OMG People and there hack's

[StarGateSG-1]

Omg why does this keep coming up
Why is it that some grade 9's or 10's start learning comp sci and then first thing is they wnat to make a hacking program.
What ever happened to making games and useful programs you people sicken me with your hacks

[ssr]

lol its understandable, hope I spelled it right,
everyone likes to show off a bit, and everyone wants to be an expert, but not everyone can do that, so ask for help lol
I, like many others and you StarGateSG-1, would rather have a game than a hacking program, but now all we have are some old fashioned ones that has been done since the beginning of programming so everyone wants to try something new, adn the next generation is hacking, lol
yes, we all suck at it, except Dan, Tony, adn most, if not all, of the mods,

[StarGateSG-1]

I would liek to have a game of course.
anyways hacking is form my age not all these grade 9's and 10's!

I just like to rant about these people because they are morons (generally, but I know a few good ones)

Kids these days don't want to learn anything about hacker culture, or the divisons of white/grey/black hackers.

They don't even want to program. They all wear a black-cap, and want to have a program handed to them so they can edit it and change a name to their own, claim credit, then brag to no one.

These kids today have no respect. Back in my days hackers were decent, and wore a damn hat.

AMEN TO THE DAMN HAT

[md]

I wanna hat

But back on topic, I think it's just that kids are getting more and more lazy. I mean why write your own game when you can just change the credits and claim it as your own? So what if it's illegal, or unethical? Ethics isn't taught in schools (but it should be), and no one cares about breaking the law when it comes to computers anyways.

If you are referring to some Grade9's or 10's please use the PM methods.

I am pretty sure there is a grade 10 course "Ethics" in my school .

I wouldnt limit this kind of attitude to gr 9 & 10's though, its becoming more popular everywhere. What I find ironic? is that most of these people join compsci just to show off and say they know how to hack, make viruses, etc and then they fail and say the course sucked...

Another thing which bothers me, a bit off topic, is that all these people are like "youre dead, I'm gonna hack you" and then they try to guess your password by trial and error... They dont even know what it really is.

Apparently grammar isn't taught in schools anymore either.

[SuperGenius]

In the computer engineering class next door to me they did a unit on computer ethics.

The first thing any aspiring programmer should learn is...

English.

Unless of course, he or she chooses to program in a language that has documentation mostly in a language other than English. ^o^

If he or she primarily communicates with English-speaking programmers, then it's a must.
