	I am a newbie and want to know if i can be a hacker if 
	i read all the texts you have on your webserver???





	Actually, reading the texts on our server isn't important or necessary.
	To become a real hacker all you need to do is take the red pill (which you
	can buy at your local drugstore; just ask at the counter for the
	Super-Secret Uber-leet Hax0r Pillz) and follow the yellow brick road to
	see the Wizard who will give you one wish.  Wish to be a hacker and you
	will reap the rewards!

	Hope this helps!

	(footnote: we don't teach people how to hack.  Either you play with
	computers because they fascinate you or you don't.  It's a little like
	teaching someone to be homosexual.)
