    Is there an equivalent to what I've been telling the Hot Topic goth kiddies...

    "Go home, wash that sh*t off your face, and apologize to your mother" ... for the script kiddie set?

    Damn kids. The need to be beaten with an old Hayes modem. This doesn't sound all to far off from what some of the old-schoolers used to do and now suddenly it's a culture?

    God, read a book.

    Um script kiddies are NOTHING like a real hacker or the darker side, the cracker...

    script kiddies are ankle biters that dont have a fricking clue as to what they are doing.

    I.E. the suburban white kids that you see trying to dress like black getto kids or rappers... that's a script kiddie... a poser or wannabe.

    I've seen them, they've been around cince the beginning of hacker or crackerdom. nothing new, they are just more annoying today.

    More realisticly. Someone with no actual power or street smarts.
    Presumably by street smarts you mean the ability to live off
    welfare and bum for spare change.

    Andy: Consider the people and the medium. You've got a lot of adolescents, and young adults with minimal if any social life. The interaction is not going to be on the same level as people with broader social experience. Considering that, and the ability to cripple a medium-sized ISP, there's going to be relationship issues, especially when you throw the sparse quantity of girls into the mix.

    So what's the difference between script kiddie culture and slashdot culture?

    And is this a report on script kiddie culture or a blatant jab at MS? This roblimo guy is about as subtle as FoxNews.
