Of course I also didn't read any responses as well.


Life is good

Since I know Cultsmasher doesn't read any topics he didn't start, I will note here, I am looking forward to his insane reaction to my lengthy and well crafted response to his latest spew.

Considering his cries and lamentations that nobody counters his nonsense, or tells him where he is wrong.

But we all know it isn't going to make any difference at all. Because he is actually quite nuts

And yes, I must retract my previous post now

This post exists only to bump Disobey out of the top spot.

Since he doesn't read any threads except the ones he creates, he won't even know.

Default Re: I'm here, so everybody can rage at will

I thought about starting a topic about "hacking".

computers, coughing, or driving a cab?

But instead I posted this post.

Why is a cab driver called "a hack"? Why is "hacking" used in regards to software, computers, and all kinds of other shit? Why is a dry cough called "hacking"? OK that last one is pretty obvious.

Before cars, Taxis were usually Hackneys.

It's a fascinating history, how modern Yellow Cabs in NYC are named because of the Hackney horse

hack = taxi or taxi-driver
hackstand = taxi stand
hack license = taxi license

The origin of the Hackney horse is far more complicated

That is actually a topic from 1995, which was about hacking in the computer sense. One of the first topics I participated in.

It still exists
