<sigh> the teenage boys *aren't hackers*. they're crackers. they're not
even *good* crackers. (good == proficient/talented).

but this is a silly article; it's whining about sexism in an *illegal
subculture*. 

in the *legitimate* subculture (ie, security consulting), there is
certainly some people who are sexist, but overall, it's a *real field*
dominated by *adults*.

bleah. silly, silly, *silly* article. who *cares* if a bunch of
criminals and criminal-wannabes are sexist? <sigh>
