Younger hackers are hard to classify. They're probably just as diverse as the old hackers are. We're all over the map.

Entrance
The gate,
The entrance,
The way;
'Qwerty' and Money Bookers,
But freedom is my name for the hackers! !
For i am free on the cyberspace with my love,
And like the eyes of the rainbow watching us.

Websites
Websites,
Growing like a big oak tree! !
Slowly but surely,
Growing and expanding everyday;
But, there are still hackers here and there on the Computer!
And now, detestable things are found in it.

For the first time, individual hackers could afford to have home machines comparable in power and storage capacity to the minicomputers of ten years earlier - Unix engines capable of supporting a full development environment and talking to the Internet.

Give Fed reason to dismantle Net

Younger Girls
Words and music by robin zander and rick nielsen
Try to bend me, try to shake me
Try and turn my head around
Oh try to change me, rearrange me
I think you know about the boy you found
A fantasy like this is hit and run
Younger girls
Oh how i love those younger girls
Younger girls
Oh how i love those younger girls
I had a dream about girls like you
You said call us, you'll get two
One for your money, two for the show
I'll give you something more
I know,i know,i know,i know
It's hard enough to make you wanna cry
Younger girls
Oh how i love those younger girls
Younger girls
Oh how i love those younger girls
It's hard enough to make you wanna cry
And it drives me out of my mind
I'm in love with you, baby
My poor innocent baby
Don't you say maybe
Younger girls
Oh how i love those younger girls
Younger girls
Oh how i love those younger girls
Feels so good, let me in
I might jump right out of my skin
Don't you ever grow up little girl
Sweet young thing, not so innocent
Younger girls
Oh how i love those younger girls
Younger girls
Oh how i love those younger girls
(repeat to coda)

I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It's like people see Hackers and they send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I'd like to play strong women who are also very feminine.

Ratting on the ratings
They've been at
my stats!
it's taken them weeks,
the stupid geeks
I've gone from nine or ten
back then
to average four
or not much more
they haven't finished... so it seems...
do I feel diminished? In your dreams!
like a melting, sad poetic snowman?
the answer's a belting, glad, oh no, man!
doing all those hits
must be boring, silly shits
but although it's boring
they've sent my 'total hits' soaring -
raised to the skies my poetic cred -
you'd think, by thousands I've now been read!
sticks and hackers
may hurt my knackers
but at least these nerds
can't mess with the words
yet

Its All About The Pentiums
Its all about the pentiums, baby
Uhh, uh-huh, yeah
Uhh, uh-huh, yeah
Its all about the pentiums, baby
Its all about the pentiums, baby
Its all about the pentiums! (its all about the pentiums, baby)

Wanna be hackers? code crackers? slackers
Wastin time with all the chatroom yakkers?
9 to 5, chillin at hewlett packard?
Workin at a desk with a dumb little placard?
Yeah, payin the bills with my mad programming skills
Defraggin my hard drive for thrills
I got me a hundred gigabytes of ram
I never feed trolls and I dont read spam
Installed a t1 line in my house
Always at my pc, double-clickin on my mizouse
Upgrade my system at least twice a day
Im strictly plug-and-play, I aint afraid of y2k
Im down with bill gates, I call him money for short
I phone him up at home and I make him do my tech support
Its all about the pentiums, what?
Youve gotta be the dumbest newbie Ive ever seen
Youve got white-out all over your screen
You think your commodore 64 is really neato
What kinda chip you got in there, a dorito?
Youre usin a 286? dont make me laugh
Your windows boots up in what, a day and a half?
You could back up your whole hard drive on a floppy diskette
Youre the biggest joke on the internet
Your database is a disaster
Youre waxin your modem, tryin to make it go faster
Hey fella, I bet youre still livin in your parents cellar
Downloadin pictures of sarah michelle gellar
And postin me too! like some brain-dead aol-er
I should do the world a favor and cap you like old yeller
Youre just about as useless as jpegs to hellen keller
Its all about the pentiums! (its all about the pentiums, baby)
Its all about the pentiums! (its all about the pentiums, baby)
Its all about the pentiums! (its all about the pentiums, baby)
Its all about the pentiums! (its all about the pentiums, baby)
Now, what yall wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? code crackers? slackers
Wastin time with all the chatroom yakkers?
9 to 5, chillin at hewlett packard?
Uh, uh, loggin in now
Wanna run wit my crew, hah?
Rule cyberspace and crunch numbers like I do?
They call me the king of the spreadsheets
Got em printed out on my bedsheets
My new computers got the clocks, it rocks
But it was obsolete before I opened the box
You say youve had your desktop for over a week?
Throw that junk away, man, its an antique
Your laptop is a month old? well thats great
If you could use a nice, heavy paperweight
My digital media is write-protected
Every file inspected, no viruses detected
I beta tested every operation system
Gave props to some, and others? I dissed em
While your computers crashin, mines multitaskin
It does all my work without me even askin
Got a flat-screen monitor forty inches wide wide
I believe that your says etch-a-sketch on the side
In a 32-bit world, youre a 2-bit user
Youve got your own newsgroup, alt.total-loser
Your motherboard melts when you try to send a fax
Whered you get your cpu, in a box of cracker jacks?
Play me online? well, you know that Ill beat you
If I ever meet you Ill control-alt-delete you
What? what? what? what? what?
Its all about the pentiums! (its all about the pentiums, baby)
Its all about the pentiums! (its all about the pentiums, baby)
Its all about the pentiums! (its all about the pentiums, baby)
Its all about the pentiums! (its all about the pentiums, baby)
Now, what yall wanna do?
Wanna be hackers? code crackers? slackers
Wastin time with all the chatroom yakkers?

What? ?

Hackers Lack Substance
There are those attached to hacking.
Believing it easier to destroy than to build.
They take steps,
To make their presence known and effective.
For the purpose to upset.
Since attention is what people like this wish to get.
Not all are products of dysfunction.
They just have missions to eliminate...
Based upon their gumption to inflict assumptions.
Whether it is relationships attacked,
Or a means sought to annoy...
An association thought to be intact.
Hackers lack substance!
How esle can one explain or describe...
Their mindless actions to produce nonfiction,
By distorting or erasing that which are facts.
