i am sure the bandwith could be worse

example: criag hall dorms at chico: 3 dsl lines per building: 100-200 people per building

and the worst part: they promised high speed broadband

the fucking bastards

if they could get it to work (maybe?) it would be a great way to provide internet in developing nations

but otherwise new things are coming out with better bandwith so y bother?

i completely agree with u

however...

hackers are getting jailtime for hacking their own property

that aint cool

im a hardware hacker so i know what its like to r.e. shit

good one

but can u hack the mind of GOD's creator?

thebigG say u a.o.k.!

yeah...

i did mention zombies didnt i?

"mmmm.... brains...."

-zombie jesus

yeah

but it is from the people who actually know something

there aint too many brainless zombies here

no offense jake..

but it would be a lot easier to help u if

u stoped like typing like a like valley girl

ok?

and yes there programs like the one u described

they usually come as part of the bios on a motherboard though

Edit:  I should probably qualify my response so as not to offend anyone. 

I've read quite a few posts on the net that glorify white hat hackers that break into systems that are not their own just because they can and I don't agree with this.  They should be prosecuted and the definition of  "white hat hacker" should not include those that do this.  Maybe have another group, such as grey hat hacker, the ones that live on the edge, breaking into other peoples systems but don't do damage or use the information that they illegally obtain.

there are other kinds of hacker types besides dark and white hats

there are red and grey hats

red = nuetral

grey = sometimes good sometimes bad

thnx

i havent seen that one yet

all right im starting to see some good responses

lets keep 'em comin

its not a science paper

its an opinion based paper on what people think hackers are and their views on hackers

i need to know what others think hackers are

therefore defining a hacker for them is not a good idea

but for those who arent to sure about the subject

i mean computer hackers

whether u include crackers in that or dont distinguish between the two is part of your view

i need thier opinion and definition and view and whatever else u can think of

but it needs to be theirs not mine

giving  my definition wont help

part of this is what ppl think hakers are

even if they think hackers are lumberjacks

ok

but what is your definition and view

i can get a variety of textbook definitions

what i need is people's personal thoughts and views on hackers

note:  there are a large variety of the "textbook definition" and they are often times very different

thats pretty much what im doing

still need personal opinions of though

including some stereotypical views

which is y i came here

i knew reso would at least give me the stereotype opinion i needed

reso the media bitch!!

just jking reso

now if somone can give me thoughts that are original that would be great!

tru dat

but i got a paper due next week on hackers

and i need to get opinions from others

so.... we shall continue!!

ps.  we need a smiley that says "charge"

u know like charging into battle

i think u ment

" l-l4><0l^5 pWlll> j00! "

i want to see what others think a hacker is as well

and reso..

your views are as predictable as ever

i just want to see what the testmy.net community thinks about hackers

if there is any debate

please try to keep it intelligent and somewhat civil

is not that

if it was the town next to mine would already have it

with the money u r putting out y not get the big screen?

even i got a 22''
