Bullshit and BullshittersWe've had questions about lies and liars in the past, but this time we're asking about the sort of fantasist who constantly claims they've got a helicopter in the garden or was "second onto the balcony at the Iranian Embassy siege". Tell us about the cobblers you've been told, or the complete lies you've come out with.
Thanks to dozer for the suggestion

I'm a computer geekBig surprise, huh? Well, when I was 14 we went on a school trip to france and I wondered how far I could push it, so I told my friends I was going to check my email. I sauntered up to a payphone and made modem noises for about 30 seconds, declared they were all spam, then hung up.
I really hope they secretly thought I was a twat, because they otherwise didn't blink at it.

I'm sorry - but this is wonderful stuff......particularly 'made modem noises for about 30 seconds...'!

Well actually...before there were hackers (or even haxors), there were Phone Phreakers. And the first one was a blind kid with perfect pitch who found that he could whistle particular notes and control the phone system.
Google Joe Engressia if you want to learn more...

Whistling at 2600hzand running a TCP/IP stack down to the physical layer in your head are very different things
