Hacker Group L0pht Making a Comeback
angry tapir writes "The news report begins with shots of a tense space shuttle launch. Engineers hunch over computer banks and techno music pounds in the background. There is a countdown, a lift-off, and then you see a young man in a black T-shirt and sunglasses, apparently reporting from 'space.' This is the Hacker News Network, and after a decade offline it is lifting off again, this time with a quirky brand of video reports about security. Hacker News Network is one of the side projects of the Boston-based hacker collective known as L0pht Heavy Industries. They're the guys who famously told the US Congress that they could take down the Internet in about 30 minutes, and who helped invent the way that security bugs are reported to computer companies."
Here, here! And, just for kicks, take a look-see at this little vignette of 'customer service'...
It's a bit long-winded but I can't think of a better exemplar of what NOT to do to please the *gasp* paying customer:
There was this woman I knew. She was a child of the Sixties and a bit of a paradox. She had been a hippy and an Outlaw Biker bitch and she danced topless in gentlemen clubs in and around the Caribbean and Mexico. She was also my stepfather's daughter from a previous marriage. Nice, huh?
After my mother married her father, she was all set and ready to hate my guts because I dared to love her father (Her father was probably the most noble soul I've ever met). But after a weekend in the mountains, we were holding hands and nibbling each others ear. Well, for 25 years, we had a secret relationship because my mother hated her because of some twisted philosophy that my mother had picked up somewhere about there can only be one queen bee to every hive. My mother had already tried to savagely ruin the marriage of one of my brothers and had turned the other brother damn near into Norman Bates.
So my stepsister and I decided to wait. My mother was not well. She was a lifelong alcoholic. She had been in and out of the hospital numerous times. All we thought we had to do was wait. 25 years later, my stepsister woke up one morning and said, "fuck it." She swallowed an entire bottle of Tylenol and drank most of a bottle of red wine. She was in a hideous painful coma for eight weeks before she died.
*That* was the good news. Now for the worst part: my mother died in her sleep six months later.
I don't think there's anything after this life. Even if there is a God, I don't think God could possibly be that cruel. But if I could interview my stepsister, I would ask her just the one obvious question: what the holy fucking hell were you thinking trying to screw your stepbrother at every possible moment? What does all of this have to do with customer service (or lack thereof)? Well, nothing, frankly, but if you read this far - and I charged a subscription fee to browse Slashdot - wouldn't you be pretty red-faced pissed right about now? I know *I* would.
That's just stupid. Computer skills became more in demand because computers became more entrenched in society, and no, computers did not become more entrenched in society because the press did some articles about some guys that were smart.
Nerd rage is the funniest rage.
So these are the posers that put a bit of faux repectability on crackers and a whole lot of smear on actual honestly creative hackers. Clearly, a whole lot of moxie and a bit of media savvy brings you quite a ways.
Thanks so much guys.
Bostonians are pussies. They pee in their pants at the slightest hint of danger. They have small weenies and spend a major part of their lives jacking off.
Straight from Jew Talmud, about their views on gentiles/goyim (non jews) that may explain why they are persecuted (perhaps rightfully so, because this disgusted me about them from their OWN beliefs systems written down):

There is much evidence that the core of Jewish teaching is that only Jews are "Chosen," are really worthy of YHWH's blessings. All others are animals, to be exploited. A lot like the Gypsy creed....Gypsies and Jews are very closely related.
From their Talmud:
#1. Sanhedrin 59a: "Murdering Goyim (Gentiles) is like killing a wild
animal."
#2. Aboda Sarah 37a: "A Gentile girl who is three years old can be
violated."
#3. Yebamoth 11b: "Sexual intercourse with a little girl is permitted
if she is three years of age."
#4. Abodah Zara 26b: "Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed."
#5. Yebamoth 98a: "All gentile children are animals."
#6. Schulchan Aruch, Johre Deah, 122: "A Jew is forbidden to drink from
a glass of wine which a Gentile has touched, because the touch has made
the wine unclean."
#7. Baba Necia 114, 6: "The Jews are human beings, but the nations of
the world are not human beings but beasts."
See the jews viewpoints of others, and you think tossing them into furnaces is unwarranted? I still do, but this is why they are outcasts... I mean, look at their views on the rest of us! They are so arrogant as to think they are "the chosen people" but anyone that controls the presses and media can write and state things like they did saying they are "the chosen".
When the rest of the nations of the world didn't want them, that said quite a bit to myself. I had to see both their viewpoint and that of the germans as the prime example. I see the Jew view above and I do NOT agree with it, it is disgusting.
Raping 3 year old kids? My God!
Jews are getting others in nations like the USA circumcized so they can hide inside by security by obscurity, so they cannot be identified as jews as they were in Nazi Germany, when they were asked months beforehand to leave, in a nation that was not theirs.
They take control of areas like communications, the legal system, the political system, the medical trade, & more... just like any invading conqueror would, albeit, w/out firing a single shot from a weapon... &, I only call it, like I see it.
