Title: And I thought they were just gamers, a bit on the nerdy side ...

The mind boggles. Do they exchange construction plans on how to build nuclear arms as well when arguing about the nuclear arsenals in their game world?

Too many people who have no lives except searching for hacking and playing video games.

We're different. We talk about the good things in life. Anal sex and such.

And other interesting stuff.

Anyway...you can't stop people trying to hack. The only defense is better cybersecurity.

Regardless of what the Guardian says, we really don't know which documents are real and unedited.

I get the McThreesome idea much more easily than I interpret the odd metaphors in songs.  Big surprise.

Yes, Al, that's very true, but still nothing to rejoice about!  :mrgreen:

Hacking is the new hi end burglary. Rather than blowing up the safe, you pierce the firewall.

Did we ever have an in depth discussion about three(or more)somes here other than when George claimed that a group of women cross-dressed him overnight?

Alas!, I cannot contribute further on the subject on a self-informed basis. Isn't it something that happens to wealthy people only, The Who bassists and such?

Burglary or buggery?

Only thing that's not easy access about any of that is the upper frets on the Gibson.

I learned a new term, danke schön. I only knew bugger all, i.e. bugger off and that sort of goes into the opposite direction!

As this stuff unfolds more and more, I can already envisage the Netflix movie they will be making from it in a few years.

Too bad John Hughes is no longer around to make it.

And Zac Efron is meanwhile too old for the role, but 20 years ago ...

They have the technology.  With the way these ideas are heading, I think we here should make this movie.

We could always ask Scorcese for some input re that fountain-of-youth CGI treatment he gave De Niro in The Irishman.

I still liked that movie.

21 year-olds aren't typically known for their judgement and common sense.

True. And he'll go to prison for it, the jackass, and be pardoned in a few years, hopefully not only an older, but also a wiser man.

Call me totally naive, but I wouldn't have considered it fathomable that anyone so young would have legal access to this stuff in an official capacity.

That baffles me as well, but the government is not known for its judgement or common sense either. I just heard a former congressman say the other day that he knows for a fact that there are portions of the Pentagon that are still running on Windows 95. Even if that is an exaggeration, it wouldn't surprise me if they were using an outdated OS.
