Robotech_Master writes "Salon Magazine is running an interesting and thought-provoking short story/novella by Cory Doctorow, co-editor of the b0ing b0ing weblog. This story, 0wnz0red, features programmer/geek terms and references, Descartes, "trustworthy computing," and what happens when programmers gain the ability to hack their own autonomic functions. A really fun read...like Stephenson's works, it feels like it's aimed squarely at the geeks' demographic."

      Well it wants us to enjoy it because we are supposed to stick to their stereotypic "Geek attitude".
      I guess they want to revive the blue box/berkeley golden age.
      So, if you don't consider yourself concerned by this story, just doesn't prevent you from being a "guy that likes activate his right brain hemisphere in front of artificial stuff" (a.k.a. a "Geek")

    it feels like it's aimed squarely at the geeks' demographic.

    Does this actually sound like a recommendation to anyone at all, or just faintly patronising and insulting?

    The story just reads like the bastard offspring of "ph34r me, I don't understand codepages" megatokyo and "1337 h4x0r" jeffK. Since when do 10-year-olds write for wired? Oops, sorry, they always have...

    or, in the words of the excellent "quit slashdot" page:

    So, really, it's time to ask yourself: why should I read Slashdot? Because it targets my demographic? That's a silly reason.

    What kills me is that I've been looking for links to a website featuring a man stretching his anus open to a medically improbable size, and can't seem to find one. Could any Slahsbots help?
