NEW GENERATION.

A separate portrait of a domestic hacker
it makes no sense to press, since the hacker is a su-

different from its Western counterpart. So:
A hacker is a person who loves everything

stare and listen to music - and can’t stand it when-
Yes, they interfere with him in this.
Age and livelihood: Young,
mostly student. Serious hackers have survived
last up to a maximum of 30-30 years. Until the age of 25 you are not rich and

large positions in large corporations, in departments

- a precious find. Although there are disappointments

to the company *SILICON GRAPHICS*, did not leave his
addictions and wrote the *SATAN* program for

connected to the INTERNET. The company's management is not

was that he only wanted to increase vigilance
- quickly deprived him of his occupied chair. Pra-
yes, he was not without work - he was happy

Personality: Very freedom-loving. Considers himself
significantly smarter than most of his peers. On

like a man - jewelry to his mistress), this is about

So the hours spent in the company of the box with
microcircuits, do not count into personal life.
Does the typical hacker have a girlfriend - big question
grew up From a sociological point of view, for each
hacker accounts for no more than about 75% of girls, and
something very special. Firstly, she must
understand computers just enough to
learn: girls come and go, but the computer
as it stood, so it will stand. Secondly, at
it should have its own (within reason) life
know so that she doesn’t whine and doesn’t pester you with her
problems and did not require attention anymore
than it should be. By the way, girls are hackers, it seems
xia, they only happen in the movies.
Parents: Hacker loves parents, in particular
because they don't touch him. However they are few
they cross paths with him - except in the kitchen, along the way
between the kettle and the refrigerator. Parents, in
in turn, they are glad and happy that their child is so
It is protected from the screen, not from (see paragraph *Hacker*).
However, parents have some complaints
- for example, regarding excessive consumption
beer (the norm is a case per weekend), as well as
water of the next point.
Apartment (usually a room): Its most likely possible
but call it a den. In a place of honor - computer

otherwise (this mainly applies to the grandmother).
Appearance: Just the right amount of time is devoted to it
me as much as is needed to preserve what
a hacker understands by his individual style.
Food: Anything that is edible.
Rest (for the domestic hacker): Since

difficult - either it will be stolen or the electricity will run out
- the hacker will go with the girl to Yalta or Anapa and
will stop being a hacker for a while.
Entertainment and education: By education -

a certain world is mathematically described: star wars,
love scams, search for adventures. There's no
pictures, but this is also interesting, because one hundred percent
fantasy works.
(Note from LORD WOWCHIK: And fantasies are hack-
frames, I must say frankly, do not borrow!).
Returning from the pseudoscientific description of the subspecies
`HAKERUS TYPIKUS` to real life, can be foundsome positive points. Indeed,
if you don’t climb, - as was said, - where not to go

a cheap modem with a speed of 2.200 for a hundred dollars

it is on the road at a speed of 14.ORO (ORO $). Ha-
ker doesn't receive phone bills because he doesn't
likes to pay for them, especially international ones.
For example, you need to download some file from
America - and he’s big and will swing for an hour, that’s
you won't pay. So all possibilities are analyzed

then save a lot of money on calls, `breaking`
