Nice topic here, what a coincident! Just finished reading about hacking controversies in different parts of the world. Also, I came across to a blog or something. Its source came from a local news here in the city! That someone hacked a site? Or a game. Crap~ I lost the link LOL. I forgot the name and the full details, too. I don't know if I'll be glad about it. Sigh~ T_T
Perhaps some of us here.. tried that thing? What it feels like @[EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't know how to start since I have no idea. I see simulations of binary numbers running all over the screens, Exaggerated or is it for real? Duh~ ^_^x Perhaps, my own FBI agent hardwyrd will probably help me out about this hack thingy? Or perhaps, I might call him, hackwyrd? LOL~ j/k ^_^x *peace* On 05/09/07, hard wyrd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The German THC group as well as the other groups based in Germany were > actually picketing during the ongoing deliberation for the ratification of > the German Anti Hacker Law.
