Run by the magazine hackerz voice, for $60 or so you will be taught the fine art of breaking into systems. Google will do some translation of the course details. The local police are said to be "watching the school with interest"."

    this must be some kind of a joke ..
    I wonder how it made it to a /. story. How can you pretend to be a serious 'hacking school' when your homepage uses l33t sp34k and states that the 'school' itself has a black pirate flag pirate flag on the front and graffiti inside ?
    it all becomes clear when you look at the intended audience : http://www.dmpfrance.com/zh05.JPG 31337 isn't it :)

    It almost perfectly imitates the way that supposedly "french" people talk in English-speaking movies and series such as Cafe Rene.

    Not necessarliy a good thing though. I've seen that series.

    On the bottom of this page you'll find the following text:

    Last news, special a Newbie course "Language C" has been just assembled.

    Hmm, wait a minute - a non-techie english speaker might write the same thing, lol.
