Man, this thing is ancient! I remember reading it when I was first getting into the internet and just laughing at how silly it is. Does anyone know if this was serious or someone's idea of a joke? I'm sure many parents actually took this seriously... still an interesting read.

 

I have never seen this before and it was a interesting read.

I seriously scared that this could of been a real situation.

 

I remember as a kid back in the 80's convincing my grandfather that I'd hacked into Barclays using my ZX spectrum. It was just after watching wargames on TV, so he wasn't put off by the fact that I didn't have a modem or anything like that.

He almost called the police...

 

I don't know why... but this made me laugh. Thank you.

 

I dont have a son and if I do nobody has told me yet

 

mine is only 20 months old so no, plus I'd prefer to get him into cars and girls, than be a nerd like his dad!

 

Nope. Geek is the way to go. Always.

 

lol

 

Brillliant There's loads of funny articles on that site. This one made me laugh:

I agree.

I'd rather have my kid spend hours coding in C# out of boredom than boy-racing with underage chicks on board.
