Since they obsequiously go out of their way not to mention what OS was running the website, I'll assume it was Linux. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Just goes to show you that nothing can ever be totally secure.

    Those RIAA crackers should start demanding full-time pay from the RIAA from all the "redesign" work they've been doing lately. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    BTW, if anyone confuses <b>hackers</b> with <b>crackers</b> in this thread, I'm going to be throughly **** off.

    When I saw your post Doom, the first thing I thought of was that the movie Hackers was cheesy. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Which it was. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Thank you TikiTorchBob.

    Hackers don't do anything illegal - unless you consider increasing knowledge illegal, which is how the media views it. If you write a lot of code, you're a hacker as well.

    The crackers are the ones that are always in the news - DoS attacks, virus writers, breaking into systems with malicious intent, defacing websites, etc.

    Hackers have been getting a bad rep for decades because of the actions of crackers. <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Actually, digital trespassing is a crime. Gaining access to a system you are not allowed to have access to is a crime, plain and simple.
