AGREED! Was this posted on the Onion?

[Jeff Chandler]

11.) Are FBI agents knocking on your door?

[agitator]

I thought it might have been humor but looking over the website it doesn't look like it.

LOL - sorry but this would be a script kiddie, not a hacker. The actions described here do not even come close to the level of even your most basic hacker.

OK, they had me right up 'til here...

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.

Then it started to get worse from there, until I finally started to do the "hmmm...something's wrong here" bit.

If your son is failing courses in school, or performing poorly on sports teams, he may be involved in a hacking group
Or he may be doing drugs, depressed, making violent plans, .....or he may just be a bored teenager.

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.

Yes do not buy this chip. It is made by the technology leader and causes Intel to play catch up, leading to increased competition in the processor market, which must be bad for consumers. This chip will obviously lead to hacking. BAHAHAHAHA who wrote this trash?

"Lunix"? Is that like a version of Linux that can only be used at night?

[Hank Rearden]

"Is your son using electricity? How about your daughter? If so, they're probably using it to be hackers!!!!!"

[rdb3]

If the addage that an apple doesn't tall far from the tree is true, I'm sure my son would be. If he existed, of course.

[Wormwood]

This is the dumbest thing I've read all week.

I lurk on DU.

Do the math.

[TheOracleAtLilac]

Mr. Gibbons, truly well informed !

[Ken522]

... AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. ...

This is news to me - A company traded on the NYSE which manufactures processors which are sometimes better than Intels own processor family ... I don't think so ..

[MarkeyD]

I make my cpus in my basement and sell them out of my trunk.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

This thread must have been hacked as it's mostly crap ...

[Hank Rearden]

That was you?

Mine's got smoke coming out of it. Bug or feature? Do I inhale, or run?

[Right Wing Assault]

It's a joke, people. Or the most uninformed dude in America who can't get anything straight. Lunix written by Linyos Torovoltos! That's great!
