At school, im not the type of geek that hangs around with geeks, i actually hang around with computer illetrates and a few warez kiddys. I know a couple of Linux people who we share distros but there not really friends of mine, just people I know. My last girlfriend was a Linux chick who I happened to meet at an installfest.
Yet I am in a new IT Class called "VCE IT" which is college IT in highschool pretty much. (Im in year 10, last year of high school).
The geeks in my IT class where "amazed" because i know html, and that the school disabled the command prompt, so id make batch scripts to do what i needed to do, they called me a "hacker". There not geeks because they actually know everything (like i do
). But because there outcasted because there really ugly or because of whatever, anyway they think im god now because I have some social skills and still spend more time on my computer then my cpu does.
There are many geeks in the class and many people who like Windows XP. Yesterday however my system crashed, and someone says "damn these computers suck". So natrually i started ranting like a maniac. (I wont post everything i said because i really did say it all, and if you just look around old threads in the forum you will get the message). Anyways i started by saying how Microsoft put bugs in there software, then there licenceing, then how they brought stuff of other companys and sold it. (Like how Microsoft Dos was made). By the time I was finsihed everybody listening was saying comments like "im gonna kill that dirty bill gates barsted" ect.
One kid told me "You know everything dont you!"
So i was stumpted (kinda flattered) and said "Lets just say know at least something about everything".
This has came as a shock to me, I have been having a day off and was reading about Linus Torvalds when I realized I was almost like him in every way. I dont mean to sound like im trying to take some credit, but he is a fast learner, he thinks he is god, and he likes playing jokes on people (read the Linux Anecdotes thread in Linux/Unux).
Well I dont know what to say, but we both like beer, we both like pool, we both like hacking, I am his evil twin or somthing.
Really its weird, or maybe everyones like Linus, hmmmmmm i thought i was more like Stallman or Tiemann
