Thanks for not taking the angry, superior tone of whoever thought the story of the angry ignorant hacker didn't belong. Thank you for instead being willing to drop a hint in case someone reading didn't grow up with computers, hasn't had a job working with them and may not know all the details by heart.
I may be the most ignorant computer science student at the VCU School of Engineering. Only this year, at age 46, did I learn something about IP addresses. I still don't know how to run more than one Java Virtual Machine on the same physical single processor system.
I'm here at Slasdot because the young guy who fields ideas for spending student technology fees was impressed by my suggestion that rather than go another generation beyond the 386 equivalent which brought back Apollo 13, we should have more help learning the abilities of the hardware and software we now have. He says the tech chief liked it too, but knows there's no chance.
Anyway, AJ suggested Slashdot, for spare time. Most of it is still over my head, but maybe I'll have better questions. Take care.
