Why can Fedora Core 7 be hacked

[Fluxburn]

What is this, a right of passage? I can't even use my linux box and learn because some idiot is hacking me, and interrupting the keyboard input.

Wtf am I supposed to do when I can't even use the computer for a minute without this faggot messing with my keyboard input.

Well, if someone IS interrupting your keyboard input--the proper word is "hacked" or "cracked" or jacked"--past tense usage of course.

Bob--someone---- close this one before I am tempted to come back again...please!
Geeze, what a field day this can present!

lolz.. i was gonna reply but for the OP of the thread, to blame Fedora for this is plainly stupid, it could of happened on any Distro you were running,

How do you, you was hacked ? Could be a keyboard problem ?

Bah I figured it out, the ssh was a "trusted" source on the firewall. It was a human, not the keyboard. that was the vibe I got.

Look, I normally just wear this stuff in this place but I've had enough of it. The preceding two posters have covered the Fedora issue but I want to raise another one.

I'm gay and I really, really object to people using terms like "faggot" and "gay" as terms of abuse and derision. Using offensive terms about other groups wouldn't be tolerated, profanity isn't tolerated here and I fail to see why this should be acceptable either.

It might seem like a minor issue to some people but it's a big deal to me and I'm sure the other gay members of this forum. It's not the first time this has happened here and it's been irritating me for a while. It makes this community seem unwelcoming and unfriendly. It's difficult to participate in a place under such circumstances.

I'm going to report this fellows comment. I'm hopeful that our Moderators/Community Managers will deal with this matter appropriately.

Agreed. We have nearly 100,000 members and diversity of every sort. Please refrain from using terms that are offensive and THINK a bit before posting. As this problem is 'solved', I'll close the thread.
