Hack a Million Systems and Earn a Job
An anonymous reader writes "It has been a number of years since the fantasy that hackers will be offered a job by those who they hacked was even a potential reality, but this might still be the case in New Zealand. An 18-year-old hacker responsible for writing a number of applications used by an online group called 'the A-Team' that allowed the creation of a million-plus machine botnet and a range of credit card fraud activities to take place, has walked free from court sans conviction despite pleading guilty. And to top it all off, the NZ police force were interested in talking to the hacker about working for them, and 'several computer programming companies' were also chasing him for his skills."
What's even worse about it is that I can see being a arsehole is kind of not your fault if you're really dumb (say IQ<80 ). But Assburgers sufferers, especially the self diagnosed ones are not that dumb. Sure they're not geniuses, but they're smarter than average, and they should learn some way to not be an arsehole.

And you can't spell either. Just go hang yourself.
