| 31 | elijahblue: cracker is already used as a racial slur to describe white people. A second use might prompt confusion. | What is your salary? |
| 32 | elijahblue: sweetie, "cracker" as a slur may have been around longer than computers. I may have to dig for a reference, would white bread be acceptable? | What is your salary? |
| 33 | If you are hacking into a system "just to look around" it is like breaking into a house just to look around, as opposed to stealing objects like a "cracker" (computer related definition) would. No mater what you call yourself to make yourself feel better you are still trespassing in the sense that you are going into a place that the owner/creator does not want you to go. | What is your salary? |
| 34 | elijahblue: my deepest apologies, I did not realize that hackers were so noble. As a side note, the "Breaking" of "Breaking and Entering" refers to breaking the threshold, even on an open door (not smashing your way in). The laws are not written so that if you do not lock up your stuff you have no right to it. If that were the case I would have more lawn furniture than I do now. | What is your salary? |
| 35 | eb: I have given some thought to your argument and would like to adapt it for my own use. When I modify one of my car engines so that it will go even faster than before, and well above the speed limit I am not speeding, I am "pushing the envelope of technology". If hacker was intended to be a glorious term it would be a different term. Hack is similar to butcher and other words that describe crude methods (my apologies to those involved in the meat trade). Hacking, phreaking, and other similar ventures were not developed to make the world a better place. Also, if somebody is hired to break into a system to test it they are an employee, not a noble rouge warrior. P.S. Who made you the spokesperson for all of the definitions of the English language? | What is your salary? |
| 36 | No, I get to keep the finger. The hospital setting means that you will not bleed to death (as you might if I cut it off in the woodshed out back). I should have been clearer. I was also hoping that some sugar daddy would step forward with the cash since I, (this may be a shock to some), don't have it. | Would you let me cut off your index finger in a hospital setting for $250,000? |
| 37 | It's always good to have a spare trigger finger. | Would you let me cut off your index finger in a hospital setting for $250,000? |
| 38 | 216 . . . the magical number | How many digits of Pi do you know by heart? |
| 39 | Only if I had an up front contract and the money put is escrow. I'd have to check the tax brackets first. | Would you work for a year on half your normal salary in return for double salary the following year ? |
| 40 | I would rather have two wives. | Would you rather have a "husband" or a "wife"? Which would you rather be? |
