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. "
Although humerous, how is this newsworthy?
Just when you thought Slashdot's editorial standards had pretty much bottomed out...
Now before I get modded down, I be to remind whoever might read this that what I am saying is FACT. - bogaboga
Actually you should be flogged in public for letting your poor parents use windows because last time I checked I had none of those things on my linux box. Those that choose to run windows when better systems exist deserve everything they get.
Got Code?
Since when are stupid people 'News for Nerds', or 'Stuff that matters' ?
Exercise caution when modding this message up: the author acts like a jerk when his karma is excellent.
These stories are ridiculous. Both the original article, which is complete fiction and this one. No doubt based a small amount on some stupid user and a micron of truth, but there is no way it went down the way it did. It's like an alt.sex story where the writer is some hero with twenty beautiful nymph wives, black belt in ten different diciplines, knows eight languages, and has the lasting power of a steer during spring.
Fidel's story here is crap. No moron script kiddie is going to know how to even _attempt_ to delete the RPC service. It would require knowing exactly where to go to in the registry hive, and a permission change to even let a non-system account go and delete it. And you better be sure to get the CurrentControlXXX instance sub-keys as well.
I know this is just human nature to tell stories like these, and theres some funny moments in some of these stories, but maybe my brain just doesn't work the same way as yours. I read them and cringe at the lack of humility in the authors of these vain works.
Yeah yeah, we get it. You're smarter than others. Great. Maybe you should start a reality TV show with two dumb blond sisters and make fun of people who know less than you.

Easy, it drops your IQ level into the single digits.
Really? I read the comic linked above. While I can't say I'll purposefully read another User Friendly, I daresay your IQ didn't have far to fall if simply looking at a web page lowered it into the single digits.
I'm not defending User Friendly, as I don't read it myself. I just don't like people telling me that my I.Q. will drop two orders of magnitude from reading a comic.

My favorite part of your story is that you explain how you tried so veryhard not be patronizing, yet you use ebonics when quoting the members of the "ghetto" school.
'Cause that's not patronizing at all.
because /. mods are morons with the IQ of turnips. the same people who will now mod me down.
