 'nuked' building and two groupls of stinky dirty people wark away frantically trying to hack the opponents computer connected by a single ethernet cable. They hurl insults at one another and chide and talk sepremecy of morals and ethics until all the sudden one of them trips on the cable and pulls it from the jack on the back of the computer. It's there they all freeze. Completely confused and not knowing what to do. And they stay there inanimate soiling themselves and pissing down their legs until they starve to death. Long story short? It's funny how addicted people have come to abstraction when it's so easy to wield a pair of wirecutters.

No, principles can be overridden with ego. Real hackers are about the science. Hackers that are out to damaage things are about their egos. That's actually what mades hiring them fruitless. Once they get bored with the 'I work ops for the FBI' or whatever, they'll move on to, 'I'm a double agent' so and so forth etc...That's why instead of building things they find it much easier and gets them more attention to break things. No, they aren't good bets.

Not helping an inverted tortoise. I mean, inverted turtle?

Just look at those ads on the right of your 'gmail' account. Stuff like, "Other women hate her." and "Language professors hate him." Really? That's marketing prowess? Like I'm gonnuh click on any of that shit. I don't read from the Huff, by the way.

I think the information your should be looking at storing are what blood type, what you taste like, what other foods go well with you. Posterity is a word best used for people who care about the future of others. This doesn't exist at this time.

Should have been modded funny u know. I mean. I used to work for a paper company in those days and we would have scads of those things. They were the 1.44 flops. I'd take em home, flip the tab and rip the stickers of of them. Never ran out of disks heheeh.

In a world where people are only comforted by thinking they understand how the universe works I'm totally fascinated by the unexplainable. It boggles my mind that people couldn't believe in 'invisible' mass. Furthermore, I look forward to what organisms may exist in that phase. Maybe Deadmau5's got it. Ghosts n stuff.

I'm up shit creek. I weigh 325 and am 6'6". Of course, if the Higgs does in fact give mass, then maybe I should lose some Higgs.

Thanx but no thanx.

I don't think it too awful difficult to create your own motherboards. Just like vidya cards the chips are already made. The vendors usually just provide the layout, connector quality, topology, features, and such. The BIOS is usually the hard part. You can (so I've heard) contact the vendors for custom BIOS. There was even a project not to long ago to develope BIOS specifically with a Linux boot loader built in. Unfortunately, probably where MS got the idea.

You've almost created a toungue twister. Try this, "Where's the warped walrus pit?" Say that lots of times fast. (Hint: Fernando was found in a Cambodian drainpipe)

I wish it was the Orion project instead...
