I just received a phone call from someone trying to hack my computer, I had great fun with him!
The conversation went something like this (shortened, lasted about 10 minutes):-
Him "Hello you need to do some checks on your computer"
Me "Which one?"
Him "The one you connect to the internet with"
Me "I have 5 computers connected to the internet, which one has a problem and how do you know, have you been hacking my system?"
Him "Your main windows computer"
Me "I don't have a windows computer"
Him "What do you mean, you can't use the internet without windows!"
Me "I use linux not windoze"!
... long pause, then
Him "what?"
I don't use windoze, I use linux"
he then hung up!

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
