03:13 pm - jāpadomā par šo viedokliThe Internet is basically a peacetime playground for the kind of arrogant young males who, in past centuries, would have been willing cannon-fodder for the army. Society has started to learn that being at war with your neighbors is stupid and counterproductive, but the cannon-fodder continues to be born and grow up. Their raging hormones need an outlet, so they become obsessed with FPS shoot-up games, hacking and cracking, robotically editing Wikipedia, and other such non-careers. Society evidently finds botnet operators to be more “acceptable” than outright street thugs mugging people randomly — but there really isn’t much difference. |
