Is Your Son a Computer Hacker?
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
(Redirected from Is Your Son a Computer Hacker)
Is Your Son a Computer Hacker? is the name of a six year old magnificent essay on Adequacy.org. Written by a wonderful human being with many redeeming qualities, the lulzy article is infamous for exposing hackers as they are. 13 year old boys who aren't really hackers however, thought that this article was a lie and hackers weren't really evil at all. They were, of course, wrong and posted hate mail, proving themselves to be idiots.
