It's a matter of taste really. Not quite so funny...- Ramzy, on 10/11/2007, -76/+9I'm going to have to agree with you on that one.
- brstilson, on 10/24/2007, -22/+136"I'm going to have to agree with you on that one."
You can express that sentiment by clicking the green "thumb up" button on the appropriate post instead of wasting Digg's server space with useless comments like yours as well as comments like this one pointing it out.- simpleid, on 10/11/2007, -85/+11That's funny, because the same thing applies to you. Your great contribution is a waste of space and hogging up my bandwidth. Dugg DOWN mothafuka!
- StudsTurkel, on 10/11/2007, -24/+7As well, your contribution is a waste of space.
- Nutmegan, on 10/11/2007, -29/+4Yes, Digg will never recover the almost 2k you all have used up. Plus my 50 bytes.
- mdhauke, on 10/11/2007, -4/+37I can't believe I jsut read that whole thing
- quik22, on 10/11/2007, -22/+7negroes?
- dhbanes, on 10/11/2007, -15/+2i agree

- crushfan, on 10/11/2007, -36/+3Like how I had clicked "thumb down" button for this brstilson guy after I wrote this. Do I need to express that sentiment? Of course I don't. But -- I just cannot give a ***** about "wasting Digg's server space with useless comments." What the hell? Digg isn't mine. Plus, how the hell do you know if it's useless or not? So, cut that crap - don't try to teach people how to use a web site.
- brstilson, on 10/24/2007, -22/+136"I'm going to have to agree with you on that one."
- unreg, on 10/11/2007, -6/+76I laughed so little I hardly noticed.
- polyGone, on 10/11/2007, -3/+53I like 'clever funny', not 'got kicked in the balls funny'. I thought it was neat. Although, I am a linux noob
- NickMilne, on 10/11/2007, -2/+17Matter of taste is right. Someone who thinks "SecurityMonkey" is the way to go for a screen name (and a persona, too, apparently) probably has all sorts of liquid-spilling problems.
- FastZ, on 10/11/2007, -3/+35I never even cracked a smile. I think I might've if I were there and saw it in person.
- ibjhb, on 10/11/2007, -16/+6FTA: "I think I'd dig a whole and bury it" Whole? Maybe try "hole"? I know he is a computer teacher, but you would think he would know some grammer.....
- Walker2323, on 10/11/2007, -9/+2Stupid double post
- Walker2323, on 10/11/2007, -1/+41Please tell me you were kidding when you spelled grammar as "grammer".
- InferiorWang, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14Don't you know that when correcting a spelling or grammar error, you have to make a mistake of the other kind?
- SniperX, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Not ONLY did you spell it wrong, it wasn't a grammar mistake, it was a spelling mistake.
- nimawin, on 10/11/2007, -4/+16indeed, i also don't understand why i have to read a whole story in Italic!
- Exekutor, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18Would've been funnier without the warning. I was prepared for something incredibly funny.
- daborg, on 10/11/2007, -1/+49Yeah it wasn't that funny at all. I expected something along the line of the blimp story:
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=160851&perpage=50&pagenumber=1
Now THAT one really IS that funny.- dragonlor20, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Good story. Good article. Dumb reference, it has nothing to do with hacking, l33tness, teachers, or computers. I want to digg you down, but I can't bring myself to do it. I enjoyed the story too much. Damnit. All is lost.
- iamhrh, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7God I laughed until I was crying while I read that...
- jesstech, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4That's nothing... a stupid *balloon*? Pussy. I have one better:
I had a friend whose mom was starting a knitting shop. As such, she ordered two full-size mannequins for displaying various pieces of fashion; sweaters, hats, etc.
He got the bright idea one night to sneak them into his parent's room and position them over their bed, arms outstretched like soulless inhabitants of Hell, desperately clawing at the living.
He woke up to the sound of screaming. - sabach, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Blimp story went down like a led zeppelin.
- ch0irb0y, on 01/14/2008, -0/+0Not that WAS funny. Don't read this on if you work in a quiet office.
- griffindj, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12Not kidding. Not funny and quite lame. What exactly was this supposed to teach the kid anyway? To not change the root password and embarrassing him by showing that *gosh* the teacher knows more than the student?
- Ramzy, on 10/11/2007, -76/+9I'm going to have to agree with you on that one.
- lassegs, on 10/11/2007, -6/+243Not incredibly funny, but I would still like to have been there. Set the punk straight.
- simpleid, on 10/11/2007, -5/+12Damn I hate the stereotypical 17 year old hacker. Very few are legit, and the ones that are definitely don't run around saying idiotic immature crap like "omfg u dunt uz teh linux?!"
- crazedgremlin, on 10/11/2007, -5/+11he said "teh debian." the guy _was_ using linux, just not debian
- crazedgremlin, on 10/11/2007, -18/+1he said "teh debian." the guy _was_ using linux, just not debian
- armandgunerio, on 10/11/2007, -8/+2lasse: shut up, this was funny lol ;)

- doctorfungi, on 11/08/2007, -4/+325It's not exactly hilarious, but it puts a smile on your face.
- almightyzam, on 10/11/2007, -4/+15lol, "Pima" (Pain in my ass, for anyone who didn't get it, though it probably wasn't that hard to figure out).
I think I'm going to call certain people Pima from now on. - nibster, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2why are people still digging this? its not all really that great.
- sabach, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Not really all that available either.
- almightyzam, on 10/11/2007, -4/+15lol, "Pima" (Pain in my ass, for anyone who didn't get it, though it probably wasn't that hard to figure out).
- ZenWarrior, on 10/11/2007, -4/+38Not so funny really, but "instructive."
- hellokittyownsu, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Wow 4 people are saying the same thing and they are all being dug up. Doctorfungi has more digs than lassegs just because he says not exactly hilarious and smile on your face.
- smacksaw, on 10/11/2007, -16/+111Everywhere keyboards are being soaked with a combination of beverage, saliva and mucous. I had to switch to my other computer to type my comments after reading that story.
I'm just glad I switched from Windows to Ubuntu or I would have never had the opportunity to bukkake out all of my drink.- sjetha, on 10/11/2007, -11/+72Dugg, just for the use of the word 'bukkake'
- fringet1, on 10/11/2007, -11/+4I second that, its not to often you get to see the word 'bukkake' on digg.
- SleepJunkie, on 10/11/2007, -2/+25I must be reading the wrong sections..
- member57, on 10/11/2007, -6/+4Yep, I can't ever remember seeing the word on digg before, +1 for everybody!
- fringet1, on 10/11/2007, -11/+4I second that, its not to often you get to see the word 'bukkake' on digg.
- timbo83251, on 10/11/2007, -8/+4speaking of sick porn terms, every time it says "fetching reply", I keep thinking it's saying "feltching reply".. yeah that's whats goin on in my noggin...
- crazedgremlin, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2isn't it "felching," not "feltching?"
- crazedgremlin, on 10/11/2007, -8/+1isn't it "felching," not "feltching?"
- sandkiller, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5wtf!?
- WaltDismal, on 10/11/2007, -1/+13I can't believe I'm reading a grammar Nazi war over the word 'felch'. ARGGHHH. AIEIEIEIE.
There's another one minute of my life I'll never have again.- jessicass, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Oh come on.. whether t 'felching' contains a 't' or not is something that concerns us all.
- linkdragon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4How is a spelling error a job for grammar Nazis?
Might as well have one super English Nazi, but then that'd be some sort of politically incorrect oxymoron.- WaltDismal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Well, grammar Nazis and spelling Nazis are all of a kind. Separated at birth. For me it's more the mindset than the specific domain being acted in. But I was only kidding and expect these guys were kidding too. But you know, the correct spelling of 'felch' was question number 452 on the English test in the SAT years ago. I swear. (Crossing my fingers)
- Pixelpaws, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Heh, your comment is funnier than the original story itself..
- sjetha, on 10/11/2007, -11/+72Dugg, just for the use of the word 'bukkake'
- jimbojim, on 10/11/2007, -13/+126You would think as an instructor he would know how to spell "whole".
- OHiggins, on 10/11/2007, -4/+40Blame the blogger, the instructor didn't write this out.
- fareed, on 10/11/2007, -3/+46If he had been using TEH DEBIAN, he would have had spell check.
- cptl, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4And capisce
- satanatnmtedu, on 10/11/2007, -8/+1It is a nice story, but I doubt it is true.
- novahh, on 10/11/2007, -6/+4I believe you mean "hole". "Whole" was his misspelling.
- RazielX, on 10/11/2007, -6/+25You would think that the instructor would know the difference between "whole" and "hole." Has anyone ever noticed that people are confusing those two words a lot lately? Like "no" and "know." It hurts every time I read those!
- timbo83251, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Really, it's not that big of a deal. Even the brightest of minds make mistakes. I'm sure you don't speak or type correctly 100% of the time...

- awizard2, on 10/11/2007, -8/+0Yes
- plutpwnium, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18You're on Digg calling people nerds... I think our society is past the point where being called a 'nerd' is considered a put-down; its more of a compliment now.
- DarkDragon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1We've taken the word back, it's a term of endearment, friendship, and especially respect.
- Eazy~e, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Just like porch monkey, we're taking it back!
- idonthack, on 10/11/2007, -3/+41Remind me why you are here
- memoryleek, on 10/11/2007, -7/+59Serves that little douchebag right. Just because you can change a root password doesn't make you uber anything.
- Lasereth, on 10/11/2007, -7/+480Dugg for the author thinking this is way funnier than it actually is. One of my professors used to change the projector image on the wall to someone's PC who wasn't paying attention and let the entire class watch what they were doing. Even that is more entertaining than this
- implied, on 10/11/2007, -4/+132Now THAT is funny.
- msqueak, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15We had something like that once. The instructors were using someones desktop to demonstrate, and they had everyone send a message to them. They picked a random message and it just happened to say "This class is boring".
- noPCtoday, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13What if he was accessing gay porn?
now the professor was in some trouble.- darkphoenix939, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8i don't think professors work in high schools ?
- noPCtoday, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2i was talking about "Lasereth"'s post dude,
- darkphoenix939, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8i don't think professors work in high schools ?
- stygiansonic, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9I guess straight porn would be okay though. (maybe even boost his ratings at ratemyprofessors.com)
- theprez, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Your comment made me laugh more than reading the article. Digg!
- Beshitehboss, on 10/11/2007, -4/+40I wish my Linux Administration class was this fun, maybe i'd actually end up learning something.
- member57, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I wished my school HAD a Linux admin course, the dept. head was a M$ shill and fanboi, and only offered one token Linux class. Eventually I graduated and ended up as an adjunct instructor teaching the Linux class. Let's just say I didn't stick to the "prescribed curriculum"
- vanden9, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Wait there a class in college were they teach you about Linux...Why the hell did I spend my 10 grade year learning Linux the hard way all by myself....
But I might just try out the backdoor account...

- adml_shake, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Made me laugh. I'm sure we've all known kids like this at various times in school/work. And had fond memories thinking back to when the little ***** got what was coming to him.
- MikeSD34, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1It helps when you have competent teachers. Something some schools are sorely lacking. Back in my high school for instance, our IT department had setup all the schools computers with an Admin account, with a password, but then just left the default Administrator account without one. Which wasn't always the best thing because the teachers kept some of their more important documents on those computers.
- DarKnight90, on 10/11/2007, -4/+57It wasn't funny. But the teacher still owned the kid which gets my Digg.
- Khorpo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1Amen.
- doti, on 10/11/2007, -19/+10ummm, I hope this 16 year old kid doesn't grow up to be like his teacher....
- FastZ, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Uh...the article said he was 17.
- awizard2, on 10/11/2007, -2/+0doti ... are you really pima?
- FastZ, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Uh...the article said he was 17.
- MudMan69, on 10/11/2007, -32/+133The instructor is only slightly less of a douche than the kid.
- tracker198x, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3truer words...

- jm1234567890, on 10/11/2007, -13/+10How did he change the root password?
- Derrekito, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8The instructor was probably not using an up to date patched kernel, and thus script kiddy over here went to a number of different security sites and played around with some proof of concept scripts to gain root access.
- Origin415, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1They can't exactly fix their /etc/resolv.conf unless they were given root, so I doubt this was necessary.
- Philluminati, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13told grub to stop at runlevel 3, single user mode, and just type passwd

- Zuggy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18If it was Linux admin class they may have had root access, which allows you to change the root password.
- ostracize, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Wasn't that what that backdoor username with su privilages was about?
- MikeSD34, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2It says in the article that he had given them the root password as part of the class.
- Derrekito, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8The instructor was probably not using an up to date patched kernel, and thus script kiddy over here went to a number of different security sites and played around with some proof of concept scripts to gain root access.
- awesty, on 10/11/2007, -9/+2haha, stupid kid. serves him right :P
- awizard2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0You don't "get it"
- ssboisen, on 10/11/2007, -34/+6am I really the only one who thinks teaching this kid a lesson by doing somewhat "public" humiliation isn't the right way?

- awizard2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Yes
- ScottMaximus1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Yes
- misconstrued, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Seems so. Yes.
- awizard2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Yes
- gajillion, on 10/11/2007, -12/+4Welcome to the schizophrenia that is Digg. The exact sentiment of your comment, expressed variously above, gets +12, +15, even +74 diggs. You... you get dugg down -9. It's amazing how quickly Diggers go bi-polar.
- awizard2, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4"You" don't get it ... go ask your mommy for lunch money
- Pixelante, on 10/11/2007, -5/+4Probably. He's been too kind. Should have beaten the crap out of the little *****. Scrape his face off with sandpaper.

- Schroderr, on 10/11/2007, -16/+4I can't take a teacher seriously who uses "whole" when it should be "hole". Is this a kid teaching this class?
- cutsomeat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13The teacher didn't write it.
- pasher1221, on 10/11/2007, -2/+29The teacher didn't right it.

- debney, on 10/11/2007, -5/+4Now...... that is funny...
- TocsinFilms, on 10/11/2007, -1/+43That's the kind of teacher I was I had in school. Someone willing to teach a student a lesson, but not in a way such as "You're getting detention." I really wish the world was full of teachers like this man.
- GoldYoshi, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2Yeah, like my History teacher would make us do Pushups...and lots of 'em. He would stand there and make fun of how weak we were, too!
- Atomic1fire, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Mine waited until everyone stopped talking and since it was the last hour of the day he would take the time everyone was talking and make us stay for it
needless to say
we didn't talk much
- Atomic1fire, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Mine waited until everyone stopped talking and since it was the last hour of the day he would take the time everyone was talking and make us stay for it
- radiometric, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5I had a teacher that would give you the choice of either detention or going out to the little yard between like ten classrooms and getting cussed out for about 5 minutes while everyone watched. He had the funniest 'yo mama' jokes.
Same teacher had a student fall asleep in a morning class and let the kid sleep through two more classes before waking him up [He met everybody at the door and told them to leave the guy alone and not be too loud]. He was one of the best teachers ever. I took his Psych, Am Govt, and Econ classes. This was back in high school.- Atomic1fire, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2the same teacher I mentioned before just told the sleeping student in my class that Santa Clause was coming
now that was funny

- thefilebay, on 10/11/2007, -10/+0The kid wasn't actually a 1337 hacker, otherwise the teacher wouldn't have gotten into his computer. This story put a smile on my face too.
- mscman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Almost nobody who claims to be a 1337 h4xx0r is really a hacker/cracker. They're usually just script kiddies.
- hellotyler, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13Less funny then I had hoped, but still amusing. :)
- mentol, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3I have to admit my class needed such a professor a few years before.
Wish I could see this "prank" on YouTube or just be a small fly over there! - Aero1, on 10/11/2007, -9/+2i have to read? ugh, i thought it was a video

2. touch /etc/nologin
Then the teacher would have had to reboot correct? Or did i miss something- michrech, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2You missed something.
For starters, the workstations netbooted an image. Reboot and this "haX0R's" changes are gone.
Secondly, the instructor had an account called, creatively enough, "backdoor" that the kid did not change, so he could have (and did) get into the machine with.
You fail it.- NoValidTitle, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5You missed a few things. #1 That's the posters point you would have HAD to reboot if you didn't have the root password effectively removing all changes the kid made. #2 If you read the article again it looks like the instruction didn't have the account entitled "backdoor" because he stated curiosity killed him so he had to ssh in to test it actually had su rights, without knowing about the backdoor account he would have had to reboot the machine. YOU fail sir, you fail.
- hramos, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6He didn't need the backdoor account. He said he didn't need to know the password because he was authenticated with SSH keys.
- potskie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6making the pyramid on my screen even bigger.
- dawesdust12, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I thought I was the only person who thought that the digg comment system reminded me of a pyramid, I still wanna see how large the pyramid gets.
- mscman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1You haven't learned how big it gets yet? It's been like a month...
- skankyBacon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1This is how big it gets.
- carlwinslow, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0No, this is.
- NoValidTitle, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5You missed a few things. #1 That's the posters point you would have HAD to reboot if you didn't have the root password effectively removing all changes the kid made. #2 If you read the article again it looks like the instruction didn't have the account entitled "backdoor" because he stated curiosity killed him so he had to ssh in to test it actually had su rights, without knowing about the backdoor account he would have had to reboot the machine.

- 5xSTUN, on 10/11/2007, -4/+5Definitely good for a smile. Dugg for smiles, despite the incorrect use of the word "whole."
- SmokeMeAKipper, on 10/11/2007, -5/+26IMO this is a "whole" lot of BS.
- xsxs, on 10/11/2007, -5/+28Ok, am I the only one that doesn't know wtf pima stands for?

- Daemus, on 10/11/2007, -6/+66Pima probably means "Pain in my ass".
Btw, what the ***** does "wtf" mean?- awizard2, on 10/11/2007, -13/+1WTF= What the *****
PIMA= Pain in my ass- brainboy77, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2NO WAY!!!!!
- tech42er, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1O RLY?
- ubergroover, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Yes way, brainboy77.... ;)

- ostracize, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14I've heard PITA before:
Pain in the ass
But who the hell regularly says "pain in my ass"?- Gryffydd, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Alex Trebek
- Lonewolfsanscub, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Kebert Xela. You have to send him back to his alternate dimension.
- awizard2, on 10/11/2007, -3/+0I do ... 'guess you have to live in "my world" ;-)
- dan0964, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5you mean your gay, right ?
- Gryffydd, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Alex Trebek
- ryanknapper, on 10/11/2007, -4/+1What the hell. "Pain in my ass"
- daborg, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Yes, you're the only one. The other six billion people in the world are all laughing at you.
- Naga10, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Actually, you have a point. At least everyone I know says "pain in THE ass", instead of "pain in MY ass".
- mariecordona, on 10/11/2007, -4/+5At my school they just capture packets and start up a random conversation in class about whatever you happen to be looking at. It hasn't happened to me (I actually pay attention) but I've heard some horror stories.
- blackoper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1use a ssl connection or a secure proxy and they will only get encrypted info :)
- deandigger, on 10/11/2007, -5/+2yes, we all had that kind of stuff and porfessors in school. not so funny at all. just ....
- awizard2, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1'You a PIMA?
- pilgrim3970, on 10/11/2007, -13/+4"Computer teacher pwns l33t h4x0r kid in his class."
???
Guess I'm too old to realize that is somehow cool.
Dugg down for title- 30h193ool28t21, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8"l33t h4x0r" stands for "l three three t h four eks zero r" - what's unclear lol:))
- ohgr, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4You know, Hackers are smart and all at what they do... but God are they lame people as well.
- mikesbaker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4script kiddie != hacker
- mscman, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Once again hacker is being confused with script kiddy. Most true hackers won't refer to themselves as "l33t h4xx0rz". That's completely lame.
- tech42er, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1"1337 h4xx0r" is translated as "leet hacker", but only script kiddies call themselves that.
- DarkDragon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11337 h4x0r != Hacker
Although script kiddies have referred to themselves this way, now it tends to either be used to taunt script kiddies:
SK: "I just found this exploit on milw0rm and owned the box. cool aren't I =]"
H: "OMG j00 r 1337 h4x0r aren't u =P"
SK: "I do my best"
H: "dumbass..."
or jokingly between hackers, its a similar situation as before, except the inciting statement is something really cool and confusingly difficult to perform, and it is said respectfully and not tauntingly...
- awizard2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Maybe
- mikesbaker, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4welcome to the internet pilgrim3970
- xxx420xxx, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Well guy, Microsoft has a nice little "l337" speak guide to help old folks like yourself... so, I understand it's a new world you aren't used to.. but you should really educate yourself before digging down something that you don't get. Your stupidity, or lack of understanding, should not be the cause of a story getting dugg down...

- taladon, on 10/11/2007, -9/+0I'll give you a hint....
It's similar to PITA - 30h193ool28t21, on 10/11/2007, -11/+4gayriffic
- bradmoreland, on 10/11/2007, -8/+4I couldn't make it all the way through the article. Besides being completely unfunny, it reads like it were written by someone with a middle school education. It's full of spelling and grammar errors. In this day of spell-check and grammar-check there's absolutely no reason that many errors should make it to publishing.
- 30h193ool28t21, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10dude, they are linux users they don't have spellcheck
- awizard2, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Yuo Couldn't meke through teh whele atreale? ... It is funny, trust me

- patm1987, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Not a fan of aspell I see

- jstem1994, on 10/11/2007, -6/+5The instructor sounds like only slightly less of an a$$hole...
- kronix, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I used to do this to my annoying roommate when he used to keep me up at night. Before I left for work I'd put the speakers up really high. I'd ssh into the box and me and my coworkers would pick a song and fire it up at around 9 am. To this day he hates one of the other kids we lived with because he insists that he was walking into the room and turning on the music and leaving.
- trshtehdsh, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4not sure if this all that relevant, but my friend would put his speakers turned out his dorm window, put "We Didn't Start the Fire" on repeat, and leave for lunch and classes. For the first few days it was pretty funny to most people ... then its shear annoyance, and utter brilliance, really came to shine.
- Burvs, on 10/11/2007, -8/+45Good to know there's teachers carrying pocket knives with them.
- codeninja42, on 10/11/2007, -1/+20yea, it's damn handy too. there are many times when I was glad someone in the building could carry one of the MOST USEFUL AND BASIC TOOLS EVER CREATED.
- potskie, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4especially in IT a pocket knife is uber handy.
- FaithclubDotNet, on 10/11/2007, -6/+0You mean an iPhone?
- MrSelfDestruct, on 10/11/2007, -5/+1In Sweden he would be a criminal. Yes.
- Pixelante, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2That's why once Swedes were mighty warriors and then they went all ABBA and IKEA. You don't let people carry pocket knives.
- awizard2, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0What ... you don't?
