- p u t t i n g s p a c e s between your words is not proof of your 1337 design skillz
- you aren't cool because you totally smacked down some other poster on ./
- calling it ./ isn't some sort of secret handshake in the geek community - 12 year olds wearing pleather ties and corduroy can call it ./ too
- Rotten and similar sites are just sites with pictures that will disturb you parents - if you visit there just to be rebellious and different, remember how many hits they get each month
- for some of you, IRC was around while your teachers were getting into computers - it hasn't changed much after its initial growth spurt
- it's not pr0n, it's porn, and people have been making it since cavemen were drawing on stone walls
- you've probably read more text in the past few years than any other generation before you, so it's probably time you learn to write coherently
- 'wanna cyber?' is guaranteed to get you at least one date with a 53 year old man who lives in his parents basement
- all those sites that allow you to connect to other people (Friendster, Orkster, Tribes) rarely make connections that you wouldn't have if you got away from the screen once in a while
- the days where cracking/hacking computer systems was a charming geek trait are over - think what sort of 'cracking' will happen in prison with Bubba
- yeah, 'cracking' is now 'hacking', same as it was 3 years ago - what a shame the English language has to change; it pwns j00.

The odds of finding pleather tie wearing 12 year olds is very low these days. I would feel good if I could see some brand-free kids. The youth are completely owned by Nike and Coca-cola Posted by Mike Leeson @ 06/25/2004 05:29 PM PST

Yeah. And isn't it nice to be from the generation who could hack and it was charming, and cool? (Well, cool if you're a geek.) I, too, am waiting for the kids to learn spelling and grammar. Posted by Spooky @ 06/26/2004 12:10 PM PST
