[olug] FUD at its worst

[Patrick Swartz]

One of my co-workers pointed me to this web site.  This is both very funny
and very scary.  To think that this guy is serious.

I cut out a few, but there are a lot more that are just as bad.

Let me repeat the following comments are NOT mine.  They are from the above
link, I just thought those on this list would get a good laugh.
So here goes...

To this end, I have decided to publish the top ten signs that your son is a
hacker. I advise any parents to read this list carefully and if their son
matches the profile, they should take action. A smart parent will first try
to reason with their son, before resorting to groundings, or even spanking.
I pride myself that I have never had to spank a child, and I hope this guide
will help other parents to put a halt to their son's misbehaviour before a
spanking becomes necessary.

Does your child read hacking manuals? ; "Programming with Perl" by Timothy
O'Reilly;

8. Is your son obsessed with "Lunix"?

BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker
operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos
Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program
called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These
programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems
to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's
stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a
notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as
"telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet
without using a telephone.

Your son may try to install "lunix" on your hard drive. If he is careful,
you may not notice its presence, however, lunix is a capricious beast, and
if handled incorrectly, your son may damage your computer, and even break it
completely by deleting Windows, at which point you will have to have your
computer repaired by a professional.

If you see the word "LILO" during your windows startup (just after you turn
the machine on), your son has installed lunix. In order to get rid of it,
you will have to send your computer back to the manufacturer, and have them
fit a new hard drive. Lunix is extremely dangerous software, and cannot be
removed without destroying part of your hard disk surface.
