A most excellent forgery, and a nice try at a good April's Fool post. Granted, not terribly original, but what it lacks there, it more than makes up for in authenticity. Any other day of the year, and it would have definitely qualified as at least a troll. I mean, it hits all the right buttons. The misuse of the the term "hacked," the obnoxious behavior, the use of the virus, the sadism. Truly a minor work of art. Oh, one thing. I believe the accepted quote from Beavis and Butthead is "Heh heh heh heh heh heh." Granted, my entire experience with those two has involved catching them on news shows after someone imitated them. Well, this one takes an early lead in the competition. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Tommy Usher No Frills Software | Lubarsky's Law of Cybernetic Entomology: | | hacker@ns.secis.com | There's always one more bug. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
