      Oh no, far from it. Cyberspace, however, is the world of yesterday. You see, in Virtual Space, reconnaissance is done in person, in the computer's world itself. Amidst towering circuitry, glowing with an eerie light, you race about upon futuristic wire-frame motorcycles, intent on bringing combat to the all-powerful Master Control Program which rules all. Good luck.

  4. Using your personal website to pick up women by pHatidic · · Score: 4, Funny

    1) Enable webstats
    2) Look at who has been going to your website
    3) If someone from a college you have a (hot girl) friend at visits your site, use facebook to see if the hit is from the dormroom they are in
    4) If so, shoot them an email saying that you were thinking of them and asking how they are
    5) Wait until they write back and say, "what a coincidence, I was thinking of you too!"
    6) ????
    7) Profit!

    And the best thing is technically they're the one stalking you

      To heck with email... I remember the shouts of "finger me!" across the halls... of course, it was typically a couple of guys, but there was the occasional hottie...

    These were the guys who used to be the heat for the Columbian Cocaine Cartel. Since the Columbian Goverment busted the cartel they branched out into the Internet security area. Why not, they are as qualifed as most of the consultants out there!

    An article on how to hunt someone down on the Internet. A picture of a beautiful woman on top of the article with a transparent crosshair on her face. The article is submitted to a community of mostly-lonely geeks. God only know's what will happen now.
