All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.
OK, before "j00" delete my account, I'm only kidding. Did anyone laugh? Oh wait, since "most" of you aren't "hackers" you have no clue what I'm talking about.
Anyways, I made a picture of what Mega-Tokyo.com/forum/index.php might l00k like if the "l337 5p34k3r5" who call themselves "hackers" really did figure out how to do what THEY CALL hacking (their definition is what we hackers call "cracking"). I was bored. I came, I saw, I messed up this entire forum- only in JPG, of course Check it out:
actually, even when I was a kid (the good ol' days of bbs's) I was never into being an 1337 haxxor, I always thought movies made it lame, so never got interested.
Don't get me wrong. I once knew someone who knew about fifty vulnerabilities of contemporary Unixes by heart and could bring just about any server in the internet down given twenty minutes and a C compiler. (And that was before "internet" meant colorful websites.) I knew people who could crack any game copy protection within a couple of hours by looking at ASM disassembly. I have a deep respect for people like the CCC, testing system security the way it was meant to be tested.
But those people took pride in a different way than the 1337 kids of today, and would never sink so low as hacking a forum or calling themselves "leet" (or even "haxxorz"). Those who do, today, are to those grizzled veterans of the dataverse what tag sprayers are to graffity artists: noisy, no style, no skill.
Every good solution is obvious once you've found it.
Nah... not that type either. (Although you'd be surprised by some of them.) I mean those who have a life. Let's see if I can find pics of some of them...

I remember someone did something like that some time ago. It's amazing what people find time for when they are bored... a feeling I really haven't experienced for a while.
I have to agree with Solar completely. I can't do wonders with software, but I won't go as low as hacking forums, which everyone is capable of.
