    The millitary released this statement: "In simple terms and sans any military jargon, the unit could best be described as the world's most formidable hacker posse. Ever."

    This, however, is merely a translation, "sans any millitary jargon" of what the Hacker unit leader actually said. the actual statement is given here, extant:

    We call Ourselves Clan [JFCCNW]. Our unit is full of teh 1337 h4xx0rz. They will r0x0r terrorist computer network b0x0rz.... w00t. OMG we are teh 1337. We PWN all j00 who mess with teh |_|.5. We are the 1337est H4xx0rz. Evar.

    Maybe monday is making me retarded... but...

    isn't the Parent talking about a MILITARY Acronym? NOT Computer Industry acronym? Military don't care and SHOULDN'T care if the 'civilian sector' likes or dislikes it's acronyms.

    The military has it's own language and terms that requires as much interpetation as geek-speak or any other 'foreign language'. I swear some people think I'm speaking klingon when I start talking military AND geekspeak :)

    and my last note: I have memorized most computer acronyms. Does that mean I'm not a people?

    Slashdot is their weapon of mass destruction and the editors have always secretly made this known!

    Why else would they have military titles like Commander Taco and Commander Gravy.

    That's the worst thing I've heard since PCMCIA!

    But PCMCIA has a funny expansion: "People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms."
