Slashdot Mirror
The Planet's Most Moronic Hacker
RawGutts writes "This is the story of "bitchchecker" (the hacker) a user who lost it because he thought he had been kicked of an IRC channel by "Elch". The hacker comes back on the channel threatening to hack and ruin Elch's machine, and dares Elch to give his IP address.
The address given was 127.0.0.1. "
"HA HA!"
Why is this even front page news? It's not that funny. I've seen far funnier things on Bash.org. It almost seems to be that someone here at /. has an axe to grind with this supposed "hacker".

I'd give you a bucket of mod point if I could.
I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.
It may be amusing..but what does it have to do with the bone in my upper arm ?
This is NOT a signature.
Hey look, the hacker has already resurfaced on /. ! Batten down the hatches, CowboyNeal!

20% overrated? Was the act of putting it on Slashdot so people can read it overrated or was the article itself overrated?
/.
The latter is not poster's fault, and the former was needed as the site was
Yes, you could type it into google, but this is easier.
Well, I'm not going to do anything drastic like WORK or something!
If someone says he and his monkey have nothing to hide, they almost certainly do.
And it is on the frontpage of Slashdot so you KNOW it has to be true.
No, I just know that it's probably happened before... and been covered by Slashdot perhaps a year ago.

You better watch out, there may be dogs about . .
As soon as you pay for /. you can complain.
Not a Twitter sockpuppet... but I wish I was.
YOu act like this is a new phenomenon... on any given day you'll find 2 or 3 stories like this, not always on the front page, but they are there.. did you notice the foot icon indicating humor? If you want to change the way slashdot works, I'd say start with the REAL problems, not the stories you happen to not like. Both the games and IT sections have blinding color themes, we get 20 articles linking to ol Roland P.'s blog, duped stories left and right, flaimbait in the article summaries, and countless other things that are IMNSHO several orders of magnitude more important than slashdot posting an old joke that you dont like.
Seriously, pick your battles a little better, if editors wont listen to the throngs of people complaining about the real problems, they certainly aren't going to start accepting submissions based on your opinion of what slashdot should or should not post.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's just that yours is stupid.
You're new here, aren't you?
Yeah, right.
Alright, fine. IF you don't like something in your OSS, you can change it yourself. If you don't like something in Slashdot, you can make your own /. if you want something changed in /. and you pay for slashdot, you can complain.
It's as simple as that.
Not a Twitter sockpuppet... but I wish I was.

You are more than the sum of what you consume. Desire is not an occupation.
Sorry, had to vent.
Yes, you've suffered oh so greatly! Perhaps there should also be a moderation "Whiney", so that I can set the appropriate modifier.

As there is nothing I can do to improve upon your response, I'm simply adding the guy to my foes list.
