Hi,i found this online while looking around,it is called "Is your son/daughter a hacker?"
One part hwich popped out the most is


8. Is your son obsessed with "Lunix"?
BSD, Lunix, Debian and Mandrake are all versions of an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos, before the Russians lost the Cold War. It is based on a program called "xenix", which was written by Microsoft for the US government. These programs are used by hackers to break into other people's computer systems to steal credit card numbers. They may also be used to break into people's stereos to steal their music, using the "mp3" program. Torovoltos is a notorious hacker, responsible for writing many hacker programs, such as "telnet", which is used by hackers to connect to machines on the internet without using a telephone.
Your son may try to install "lunix" on your hard drive. If he is careful, you may not notice its presence, however, lunix is a capricious beast, and if handled incorrectly, your son may damage your computer, and even break it completely by deleting Windows, at which point you will have to have your computer repaired by a professional.
If you see the word "LILO" during your windows startup (just after you turn the machine on), your son has installed lunix. In order to get rid of it, you will have to send your computer back to the manufacturer, and have them fit a new hard drive. Lunix is extremely dangerous software, and cannot be removed without destroying part of your hard disk surface.

First it's Linux not Lunix :P

Secondly...Linus wasn't a Soviet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds

Not sure what your asking, but based on it's inconsistency, poor grammar and spelling...if your asking it it's credible?

My answer is no!!!

Cheers :)

I try to not use them :oops: But sometimes things pop up that just needs them 8O . So after scratching my head :? about which smiles to use :?: I usually get a brilliant idea :idea: . So, moving on the next step :arrow: I begin to feel confident 8) that I can effectively provide the correct information with the correct smilie placed right where it is supposed to be :D . Then, I come across something in my post that prevents me from being able to use the right smilie :cry: . After realizing it was my inadequacy that brought this on :x I usually erase the entire post and start again :( . But, after seeing the finished product, I realize it was the right thing to do :) .

But wait :!: I forgot something to add something :evil: Time to edit the post :roll: .

And that is how I handle smilies in my posts. :wink:

This is funny too...
If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking. AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites. Do not buy this chip! This is one request that you must refuse your son, if you are to have any hope of raising him well.
