When I was 14, I was busy reading Stephen King and, ummmm, touching myself. A team of five kids in Spain, however, have spent the last two years hacking 21,000 web pages. The youngest pair started at 14 and just got caught after police in Barcelona, Burgos, Malaga, and Valencia worked together to bring down this insolent ring of rapscallions.
Why were they caught? The kids defaced the website of the left-wing allience (Izquierda Unida) and essentially pissed off the wrong people.

Are you implying that you have stopped touching yourself?

I think it’s stupid that you show a bullfighter when talking about spain …
most of spanish people don’t like bullfighing … and some of us are against it. Fullfighting is not something that represents spanish culture …

Unfortunately, there is nothing that represents a culture best but its worst stereotypes. As an american I get tired of fat, rodeo-going mcdonalds-eaters being our face to the world, just as you’re tired of matadors and bulls. It’s a sad situation.

By that way Devin, next time i publish something about USA, should i show a photo of an american soldier killing an arabian family in Iran?
Don’t be stupid man? Stereotipes are dangerous for everyone.
P.D.: It was an extrema comparision

C’mon man… Are you so uneducated for put a bullfighter when speak about Spanish people whatever be the topic? You need a bit more imagination, and get a bit more culture : http://www.spain.info/
Do you need pictures that represent Spain? Here you are:

Bullfightings just represent the old fashion and conservative Spain, the part that all of us want forget. I’m Spanish, and for me is an insult.

¿why not publishing a photo showing a map of Spain? Or something related with computers, or hacking, or cracking…
Bullfiting has got nothing to do with computers…

Da igual, no te esfuerces.
Estos siguen creyendo que vamos por la calle vestidos de luces los hombres, las mujeres de gitana, que vivimos en un desierto y nos alimentamos ¡a base de tacos!. Ni siquiera saben dónde está Huelva, lugar desde el que partió Colón.
Luego van presumiendo de su sistema educativo…
