LOL. You want to commit a federal crime, and you're announcing it
here? Damn you're dumb.
If you had bothered to read other messages here or look for our FAQ
you'd find out that what the media has been telling you about "hackers"
is mostly myth.
Now, run along little boy before we report you to your ISP for planning
to commit illegal acts using their service.

Why are you asking us? All it takes is 1 phone call to your ISP...they'll
surely see this if they went to alt.hacking. Hacking is illegal, you CAN
get in trouble for it and because you're stupid and let the entire world
know, you WILL get caught.

Yes, it is. There was some sort of computer privacy act passed a while
back.
Besides, there are a ton of charges that would pile up. Let's say you
rooted
a box and went on ICQ or AIM or something masquerading as that person
and then you said something very bad, like "I like to rape children". That
person could sue you for defamation of character. If you damage a computer
you can also be held responsible.
But, just remember that it's only illegal if you get caught :)

You don't get it, do you?
Hacking is not illegal.

Of course, but what does any of that have to do with HACKING!?!? Here's
a hint:

No, moron, it's illegal even if you DON'T get caught. Just because you
don't get caught doing something illegal doesn't make it legal.
Damn. Are you really this stupid, or are you just trolling?
But then this is common knowledge, isn't it ?

"Hacking" without permision is illegal full stop so it seems.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/26397.html. Cracking with intent to
damage, invade, steal from/rape the systems and/or data is definatly illegal
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/26396.html.
"Hacking" in a permited way which can be able to find faults in OS's,
servers and such with full intent NOT to damage, pilfer or such, with the
full prior consent of the system admin and/or the boss of say IT or such
will not be illegal as you have an agreement to do a security sweep/scan for
possible holes.

Wow, so there are some smart people on alt.hacking. Although,
you're wrong to an extent. See, hacking is programming. Nothing
more. Hacking is defined as programming way too much, i.e.
you believe that programming is just a little less important than
your own heart beat. That's hacking. Cracking is the art of
breaking into a network, wreaking havoc, etc. So you're off
a little.

Hey, we could work that into one of your promo-quotes...
"Throughout history, gifted inventors have blessed civilization with

"Taken from the Jargon File :
*hacker n.
[originally, someone who makes furniture with an axe] 1. A person who enjoys
exploring the details of programmable systems and how to stretch their
capabilities, as opposed to most users, who prefer to learn only the minimum
necessary. 2. One who programs enthusiastically (even obsessively) or who
enjoys programming rather than just theorizing about programming. 3. A
person capable of appreciating hack value. 4. A person who is good at
programming quickly. 5. An expert at a particular program, or one who
frequently does work using it or on it; as in `a Unix hacker'. (Definitions
1 through 5 are correlated, and people who fit them congregate.) 6. An
expert or enthusiast of any kind. One might be an astronomy hacker, for
example. 7. One who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively
overcoming or circumventing limitations. 8. [deprecated] A malicious meddler
who tries to discover sensitive information by poking around. Hence
`password hacker', `network hacker'. The correct term for this sense is
cracker. "

Hmm...seeing as I'm correct and you're not, I think
it should be the other way around. By the way,
I'm not preaching.

How do you interpret that definition as "hacking is programming, nothing
more" like you said in your previous post? Anyway, ESR has said enough
questionable things publicly, I'm not so sure I feel comfortable
using his definitions (although I've used that one in the past as well.)

The 60's hackers were software hackers in the greatest sense. The very
nature of the mainframes you mentioned made it a necessity... very little
capacity of the machines made intelligent code a must.

1991, actually. Perhaps you're thinking of Redhat, which started in '93.
But what does Linux have to do with script kiddiez, anyway?

Ah, that's right. The first version of RedHat Linux was released on
October 31, 1993 (commonly referred to as the Halloween edition).
> But what does Linux have to do with script kiddiez, anyway?
Well, if you use Linux, you're probably not a script kiddie. I
understand that this is a major stereotype (I guess) but it's true.
If you care enough about open source and use more difficult versions
of Linux (like Slackware and Debian) you're probably not a script
kiddie.
I love how you say hacking is nothing more than programming, and then
you add more to the definition. Are you confused, or just stupid?
Also, I've seen people write boring code for hours, but I never would
have called it hacking.
Hacking isn't simply programming, heck it doesn't even require a
computer. Hacking is doing something that shows a flare of creativity
in using something in new or unexpected ways that demonstrates a deeper
understanding of the subject.
Sorry, but you'll find few people who agree with your simplistic
definition of hacking here.
> Cracking is the art of breaking into a network, wreaking havoc, etc.
> So you're off a little.
Cracking is more than breaking into networks, it also includes cracking
software protection and other things like that. It doesn't necessarily
mean wreaking havoc though. So, you're the one who's off, and you're
off by a LOT.
Fine, but that's "hacker" not "hacking." And if you'll remember
correctly you (as "cryptic") started off by saying that "Hacking is
illegal". So, what's so illegal about it?

Well, if we look at trends, possibilites and ourselves we could have
something in the lines of:
Us regular blokes,
who like to philosophise over technology, expand our knowledge and
implement what we know into Something Cool. At occasion we preform
miracles in the eyes of the Regular Users when wielding our divine
computing power.
The crusaders,
who continue the everlasting battle against Big Brother etc.
The professional criminals (new group),
who steal stuff like they do in William Gibson's novels. =)
We've actually seen - potentially - hired jobs like this before, so
it's plausible.
The wannabees,
who continue their everlasting quest for the Almighty Clue.
