The 5c3n3

What happened to the hacker scene. When I was ten, I wanted to get in all the super leet channels and chat with Neo and hacking the planet, but now it seems to be gone. Somehow, the imminent threat of hackers starting a nuclear war has been replaced with an ``Anonymous'' that uses names and fights flamewars on twitter. Why did things used to be so much cooler? Did all the real basement dwelling faggot geeks really let federal prison take them out of the scene?

No. They just graduated, got job at NSA and married to some amerifat female.

Today they are too busy with work and kids to do anything cool.

And the remaining ones are now hobos or insane drug addicts or simply died already.

Or at arrested for cp posessesion.

the scene isn't dead they just went into hiding

I find it hard to believe that anyone competent would work for the NSA. People with intelligence generally have good morals to back it up. Nobody with a soul would work there.

Intelligence is a generalization, please don't generalize

The crap you implement with GOTO doesn't count as generalization.

I wrote txt file about scene.

The NSA are a spy organization. What they do is collect data on things that affect the US national interest. What this means is that you have to be a smart cookie in order to analyze the data they collect and maintain the IT infrastructure that they use. There is zero point in working at those levels if you're not not a competent analyst, IT admin, or general strategist.

Not like any Americans actually are competent in anything or care about doing work. All they care about are cock, cocaine, junk food, stupid TV shows, MMOs, and Jesus.

Remember back when people would make cool 64K demo videos? Nowadays even 2D "indie games" are hundreds of megabytes, if not gigabytes.

Worse, the nips don't know what image or sound compression is, so 10 hour long powerpoint child porn games with ten backgrounds and twenty sprites end up being 2GB. They would be smaller if they had used actual powerpoint! And didn't Cudder once say he found a VN engine using bubblesort? What is wrong with the world?

Some people genuinely think they are doing a good thing. Others want to feel powerful, like a mall cop, or a security guard. Others are detached and just want to apply their talents in a career that keeps them interested an well paid.

People who crave power aren't necessarily stupid, nor are smart people as universally noble as you seem to think. It took a lot of brilliant people to design an ICBM, but it is a terrible instrument of destruction that can kill millions.

Second, they have a lot of contractors doing the work for them. Snowden was making $200k (according to him). I'd have your mother suck off five niggers for that.

What is ``defense'', commie?

I was a botnet, once.

How do you ``defensively'' use a weapon specifically designed to destroy cities full of innocent civilians collateral damage and leave the area uninhabitable for decades, genius?
