Absolutely! I would definitely say that FD is chock full of good,
wholesome, security info, whether it's a good or bad thing for the
community. And yes, the entertainment is great. What's really
entertaining to me is the peoples' reactions that just can't handle hard

Pauly should-a Picked Apart A Hack Attack Packet, but the admin couldn't
track the stack smack cause he lacks the faqs. So, as the fast hacks
fulfilled their 'Chronic' snacks attacks while surfing the campus fibre
backs and covering their syn-ack tracks, little pauly whishes he had a
tool that that could keep him from playin the suck-a fool.  Adjunct for
a reason, are we?
