So I was just browsing adequacy and I noticed that instead of the "My Adequacy Login" box I was logged in as PotatoError..

More diaries by Anonymous Reader

	Yes, Indeed, Anonymous has a Diary
	What happened?
	Kittie Pr0n, did I do the right thing?
	The most beautiful display of utter crap I have ever had the mispleasure of seeing

I didnt do anything to precipitate this little bug, I really dont have a clue why it happened. Rest assured, if this diary actually posts I shall email the editors straight away, and if this just ends up in the submission bin well, a weird thing just happened and I can send you a screenshot (210k PNG/218k JPG) if you like =P. As for why I even bothered to try to post? Curiousity I suppose... (oh, yea, nickives@hotmail.com to contact me)

	Look at this! This hacker has broken into our system and is posting his "0wn j00" messages here on our own site! And using our own site to spread how-to instructions to all the other evil hackers so they can come here too and terrorize us. Is it too late to stop these fiends? Are there too many of them? This scourge of evil hacking must be STOPPED! The very foundations of our civilization are being unraveled by this endless deconstructionist hacking! How bad will it have to get before we finally take action? How much will we take? I do, I do, I do --Bikini Kill

	There is a reason why the Adequacy krew don't let you touch any of the equipment. Leave the Adequacy servers to the big boys, they can handle it themselves.

	This has simply gone too far. None of us is safe any more. It is too late. I want nickives@hotmail.com to know that I will say NOTHING to the FBI. I know nothing and I didn't see a thing. There's hackers everywhere now and they have hacked into everything and it just isn't safe any more and we're all doomed. Don't antagonize them any more! They'll only attack us again and next time it will be worse. We must surrender. That is the only safe way to deal with terrorism. This proves it, doesn't it? Terrorism works and if you aren't a terrorist yourself then you are a victim of terrorism and you have to give them whatever they want or else it will just get worse and worse and worse and it will never stop and then what! They'll ruin EVERYTHING that's what! Who will save us? Who can protect us? WHO? sob I do, I do, I do --Bikini Kill

	Yes call the FBI and claim this person did something they didn't do. I wonder what the FBI would think about the TOS and this: We here at Adequacy.org apologize for any difficulty you may be encountering with your Adequacy Experience?. As a part of our patriotic duty to this great nation of ours, we are currently installing a certain, classified module to our proprietary, closed-source web serving system. We expect to have these issues worked out very soon - two or three weeks at most. Thank you for your patience! this site is temporarily in high traffic mode I am just wondering how the FBI would feel when they find out that they are get inaccurate accounts of events that took place made by morons that really don't know know a damn thing about computer, networks or what constitutes "hacking/cracking". I am also wondering how the FBI will react to claims of copyright infringement by the editors and admin for this site. I can imgaine this site being taken down and elby (who the domain adequacy.org is registered to) will enjoy jail time and/or hefty fines. I'm sure they would love to hear that it's all becuase you hate LUnix (an OS which run on 8bit computers and has no connection to Linux) and the GNU. Where are these compyright infringements? Well just look above at the message that appeared on this site on weeks ago. Not to mentio the numerous infringements I found in the TOS. No hacking/cracking was involved in gathering this information. The simple fact that this site uses SCOOP which only runs on various Unices is good enough. Since this site runs a nix OS we know that it likely runs Apache since it obviously wouldn't run IIS (if they claim it does there would be another infringement). Also countless posts can be found related to this topic. FreeBSD Community: I wonder how the small group of people who wrote and work on this OS would feel about you claiming that it is proprietary and tranfering your copyright onto it and completely ignoring the BSD licensing scheme. Apache Software Foundation: Apache is copyrighted and does have its own license. I think they will have the same reaction as the FreBSD community. World Wide Web Consortium (W3C): Copyrighting HTML. You should have put copyrights onto the items the code links to instead. Also, your idiotic attempts at banning the users from VIEWING* the source code would be laughed at. FBI: After reviewing the complaints would not only site the owner of the web server but would laugh for about a week upon investigation. I gotta whole lot more. I have already typed everything I need to submit report to the FBI and the above organizations. Do you have anything beyond uneducated mindless crap? Hey, if you consider the fifth grade your senior year, what else can you be besides a pompous jackass?

	This hacker has broken into our system and is posting his "0wn j00" messages here on our own site! And using our own site to spread how-to instructions to all the other evil hackers so they can come here too and terrorize us. Where is the HOW-TO? Where are the instructions on how to actually do this? Stupid ass. Hey, if you consider the fifth grade your senior year, what else can you be besides a pompous jackass?

	Pissed off because the hacking instructions are too hard for you? What, you're used to full color illustrations with cartoons? Here's a picture of Hacker Hamster posting pr0n on his High School's web site. Just follow what Hacker Hamster does and you can do it too! Or if that's too much I guess you just download a script and run it. Well, whatever, but you'll get no sympathy from the management here if the hacking how-to's are too hard for you to use. If only all hackers were as dim as you, maybe I could sleep at night. I do, I do, I do --Bikini Kill

	So I was just browsing adequacy and I noticed that instead of the "My Adequacy Login" box I was logged in as PotatoError.. I don't see anything there. Gee maybe there reason the reader was log in as a registered user was because of a glitch in reading a corrupted cookie. I didnt do anything to precipitate this little bug, I really dont have a clue why it happened. Rest assured, if this diary actually posts I shall email the editors straight away, and if this just ends up in the submission bin well, a weird thing just happened and I can send you a screenshot (210k PNG/218k JPG) if you like =P Nothing there either. He even offers to email the editors about the error. Oh I know. Maybe you think that 210k PNG/218K JPG is the how to. That's just the file sizes the screenshot in two different file formats. I guess you think know how to open a web browser makes you think your more tech savvy and intelligent, huh?

	You're trying to prove you're not too dumb to follow the instructions for posting a diary as an Anonymous Reader right? And this proves that how? All you're doing is repeating your conclusion, that you can't see any useful information. We know you can't see any useful information there. We agree on that. But unless you are going to start one of your ad nausaeum fallacious arguments again (and I fear you will), you're going to have to come up with some evidence that there are no hacking instructions there. Everyone else can see them. Why can't you? Must be some defect, that's all I can figure. Why not just post a diary as an Anonymous Reader if you are so clever? Why not stop and realize that you could be doing something that matters with the precious minutes of your life instead of trying to convice those mocking you on Adequacy.org that you are not a clown? You're not gaining any ground you know. I do, I do, I do --Bikini Kill

	by NAWL on Wed Dec 19th, 2001 at 11:58:16 PM PST

	I don't know why I even bother responding to your idiocy. Of course no one ever gains any ground with you. Why, because when someone kills your point an proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that your an idiot you do the same thing over and over and over again. You unfortunately can never stay directly on topic you take these little pyschology trips and then when someone actually gets the upper hand on you (for all the world to see) you go off about "your mother", your uncle", "MS is your daddy", "I don't know shit about computers but I'm gonna use big words to pretend I'm smart". Being able to use a Thesaurus does prove squat. I speak four languages not including english. Do I go around posting in every language other than english to impress people? Nope. Maybe someone should get you a tiny windows for Christmas so you can see out your belly button while you got your head up your ass.

	In any of these four languages which you never brag about, can you communicate without resorting to verbal terrorism? Do you have any idea what an intelligent and polite place Adequacy.org is when all the ranting, frothing hacker maniacs finally leave? You should strive to become a moral person. You should read Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. That is the book that explains ethics and morality. With those virtues, you would cease being a socially destructive hacker and would instead have an honest desire to be good and kind. This hope is possible for you, and for all dangerous hackers. Even the slow ones who just use scripts. What do you say? C'mon! Leave your wicked life behind and begin again! C'mon! I do, I do, I do --Bikini Kill

	I lead a very good life as it is. I have a wife, kids, and, hell, a couple of grandkids. I got the nice house and cars. I don't need some little snot nosed self-proclaimed intellectual telling me how I should live my life. Live yours and I'll live mine. You want to continue to walk around like a peacock all "look at me, look at me". Beside morals are not defined by a book. Individualisms. Go ahead and read "Critique of Pure Reason". Be another mindless follower. I have done extremely well for myself not only financially but morally. I've lived my life, servered my country and if I wanna be a bitter old man well then that's my goddamed American Constitutional Bill of friggin Right. And I can tell you this "kid", I have probably forgotten more than you will EVER know. So stop trying to shove your "look at me, I'm smart, atop the intellectual pyramid, top of the evolutionary food chain, blah blah blah bullshit down my throat.
