The glider: an Appropriate Hacker Emblem

The glider: an Appropriate Hacker Emblem
The Linux folks have their penguin and the BSDers their daemon. Perl's got a camel, FSF fans have their gnu and OSI's got an open-source logo. What we haven't had, historically, is an emblem that represents the entire hacker community of which all these groups are parts. This is a proposal that we adopt one — the glider pattern from the Game of Life. About half the hackers this idea was alpha-tested on instantaneously said "Wow! Cool!" I first proposed this emblem in October 2003. When you put the glider emblem on your web page, or wear it on clothing, or display it in some other way, you are visibly associating yourself with the hacker culture. Yes, as of a mere four days after this proposal was floated, there are mugs and T-shirts. If you think is about breaking into other peoples' computers, those of us the emblem was invented for do not want you displaying it. I used to have a prohibition against commercial use here. The glider is not copyrighted or trademarked. Related:  hacking

Top 10 Warranty-Voiding Hacks @neverbeenback: As was said down below in the comments, many warranties state that you can't change the OS to something 'not approved' which is generally a few versions of windows. Wether or not the company *actually* voids your warranty is up to them. edit: hackintoshing is vaguely illegal as well, so I can't see Dell being psyched to help fix your hackmac @freedomweasel: You miss the point, you would be expected to return the laptop to windows before return as using the restore discs is always the first thing to do to remove the chance of software problems, if they easily diagnose a problem then they often tell you to remove your HDD before return , so again YOUR WARRANTY IS NOT EFFECTED. Hackintosh is not illegal if you own an OSX disc, you are just breaking an EULA which means with proof Apple could sue you for it. @neverbeenback: jailbreaking an iphone voids the warranty. "your warranty is not effected" affected, not effected.

The definitive glossary of hacking terminology We live in an era of unprecedented cyberattacks, where malicious campaigns, both personal and governmental, are carried out across laptops and wireless networks. Even if you are not technically minded, your day-to-day life is still probably pretty crowded with stories about hacking, whether you recognize them as such or not. Have you ever installed an antivirus tool on your computer? Read a story about WikiLeaks or the Arab Spring? Opened a bank account? We’ve put together a glossary of what we believe to be the most important and current hacking terms you should know. Adware: Adware can mean the software that automatically generates advertisements in a program that is otherwise free, such as an online video game. Anonymous: A non-hierarchical hacktivist collective, Anonymous uses hacking (and arguably cracking) techniques to register political protest in campaigns known as “#ops.” Code: Code is the machine-readable, usually text-based instructions that govern a device or program.
