Is your son a computer hacker?

Is your son a computer hacker? Do you have programs such as 'Comet Cursor' and 'Flash' which you don't remember installing? Does he want an AMD processor? Is your son obsessed with 'Linux'? Then he is a hacker!

They hack into NASA 5%
They steal things 4%
They are violent sociopaths 4%
They use amphetamines and speed 7%

. Lunix is extremely dangerous software, and cannot be removed without destroying part of your hard disk surface.

Software can't destroy hardware, a lot of this page is an overreaction.

It's satirical, through and through.

come on, that's all tongue-in-cheek, obviously...
and it's quite hilarious at that :) I had a few good laughs reading it...

I mean, come on:

Actually you can. You can make software that burns out monitors, rewrites on a hardware spot until it becomes a bad sector etc... but as for this site it is of the Onion blend.

I've burned my motherboard more then once by messing with the booting settings when I first got a computer as a kid. It's definetly possible if you mess witht the main settings somehow.

This was posted before and, yes, it's definitely satirical.

Good spam threads live many lives.

I thought all the links in the article were a bit overdone, but when I read betrayed the principles I tried clicking on it and that makes the article a whole lot funnier! Or perhaps the whole range of people taking it for a serious article
