By +++The Mentor+++ Written January 8, 1986 Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"... Damn kids. They're all alike. But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? I am a hacker, enter my world... Mine is a world that begins with school... Damn underachiever. I'm in junior high or high school. Damn kid. I made a discovery today. Damn kid. And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found.

Damn kid. You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. Yes, I am a criminal. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. Ok reddit lets make it...The List of Real Life Cheat Codes!!!! : AskReddit.

Ok, I've put a lot of thought into this and this is what I would choose. Primary weapon: SCAR-H, Mk 17 Mod 0 I'd choose this because it can be fitted with a variety of barrels to make it a close-quarter battle rifle, or a long-range sniper.

It fires a larger-than-average bullet and has an advanced magazine that carries 20 rounds, I would always keep it on semi-auto though, to maintain accuracy. It is a very versatile, compact weapon that would come in very handy. It also has rails to attach stuff. I'd carry it with a shoulderstrap. Silencer Now, don't tell me that doesn't look Bad-A!! Secondary weapon(s): PP-19 Bizon I'd choose this because it had a high capacity 64-round magazine, a high rate of fire, and is quite accurate.

I'd use this becasue it's small, accurate and a good weapon, and has a fair 30 round clip, not as good as the bizon, but it'll do. This would be an ideal sidearm because it is compact, and most of all, it can be fired FULL AUTO!! Glock 29: Other weapons: Ring pistol: Rope. The Disadvantages of an Elite Education: an article by William Deresiewicz about how universities should exist to make minds, not careers | The American Scholar. Exhortation - Summer 2008 Print Our best universities have forgotten that the reason they exist is to make minds, not careers By William Deresiewicz It didn’t dawn on me that there might be a few holes in my education until I was about 35.

I’d just bought a house, the pipes needed fixing, and the plumber was standing in my kitchen. There he was, a short, beefy guy with a goatee and a Red Sox cap and a thick Boston accent, and I suddenly learned that I didn’t have the slightest idea what to say to someone like him. So alien was his experience to me, so unguessable his values, so mysterious his very language, that I couldn’t succeed in engaging him in a few minutes of small talk before he got down to work. It’s not surprising that it took me so long to discover the extent of my miseducation, because the last thing an elite education will teach you is its own inadequacy.

But it isn’t just a matter of class. I also never learned that there are smart people who aren’t “smart.” List of common misconceptions.

The Usability of Passwords (by @baekdal) #tips. Security companies and IT people constantly tells us that we should use complex and difficult passwords. This is bad advice, because you can actually make usable, easy to remember and highly secure passwords. In fact, usable passwords are often far better than complex ones. So let's dive into the world of passwords, and look at what makes a password secure in practical terms. Update: Read the FAQ (updated January 2011) Update - April 21, 2011: This article was "featured" on Security Now, here is my reply! How to hack a password The work involved in hacking passwords is very simple. Asking: Amazingly the most common way to gain access to someone's password is simply to ask for it (often in relation with something else). When is a password secure? You cannot protect against "asking" and "guessing", but you can protect yourself from the other forms of attacks.

The measure of security must then be "how many password requests can the automated program make - e.g. per second". Like these: It takes:
