I was a hacker for an anti-U.S. government movement

from JoeUser Forums
Did I ever tell you I used to be a hacker for an ultra-right wing organization? "Ultra-right wing" in terms that the John Birch Society is a bunch of pathetic, liberal cowards right wing. As in, "We Don't Pay Taxes And All Of That Money We Save From Doing So Goes Into Stockpiling Weapons" sort of philosophy.

Now, I didn't "hack" in terms of I infiltrated the IRS and deleted all the sensitive data on these guys from their databases, but merely wrote little programs that did things like track their assets through various shell entities and such. Mind you, I never did any thing even remotely illegal, and at all times kept my distance from even trying to understand what they actually did with the applications I created for them.

But it was interesting nonetheless.

The primary contact I worked with was something of a lower-level lemming who, I think, was more interested in the idea of being with a clandestine organization than what the organization was actually doing. I know this because the constant din of his hook and bait questions.

"Hey man, wanna know how you can buy a car and pay no taxes on it?"
"Not really."
"That's ok. I couldn't *really* tell you anyway, but I thought you'd be jealous about how much money you're giving away."
"No problem, Steve. I don't relish the idea of prison."
"Steve? Why'd you call me 'Steve'?"
"Because that's your name."
"Oh, that's right. I gave you an alias. I gotta do that in this business."

I don't care if it's a true story or not, but it's downright funny, so I'm adding this comment so others will have the opportunity to laugh. Way to go Aegix.

Cheers

No, it isn't true, because for one thing - anyone who does covert operations isn't remotely stupid enough to speak out and say what they are doing. And two - the guy who posted this doesn't even know what the political scale is if he thinks right wingers are liberal.

Perhaps he was using the old-style liberal, which is to say different than the majority accepted viewpoint?

YOu all must be fucking stupid, you just have no balls is all that is really the problem. However the likely ness of him actually doing something is most likely a liar, most people these days have no concept of what the fuck computers are let alone the intricacies that lay therein. further, to do it properly, you must have an idea how to do more than computers, I am a trained us marine. Plus I have read and read and read. I am sorry all, but it is probably a hoax there.

And you were caught up on "doing computers" (when he actually said "you must have an idea of how to do more than computers," which could mean you can do more *than a computer can*)... I got caught on:

However the likely ness of him actually doing something is most likely a liar.

The "likely ness" "is most likely a liar."
I think he means Nessie. But he shouldn't say such mean things about a dinosaur...

You funny. A) I'm a hapless developer looking for some coin. The fact that I got hooked up with some nutballs doesn't mean I can't have some fun at their expense. Plus, I'm a trained ninja, so I can take care of myself. B) You really didn't understand the whole ultra-right wing thingy that well. I'll endeavor to write slower since I realize you don't read so well.

Good luck with the banjo lessons.
