    The page is quite popular right now so it will take a while to load. I tried to cut corners and simply paste it here but the post contains META coding and this site wont let such coding be posted. Normally this wouldn't be a problem as i could edit out what isnt working. However, i dont exactly know what META is so editing the thing is rather difficult.

    Until then, enjoy the article. Its the depressing truth about a brave new generation of hackers and the heroic story of one brave admin who was put up against one on his irc. Its worth the load time.

    Edit: I wasn't sure whether this would belong in Techno-Magic, as its computer oriented, or Whatnots, as its a comedic marvel.

    That guy is pretty dumb...first he asks for the IP address, then asks the other guy to turn off his firewall? What kind of hacker needs to ask those questions, and doesn't recognize his own IP address?
