Hacker From the 'Hood Tells All
Ran across this on wired.com and was wondering if anyone has read it yet. If so, what did you think of it?
You never really hear or expect a poor dude from the hood to be a hacker/cracker...
Seems kinda interesting, but I want a readers opinion before I shell out another US $24.95.
Here is the article.
"In many ways technology saved me. It allowed me to escape from a world of violence and negativity into a world that was limitless and unrestrictive," Nuwere said.
"When I was online I was free to be anyone. I didn't have to be a poor kid on welfare, I could be John Doe from suburban Pennsylvania."
"I think the book will help kids realize, like I realized early on, that while cracking might seem like fun and games, the consequences are real," Nuwere said. "Prison is real. Get a job, start your own company, anything other than trying to make money breaking into computers illegally. It will never work out.
Maybe this is a good book for all the skiddies that tend to frequent the site.
Also, this is Nuwere's site if anyone is interested.
Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.
