I think I should contact AMD. They are claming AMD is a 3rd world company that uses child labor.

Wow. Sounds like this guy is not only hocking AOL service (I wonder if he's getting a kickback for actually saying AOL is "responsible" and "trusted." Also, what is he trying to do? Take out the local service providers? Let one global company run the entire internet? By this section alone I'm peeved at the guy.

AMD processors, regardless of where they are made, have no point in being in a converstion with 'hackers.' Blah!


But, as this is a satire, I tried to calm down after reading it. However, this last bit really got me.

Quote:
This article is directed mostly at sons, since daughters rarely have the skills to become a hacker. However, it's just as important to watch out for your daughters. Let me explain.

Girls that try to enter the "hacking scene" try to emulate many of the superficial things the boys do, but they rarely have the actual skills to be doing anything illegal.

"Well," you're thinking, "No harm, no foul, right?"

Wrong.

Girls in the hacking scene are commonly known as "scene whores," and this is for a very specific reason. While your girls may not be breaking any laws, they may be throwing themselves at the feet of pimpled teenage hacker geeks, looking for love and attention.

Do you really want a pasty geek felon as your son in law?

-lb
Damn him. damn him to hell.

I'm consistently amazed by the amount of people who complain about things posted as jokes like this! :stupid:

Hehe, I fail most of that stuff. I fit in with everything there except wanting an upgrade to an AMD processor (why would I want one though when I currently have a Pentium 4 at 1.6GHz?) and using Linux (the numb-nut spelled it wrong). I heard that it was written as a joke to get a lot of kids in trouble when their parents read it.

Where did you find that is says it's satire? The site's mission statement clearly states well just see for yourself:
Quote from their mission statement:
[QUOTE]This site is aimed at middle class white male professionals - the sort of people who have been sadly sidelined by today's victim culture, and the domination of homosexuals, geeks, amputees, racial minorities and Canadians, who have all risen up with their discrimination laws and 'equality' to sadly control the media agenda.
