Nice to have Forum back

Post by JML »

I'm scared... again... lest weekend I found that I had nothing to do... surfing on Internet was just boring and I wondered why. Then I realized that it was because I was unable to read this forum... It's nice to have people, who can use computer and internet much much better than me, but still they shouldn't use their talents to disturb other peoples web-pages. :evil: :twisted: :cry:

This just may be a matter of semantics, but I wouldn't call it a talent. It's knowledge, granted, but I've always considered talent a positive thing, an innate thing, not a bad thing. So they're not using any talent, just their knowledge of how to "access the system". It's very untalented and pathetic, really.

So *you* are actually using your computer and the internet better than them, JML! :)

Hackers try to defend their action by saying "they're pointing out security flaws." Well, that would be great if someone actually *asked* them to try and hack their server to find the flaws, not doing it on a volunteer basis. There's plenty of needy places to volunteer one's time.
