12. (From Independence Day) No matter what kind of virus it is, any computer can be infected with it -- even an alien spaceship's computer -- simply by running a virus upload program on a laptop.

The virus and upload program in Independence Day could have been specifically targeted for the alien system (which they already could have obtained and studied, since they had the crashed spaceship in Area 51).

Ah, then we simply add:

It is straightforward to figure out how an alien OS works and write a virus for it.

Well, they had decades to work on it with the nation's top scientists... it's not THAT farfetched, especially if the system has gone through potentially centuries of lax security (the aliens only target races that didn't even come close in terms of technological development).

It's entirely possible that a hive-minded alien race, having gone centuries without a real threat, would do something as stupid as allowing remote code execution from a docked spacecraft.

Hackers!=Open-Source Activists.
its purely academic slang to call people who code some lunix crap hackers.
They are programmers.

They code factorials in toy languages and circle jerk about their "SICP knowledge"(a beginner's course computer science/programming book)

Actually hackers are people who break into computer systems.

You do realise that /prog/ is actually a parody of more sensible programming forums, right?

Programmers create software,Hackers break software.
either approach reveals some insights of inner feature of the system.

Its not. Your jokes and memes are amalgamation of 4chan subculture and anonymous pack mentality.
It wouldn't qualify as humor as its made of in-jokes and jargon invented on the spot.

Our entire repository of ``in jokes'' consists of the constant repitition of at most five distinct phrases. An eight year old could come here not only understand, but be able to reproduce for an intended comedic effect our jokes after thirty minutes. The fact you try and claim that said ``jokes'' are a product of our wider subculture is completely fallicious. What's more, over half of the oft repeated phrases are infact direct parodies on what you would see in a regular programming forum, lavishly sprinkled with BBCode.

No, there are at least eight. I would know, as you see, I know the guy who invented all these memes.

Actually there is a whole level of in-jokes that most of you guys just don't or can't get. There's probably another level below that too, but I haven't reached that stage yet.
