I love books, don't get me wrong, but I love books if they are hardback, paperback, or epub.
I FUCKING LOVE BOOKS!
Sadly, I could go into a local Borders and the people were knowledgeable, kind and generous with their time. They bent over backwards to help my wife find books and get them shipped to the house while she was on the mend after surgery.
I have lost many a day in a Borders, drinking tea and reading and it is a sad day when there is one less place to do this.
I sat down last night with my kids and watched that "show"...
To be honest, I know many people that fall into the catagory of hacker, my children tell me that they want to be hackers when they grow up.
That "Show" was not about hackers.
That was an attempt by MTV to capitalize not only on FUD, but it was a poor excuse for journalism. I am will to say that 95%+ of all hackers do not have blue hair(at least the ones I know), or stand out in anyway. Most of us are more concerned with being able to do our own thing, and learning as much as we can along the way.
My 4 year old daughter summed it up best, after watching the show, she started shaking her head and asked me "Daddy, they aren't like anybody we know", I told her that there were all kinds of hackers in the world, all she could say was the ones on the show were "not real hackers, they were dumb hackers"
(I have very bright children, so this is not added to in anyway)
After last nights "show" i am seriously thinking of taking my cable out.
Though it has taken some time, finally the mainstream media has noticed that JP has done nothing but spout FUD and innuendo. Now that someone has taken has taken notice of the lapses in JP's "elite skills", maybe the truth about him will finally come to light.

Once again MTV seems to prove it is only interested in promoting FUD.
Gee...why do I even get my hopes up?!?
