Skiddies Punching Themselves in the Crotch
I’m currently watching some skiddies excitedly pass around a “0 day apache exploit” they found on pastebin. It’s a bit of shrouded script that adds a passwordless root account to the very machine that tries launching the “attack.” I can’t decide if this is more like the religionists who go to war by blowing themselves up, or merely a Three Stooges sketch.

ideologues
“Nothing is more dogmatically ideological than branding your opponents as ‘ideologues.’ Ideology is inescapable. Everyone has an ideology … A blindness to the operation of one’s own ideology shows that one is not aware of how one acquired one’s beliefs.” -Harry Binswanger Is “ideologue” an anti-concept, or does it have some rational use?
