Well Mr. Acidus (if that's who you really are), this is because you are an evil hacker. You start off with a "hello world", move to downloading those mp3's that exploit small children for your demented sexual pleasure, eventually moving on to crashing stock markets and starting nuclear wars. I _know_ your kind, and you, Sir, could be the end of us all.

As a member of the truly moral righteous, a right-wing conservative, I will see the end to you and all your friends. So keep buying your time, looking at your warez, fornicating your linux "box" (Ew, even your terminology offends me!), and plotting the doom of us all. In the end, we will win. I assure you of this. Why? Because we always win. Because we are right. If we were not right, we would not win. Defeat that logic with your "peer-to-peer" protocols. Compile that!

Although, and you should take this seriously, its not too late to find Christ. Let me try and put this in your language. (My minister always says we should try to reach out to others.) "Gr3p f0r h1m 4nd l3t h1m 1n y0ur k3rn3l". Then go play some football. You can live a normal life if you want.
