QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 9, 2008 -> 01:48 PM) This is funny to me for multiple reasons. First and foremost, because now that 'computer hacking' is somewhat of a pop-culture phenomenon, and in the public spotlight, they make a big deal out of next to nothing. Also, it seems that modern "hackers" don't recognize nor realize the added security and auditing that can be done that once didn't exist, so they don't take their time to cover their tracks or seriously screw up their tracks. Things like intrusion detection system and detailed logging was something that just didn't exist back in the day. I'm 32 years old now, but not only did I hack my high-schools network (which was on of the very first networked schools in the city of Chicago), but I hacked UIC's and DeVry's, too. 1. Bogan High. I never got caught for this one. They had a multi room token ring lan based on an early version of Novell Netware. Owned. I had access to all student/teacher profiles (although the data was scant as they were JUST starting to implement), and all personal directories. Again, scant pickings since I was one of the few people in the school that knew anything about networking. We mostly used it to chat with an early non-graphical based method of text messaging across the network, so friends in different computer classes were able to talk throughout class, while constantly typing, so the teachers thought we were hard at work. 2. UIC. I *did* get caught on this one, and nearly expelled. Had to meet the dean face to face and explain myself to him and their network staff, how I did it, etc. I had full access to everything on this one, including student records, student directories, etc. It was VAX based with a live internet connection, so more or less a wierd system that most didn't understand. Keep in mind this was the early 90's, and most people had never heard of an "internet" at this time. One of the help files on the VAX system had extensive notes on how to use said system, and one of their many login examples was a superuser, which is their own fault. Instead of using their example to login as myself, I logged in as the example, and found infinite system control at my hands. They let me off for this one, and never made it public since it would have been an embarrassment since they published this account in an open forum, however, it just goes to show you...this was a major unversities network and not a thing was said/done. I do this same thing 10 years later and I guarantee my university days are over. 3. DeVry. Also Novell based in an era where Windows 95/NT was coming into it's own. This one was also easy as the holes in Novells software were gaping huge and you could exploit a malconfigured system quite easily. I used a simple brute force crack on their admin account and within minutes had access to everything. Never got caught for this one, either, but it aided my vast laziness throughout college. Rather than writing my own programs for whatever given class, I'd simply steal them from another students home directory, rewrite them and hand them in as my own. It's not suprising I didn't stay in programming, since I hardly knew how after a while. I did, however, go into network security before people thought about security, which now seems fitting. If you don't want your network hacked, secure it, patch it and actively watch over it. The only thing that should happen here, are the people in charge of this network should be fired for doing a terrible job. Maybe they should hire this kid to show them how stupid they are while their at it. A little more on my history. At the age of 12 the men in suits arrived at my house, charged me a 750$ fine for "phreaking" credit and calling cards. They figured out I was war dialing because my "randomized" sequences were too tight. Still, I didn't have to pay for much in the way of computer equipment or skateboards for a good few years there. Thank God at the time such things were harder to trace than now, or I would have probably been charged upward of 7,000$. Wardialing, for those not in the know, is a name ripped from the movie Wargames, which uses randomized sequential blocks of numbers to test for validity. Such as 555-0001, 555-0002, 555-0003, etc...there are certain tones the companies once used to verify a valid card, if the computer dectected that tone, it would keep note of it. Ordering equipment via credit card was easy, as there was almost no security back in the day, so they'd just send the equipment right on over while charging to said card. Getting the name/exp date off the card was also easy as all you had to do was call the credit card company and ask, they'd give it right up without a fuss at the time. Then you have the stuff sent UPS to the neighbors while they're at work, slap a note on the door to "leave the stuff", and when they leave it, go grab it. The neighbor has no recollection of this since they weren't around...but, you get the point. Wow, you know this guy's a virgin.

I'll add him for the sake of equality. Nobody voted for Jenks. Temporary ban for mhizzle?

QUOTE (tonyho7476 @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 09:10 PM) Yeah, but how much do you spend on weed? I guess you don't want to waste more money if you don't have to. In my case, I'd say that $2 worth of weed is good enough to get the job done. Maybe four to five hits from a bowl, even with a high tolerance level. I need at least 5 beers to get a good buzz going, and I'm not a heavy drinker, by any means.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 12:39 PM) Problem - Beer is expensive in the park ($19.50 for three beers!) Solution - A 24 pack is cheap and easy to drink before the game in the parking lot Hide a small bottle of hard liquor on your person. Purchase a jumbo-sized soda, head towards a bathroom stall, and mix that s***. Works like a charm. If I had to choose between spending $40 on beer and shoving an icepick into my temple, I would go with the latter.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 03:23 AM) I'm heartened to see that in this 'slowing economy' that so many young people have enough disposable income to get trashed on beer at a Soxgame. For me to drink enough beer at the Cell to get wasted I would need to take out a loan. LOL

Sounds like a blessing in disguise to me. Don't ever make another movie again, for the love of god. I feel bad for anybody who goes to blockbuster and rents new movies on a regular basis. Your batting average is like .025. You might as well just shove an icepick into your temple.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 25, 2008 -> 10:33 PM) The way everyone is responding is confusing to read. Contenders: Arizona, Cubs, and Milwaukee Pretenders: Oakland, St. Louis, Baltimore, and Florida Yes, although I could go either way on Milwaukee. It's hard to believe, but the Cubs are pretty crazy. That starting rotation will hold them back from winning a championship, but they're still gonna win 90+ games. I really like a lot of their players. Fukudome, Lee, Theriot, Zambrano, Marmol, etc. Piniella might be my favorite manager. I've been programmed to root against them, of course, but that doesn't mean that I can't admire them from a distance.

Do people get their panties in a bunch when they see Mike Myers in the role of a Japanese game show host, certain South Park episodes, etc? Just curious. I'll let things slide as long as the intent is good-natured. If it's malicious, then it's a whole different story.
