I thought you were an uber linux expert?

Oh wait...you just fuck about with Ubuntu and think you're an expert.

Instead of looking to spend your time and brainpower cracking shit for lulz (which is, once you get over the fact that technology is involved, basically akin to tagging scribbles on walls, peeping at people through open blinds or stealing wallets from car gloveboxes) why don't you teach yourself computer programming and start doing useful and interesting things with it?

It might even lead to a lucrative career, if you don't already have one.

Just a thought.

I've being learning programming for the past 2 months as part of the course I'm doing.

No, not at all. I don't use Ubuntu either. I'm guessing that you're a professional knob jockey.

That is the problem with IT.

It's the only "profession" that you can pick up fucking around with your PC at home, doing a course at the local college, or getting a couple of easy-as "certifications".

No offence Smokeu. But I'm sure it'll cause offence to many people reading this.

You know that this is the sort of thread that can get the owner of the website hosting it in trouble?

How dare you. I went through years of University training and these certificate people get taught the latest technologies and work for half of my salary... it shouldn't be allowed.

FYI, I.T. is far from "the only profession" able to be "picked up" under those conditions

*shrug*

No offence taken.

I didn't learn fuck all during my comp sci BSc. I'd already taught myself the basics during the long, lonely years of early teenage-hood, when I sat in my bedroom reading TAoCP instead of talking to girls.

And I always knew I didn't want to be an 'IT guy'. Fuck that for a job. Might as well be a plumber. In fact, that's what I like to compare it to. Crawling around on your knees showing your butt crack, maintaining the data tanks and bit pipes. Not that that's a bad thing. The world needs plumbers and IT guys. I just don't want to be one.

Being a professional programmer is entirely different.

"The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realizing grand conceptual structures. (...)

Yet the program construct, unlike the poet's words, is real in the sense that it moves and works, producing visible outputs separately from the construct itself. It prints results, draws pictures, produces sounds, moves arms. The magic of myth and legend has come true in our time. One types the correct incantation on a keyboard, and a display screen comes to life, showing things that never were nor could be.

Programming then is fun because it gratifies creative longings built deep within us and delights sensibilities we have in common with all men."

Dude...as you can't (yet) perform any useful programming nor IT function then I don't know why you bother to post in this subforum. Thus far, most of your answers seem to be

a) Plug in a bootable linux disc
b) Fuck off back to Asia

Perhaps if you were trying to ask genuinely useful questions or actually help people you'd get a better response. You could for example, enlighten us as to what type of programming you're learning. Call me a pervert but I have a fondness for ye olde "C".
