Well, not everyone who attacks computers is a script kiddie ... the ones
who know what they're doing are worthy of respect (not that I like what
they do, but you have to respect their abilities). Personally I call
them 'crackers' but I guess the battle over the word is lost.

The media thinks that breaking into computers is difficult despite
evidence to the contrary. You soon see just how dumb they can be when
you see them trying x86 exploits against an alpha/sparc/mips.

Just s/guns/*/g and it'd be just as right.
