What's up with all the Best of Crap
Ok latley on AO you seen alot of What is the Best, What do you perfer, What is your. What's up with that are why are people posting those threads. . I know I've had my share but for christ sakes is that all we can talk about now. It's like filling out a damn survey,lol.I think that it used to be cool to see people's views and now I'm getting kind of sick of it. It's getting old. Does anyone else agree? It was much easier when we could post to the news, and had good threads, I'm getting sick of it.
Some one explain because now that it's looking like it got trendy and I'm going to start thinking that people are only posting things like that to get more anti-points, or to get the most views on there threads. I liked Ennis's idea of posting those tutorials, and the News: ideas, as well as what's supposed to get discussed on these boards SECURITY.
I'm only stating the obvious here, there not bad threads. But to me it's getting old.
Re: yet another `which is better' post
Some of these posts are valid questions, some are clearly just for fun, some are designed to bloat the posters ego via replies.
Let me sum it up for all of you:
---------------------------------------
Best OS = *any* Open Source OS
PC vs. MAC = neither, Alpha's and any 64bit arch. totally rule
Porgramming Language = any you can actually write code in.
Whit, Black, Gery hat = white
Age = between 1 and 999 to the 100th power
Chucky vs. Tux = Tux if enabled with UberQuakeSkill, else Chucky
All your base belong to us = yes
best pet = any you care to dream of, better if attainable
Location = somewhere in this Universe
Connection = one that can do tcp/ip und udp, eles UUCP
a hacker is = a very generic term, often mis-used.
best signature = *yours*
how much wood could a wood chuck chuck = eleventeen
bill gates is the anit-christ = if M$ user =no, else yes
hope that helped

Corrected for (My) spelling mistakes, and some sort of soft reply to my reply.
Let me sum it up for all of you:
---------------------------------------
> Best OS = unix, >Open Source Unix, there are ones out there that are almost as bad as MS for licensing and other rhetoric BS. ex: AT&T, and others, if you can afford these and don't need the source code for anything more power to you.
> PC vs. MAC = pc, >PC is ok. Alpha's are expensive, but they make PC's look like last decades technology.
> Programming Language = assembly, >if (&user) can actually code in it great, else no point in debating it, how would they know.
> Whit(e), Black, Grey hat = white, >definitely
> Age = 21, > that is yours, I know a 63 year old that knows an absolutely mind blowing amount of stuff. He is an UberHacker.

> Chucky vs. Tux = who? > Chucky is the *name* of the daemon character associated with Unix, especially FreeBSD. Named chucky for his green converse sneekers aka chuck D's.
