Microsoft bought hotmail. An elite hacker with a net connection from
Microsoft? :-)

<Giggle> We certainly get all sorts here, don't we?
It's kinda fun because I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

I suppose hotmail addresses are hard to trace ownership of :)

I like his use of "than" rather than "then".

I don't like your assumption that "his" is the right pronoun!
(But I'd bet about 100 to 1 that you're right :-).

why don't you geniuses get back to the original question, which is how to
hack?
I'd also like some info.

By "hack" do you mean gaining access to or on systems that you are
theoretically not supposed to have?
Basic question is, why bother? If you can reliably do complex things
on computers correctly, then you are highly employable. Not only will
people happily give you more access than you know what to do with, but they'll
pay you good money.
Because it is so easy to earn lots of money using technical knowledge to do
constructive things, it's not particularly surprising that the people who are
into "hacking" systems almost universally are either (1) totally lacking in
any real technical knowledge, or (2) otherwise so confused and disoriented
that they can't hold down real jobs. Well, there are also a few marooned in
places like Russia and Romania who, due to the economic situations there, have
a hard time finding any constructive use for their skills. That's why a
significant percentage of the very rare intelligent hackers come from places
like that.
Anyway, that's what people are joking about here. It's very hard to take
seriously anyone who asks for help on how to commit a crime in a public
forum.

Well put. I'd venture that we have here on Grex many that could hack circles
around "cyberkiller", but that have more useful, interesting, enjoyable, or
remunerative things to do with their skills. I'm not among them, but even
the objective of "hacking" to harm or snoop in other systems, strikes me
as childish, puerile, uneducated, and lame.

My definitions: Hacking - the ability to use tools & techniques to find out
things or "get things to work" when the standard methods to do this are
unavailable or ineffective. Cracking - using Hacking for illegitimate,
harmful, etc. purposes, such as breaking into a computer system.

That's usually the way I use the term "hacking" also.

My dictionary does not give a computer related definition, but other
interesting meanings, in addition to a cough or a cab, are: literary drudge;
to make a word trite; to kick someone's shins (in football or basketball);
and of course, to chop or mangle.

I'm beginning to suspect that cyberkiller just tossed this item out to
get attention, and hasn't been back.
