Holy Crap, I’m a Hacker!
A great article about how to tell if your kid’s become one of them dreaded hackers: Is Your Son a Computer Hacker?
I particularly like this bit:
There are, unfortunately, many hacking manuals available in bookshops today. A few titles to be on the lookout for are: “Snow Crash” and “Cryptonomicon” by Neal Stephenson; “Neuromancer” by William Gibson; “Programming with Perl” by Timothy O’Reilly; “Geeks” by Jon Katz; “The Hacker Crackdown” by Bruce Sterling; “Microserfs” by Douglas Coupland; “Hackers” by Steven Levy; and “The Cathedral and the Bazaar” by Eric S. Raymond.
Sadly, I confess to owning each and every one of those titles, and many more. To whom do I turn myself in?
(And yes, the whole thing’s a joke.)
