Fuby: You are also a dumb fuck for even daring to rehack my shit.No shoutz.
Listen, I'm a bit tired of what is becoming of hackers today...myself being "old school" I'm doing this to keep it real and help with security not just for the sake of 0wning something. Nowadays people (that means you Fuby) are just concerned about saying "l33t h4x0r 0wns j00".
If you could imagine for a second, that we were to carry the same abilities and powers into the real world. What would we see? You are having and annoying conversation with someone you dislike, in heartbeat they vanish from site. You could instantly alter every part of your appearance, as to be totally unrecognizable, or to appear to be someone else entirely. Any company or person you wished, with a wave of your hand, they would lose the ability to communicate with anyone else in the world. You could be a ghost, and ethereally pass through any locked door or alarm system. You could grab any piece of information you desired from that home or office, and pass back through it's locked doors, with out any trace.
Would these abilities not elevate us above normal human status? Is coding not the act of creation on a God like scale? " I wrote a little telnet app yesterday." Would translate, " Well you know, it took me a couple of hours, but I built this nifty little machine that allows me to instantly teleport myself to anywhere in the world." If that is the translation for writing a telnet app, what would everyone think of the guys that wrote Half life?
So then back to our lives in this virtual world. Are we Gods? No. To us there is only one true God. And that is the Internet herself. All of her protocols, and operating systems. All of her routers, switches, fiber, and servers. Every tiny part of her, that communicate so eloquently together, as to create a whole. A whole entire being, that we all reside within. This is our God. This is whom we choose to worship. So what are we then my Hacker brethren? We make up less than 1% of all who reside within. Are we priests? No, I would place that label on the sysadmins, and helpdesk jockeys who instruct the herd. Perhaps we are Demons? Do demons not belong to the darkside, to the anti-God? If the Internet is our God, who is our Devil? Is it possible to have a positive without a negative, a Ying without a Yang? We must have an anti-God, yet what? I am not sure I know the answer. Could it be all that seek to control her? All that seek to bend our God to their gluttonous financial and controlling gain? It sounds plausible, and don't we battle against these powers? Do we not war against the very idea of governments and corporations altering our brave new world? If we are warriors of our God, would that not make us Angels?
Thousands of years from now, our descendants may read their bible and understand how we all fought gallantly against the forces of darkness to ensure they lived in a world free of tyranny and oppression. They would read how the few battled fearlessly against the many, how we couldn't fathom the far-reaching consequences of our actions. They would marvel at how many of us were captured and destroyed, with out even knowing why we had to fight.
So mabey we really don't need to grasp at an ethereal "why". It may all be pre-ordained, mabey we are just meant to do what we do, and it will all be revealed further down the long treacherous road. Then again
It is possible we are all just vitamin E deficient, socially inept humans, with a burning desire to wreak havoc, and feel power and respect we aren't afforded in our daily lives. Perhaps it is none of these things, yet that isn't for me to decide. I personally like the idea of throwing down my gauntlet, and standing as an avenging angel bedside my God. Ready to war against all that would seek to harm her.
