Is your child a hacker?
As an enlightened, modern parent, I try to be as involved as possible in the lives of my six children. I encourage them to join team sports. I attend their teen parties with them to ensure no drinking or alcohol is on the premises. I keep a fatherly eye on the CDs they listen to and the shows they watch, the company they keep and the books they read. You could say I’m a model parent. My children have never failed to make me proud, and I can say without the slightest embellishment that I have the finest family in the USA.
Two years ago, my wife Carol and I decided that our children’s education would not be complete without some grounding in modern computers. To this end, we bought our children a brand new Compaq to learn with. The kids had a lot of fun using the handful of programs we’d bought, such as Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft’s Word, and my wife and I were pleased that our gift was received so well. Our son Peter was most entranced by the device, and became quite a pro at surfing the net. When Peter began to spend whole days on the machine, I became concerned, but Carol advised me to calm down, and that it was only a passing phase. I was content to bow to her experience as a mother, until our youngest daughter, Cindy, charged into the living room one night to blurt out: “Peter is a computer hacker!”
The 10 danger signs!
- Has your son asked you to change ISPs?
- Are you finding programs on your computer that you don’t remember installing?
- Has your child asked for new hardware?
- Does your child read hacking manuals?
- How much time does your child spend using the computer each day?
- Does your son use Quake?
- Is your son becoming argumentative and surly in his social behaviour?
- Is your son obsessed with "Lunix"?
- Has your son radically changed his appearance?
- Is your son struggling academically?
I encourage all parents to read through this guide carefully. Your child’s future may depend upon it. Hacking is an illegal and dangerous activity, that may land your child in prison, and tear your family apart. It cannot be taken too seriously.
Holy shit… That’s outrageous…
if your kid is realy bad about it and dos not stop wen you tell them to give them lots of video games thay can hack but make shore there not hacking online. there is a realy good caraer in hacking were your kid can hack for company that has problums with there inter net so its ok for them to hack but not online hacking or any hacking that can cost a company monny.
Surely you all know this is one of the oldest pranks on the internet ;)
i’ve read this one before :)
but it’s (still) funny …
hahahhaa
Har har this is funny but come on, some of those questions have nothing to do with your son / daughter becoming a hacker!
Quake :)
I would be more worried about him thinking that sysadmins skate board through the server room! :)
Rofl, This is funnyier every time i read it. BTW it is Linux, And Quake is a game… ROFL. meh, need i go on lol…
Oh Noes!
I am a hacker cuz’ I’m a Linux user!
THE END OF THE WORLD IS NAH!
-_-
I did think that this was funny to read, including the “quake” bit. However, I would like to point out that this little “hacker” of yours might be hired by banks to hack their systems as tests. That is an actual job on the market, hackers helping companies protect their stuff (whether it be money, programs, viruses, etc.).
YOUR KIDDING RIGHT.
HAVE YOU SEEN A COMPUTER.
amd realy. realy. realy.
and lunix…
