Usually when this bunch gets motivated we end up paying for it.

But may be, just may be, these are the stirrings of Patriotism.
I hope so. That generation has been searching for something
to fight for.

One thing though, I just don't see how a country like Afghanistan
with no allowed internet connections could be effected.

[CheneyChick]

Hmmmm.

[Dan from Michigan]

If I knew how to do it, I'd crack, hack, and virus their computers.

[IncPen]

I must say when I read this headline I thought, "Cracker?"

It took me twice to read the meaning in the first paragraph and not feel that I should somehow be insulted..

Now then...

[StoneColdGOP]

Whoops, when I saw this was about "crackers" I thought it would be about the ignorant, dimwitted, sh!t-for-brains fools attacking AMERICANS of Arab descent, Muslims, Sikhs, or anyone that wore a turban and just LOOKED like they might be the enemy even though they were good, loyal American citizens - or that it might be about said ignorant, dimwitted, sh!t-for-brains fools firebombing mosques, temples and schools here in the U.S.

My mistake...

[Sueann]

Biggest mistake these people make - telling their enemy what they plan to do.

It's like witnessing a murder and running up to the murderer and pointing your finger in their face and saying, I saw what you did, and I'm going to report you to the police.

I wonder how many of these people will lose their life because they could not keep this secret!

I'm all for it. Go kick some a$$, my computer-loving friends.

[Texasforever]

Yes but it could be counter productive if our guys are tracking the bad guys through those ISPs.

[xm177e2]

Looking at this headline, I thought you meant "poor, white trash" and not "computer hackers."

[SurferDoc]

Don't underestimate this bunch...they can do what they say they can do and most likely not get caught [almost certainly not by their targets]...

[6ppc]

Bump...take 'em down!

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

I got spam in my e-mail from someone at a place called Arabia.com., trying to sell me electronics, or some such nonsense. Went and looked at it. Strange place.

[avg_freeper]

Yea, I thought the term Cracker was a little strange my self.

The term sounds British but its obviously an American web sight.

[neutrino]

Great! Let the ping-storms begin! Cry havoc, and unleash the buffer overflows!

[dts32041]

Follow the Money it is nothing but 1's and 0's stuck in somebody's computer connected to a network somewhere in the world.

[avg_freeper]

By the way this is my first posting.

Luker for a long time.

[bubbafree]

My thoughts, too. Let our guys hack & track before you shut it down. The horse left the barn, closing the door now won't help us catch him.

[fnord]

This is good, but when we get around to hacking his bank accounts we will really cripple him :-)

[Lizzy W]

Well, this should only take about 6 minutes. They only have about 11 computers in that God forsaken brush heap.

[July 4th]

Cracker, I believe, is the proper term for those who hack with malicious intent. "Hacker" is reserved for those who do it for fun with no intent to destroy, or to help out companies by hacking and letting them know where security flaws are.
