Interesting stuff, bheywow.
Not to get off topic, but since I always do anyway.....
I don't remember any discussions or opinions about hacking on any of the TSX sites, which maybe is a little surprising because it's a big internet issue. Maybe it's because people don't think there's anything to say about hacking.
Well, I think there is, because IMO hacking is GOOD --
up to a point, and I truly believe that hackers should be celebrated and encouraged, not prosecuted --
up to that point.
Hackers serve the function of revealing the flaws and insecurities of computer systems.
That's GOOD. And it seems to me it's not only good, but extremely important. Look -- if they can do it, then
real enemies can do it, right? And better for hackers to expose the problems first. It gives the "victims" a chance to firm up their systems, and it enables all of us not to have unjustified illusions.
Obviously there's a line to be drawn even if you agree with what I'm saying. Hacking that has truly destructive results is a different story. But a lot of it has been prank-type stuff, which as far as I could see had minimal if any destructive effect, while IMO providing a great service to the public
and even to the "victim".
I say that whatever kids or anybody else is interested in hacking, we should tell them to do whatever they can, and the best 1000 or whatever will get huge awards. The service to society would be immeasurable.
OK, back to tires.
