USA, BABY!!!
See how this idiot charges his son a hacker because he asked for a faster video card and faster internet connection...
here is a clip:\



Oh yeah its evidentaly only possible for a Male child to become a hacker.

3. Has your child asked for new hardware?

Computer hackers are often limited by conventional computer hardware. They may request "faster" video cards, and larger hard drives, or even more memory. If your son starts requesting these devices, it is possible that he has a legitimate need. You can best ensure that you are buying legal, trustworthy hardware by only buying replacement parts from your computer's manufacturer.

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.

This thread doesn't belong in the Civ3 forum. Moving it to Humor & Jokes forum...
 
I suppose the fact that AMD makes a chip for about half the price with about 90% of the performance of an intel chip makes it evil...yes...that makes perfect sence....
 
Who was this childs parent? Andy Grove?? :lol:
 
the sad part is that im sure there are parents out there who will take it serously
 
I doubt anyone would be that stupid and it wouldn't be too hard to just buy a PC magazine and prove it wrong...
 
Uh oh, I'm male and I just bought an AMD 1.9 Athlon processor. And it was off the internet! I guess I must be a hacker.:crazyeyes If only I'd known that I would go to prison for this, I would have gotten a sex change operation first.:rolleyes:

Seriously, though, I am really glad that my parents do not perscribe to this demented logic. How can one make something that requires conditions as sanitary as a CPU does during its construction in a third world sweatshop??? (The fellow who came up with this idea must be at least partially braindead.) .:insert lobotomized smiley here
