|Forum|Articles|PC Hard Where?. By Anubis   The teacher looked like a version of Steve Jobs that had not yet ..umm... gone to seed. For this reason I derived great pleasure from calling him Steve Jobs Lite™ behind his back. He was not that bad of a teacher. But hehated macs. I mean he "really" hated macs. And he knew from the first day that I was a macuser because I tend to tell the teachers as soon as possible to explain why, for example I know all about the IP addressing protocol but I can not find out my own IP address under Windows. As it turned out every other person in the class except for Fireman could be a card carrying member of some neo-fachist anti mac club. Let the good times roll. There was this computer jock in the class. You all know what a computer jock is, right? He was a jock that had learned a lot about computers through his desire to play NFL Madden 2000 and talk online to his girlfriends. He was a real ass. And he hated macs more than anyone in the class, including Steve Jobs Lite™. Did I mention he was an ass? He slammed macs constantly while talking about his 7 drive PC with the Voodoo 5 3D accelerator. Hey, I got a place where you can shove that SCSI host adapter, and it ain't no ISA slot. An event that sticks out in my mind. The teacher,Steve,Jobs Lite™ asked if anyone had a duel boot system. I told him I had a DEC 100 with a duel processor 8086/Zilog Z80 running CP/M 2.1 and DOS 1.0 off of a partitioned 5 megabyte hard drive.Everyone looked at me like I was mad. It was one of my finest moments. I used the classrooms resources for my own twisted purposes on several occasions. One time we had to reformat all the computers in the room to prepare us for a career in the IT department. Apparently "Talk to the hand because I don't give a damm" is not an acceptable thing for a CT to tell the typing pool, no matter how many of them are pregnant STD carrying bimbos who have been heard to say "What's a DOS" before. Anyway during the clean install process I set the default homepage on every computer I encountered to the Polycon Plugin website. Can anyone say inflated webcounter? Near the end of the class Steve Jobs Lite™ asked me if I could bring in my powerbook so the class could see what a mac looked like. I took him up on the offer and brought my powerbook... and an ethernet cable. It took me about 30 seconds to figure out that there was a DHCP server in the building somewhere so within 2 minutes I was on Clark States T-1 line. That was enough of a demonstration of my computer skills to make them stop bugging me about using a mac. As a final blow I did a service scan for port 23 (the telnet port), found an IP address on their network that was listening, and connected to it with the IBM 3270 terminal emulator (for that green screen "matrix" effect). At this point they had lost track of what I was doing so it did not matter that I did not even know what I had connected to or what the commands were. All they saw was that green "matrix-ey" text,they assumed I must be doing something pretty cool. I could have been running a disk defragmenter and they would not have known. If only I had had the presence of mind to bring a packet sniffer...       Syntax Error/:|Forum|Articles|
