Ok, I'm finally fed up with
this situation. After watching it go on forever in chat rooms,
and wherever people new to the scene go to ask questions, these
"holier than thou" types are seriously making it worse. I'm
talking about the kind who look down apon the people who ask the
questions they most likely did at one time or another.
Think for a moment
folks.. Where did you start? I'm sure you weren't born with a
unix manual in your hand, and all of that info you have now stored in
your head. Well, you say you learned it all by
yourself? Well, someone had to post all of those
websites, and if somehow you absorbed it all...good for
you. Not everyone can be a super computer
genius.
If we all kept to
ourselves, and we all horded information, where would we be technology
wise? In the stone-age. That's right. If someone has
the desire to learn, teach them. This doesn't mean go out
of your way and spend all your time doing it, that's not my
point here. The point is not to laugh at those who have a desire
to learn, just as you and I have. If you don't try
somewhat to teach them the right way, they'll keep doing their
thing and not know that they're totally missing out on the real
deal. For those that tell them to go away and ignore them,
it really comes down to it being that it's your fault that they stay
the way they do.
Another thing. I'd like to
think of the hacking scene as my friend does the punk scene (Dnile).
If there's a "poser", or a "wanna-be", or whatever
you prefer, instead of laughing and letting them stay in that state
forever, what would they do? A real punk would help them out,
and tell them maybe albums they should buy to get a feel for a new
sound, or maybe tell him/her of some shows to go see to get a
taste for a different kind of music. Bottom line, you need
an open mind, you need to help your fellow man, in order to make
everything work. What good do you do if you scoff at the "newbies"?
None.. you're not showing the true spirit of a hacker, you're
just being a selfish egomaniac.
Just for the record, I'd like to say
that no, I don't think of myself as punk. Not because I don't
wear "punk clothes", or have a mo-hawk, that's
not what it's about. It's not about what you look like, it's
about your attitude in general, which applies to what I'm
saying. I think of myself as a raver. I have a love for
electronic music, and I love the whole scene, the unity. I
also like classical rock, black metal, etc.. It all starts
with an open mind. But what all or most of these scenes are
about is one person bettering the next. P.L.U.R- Peace, love,
unity, respect. If you've read this far down and have loved
it, great. If you have read this far down and for some
reason or another hated it, I've still gotten the message across
to you, which is my objective here.
