There's 2 kinds of "hackers" one is a true hacker who starts out with an passion or hobby writing code and spends all his/her time doing it or constantly trying news ways of overloading or testing to uncover bugs or weakness for certain software. These people are the quiet group never boastful or revealing too much about themselves, this group the authorities take seriously.

The other is what they call a "script kiddie" ie someone who is lazy, doesn't like to write any code but like to looks for tools available on internet like sniffers or join forums try to use somebody's idea, like to brag a lot how good they are - script kiddies mostly loners or nobody trying to be somebody.

The only final outcome for a "Awesome Hacker" is prison. Do something that will affect a lot of people in the world and the FBI will send someone to pick you up .... bring lots of of KY, you gonna need it for your prison pals.

SUBSCRIPTIONS(5)					    InterNetNews Documentation						  SUBSCRIPTIONS(5)

NAME

       subscriptions - Default recommended subscriptions

DESCRIPTION

       The pathetc/subscriptions file contains a list of newsgroups that is returned by the NNTP command LIST SUBSCRIPTIONS.

       Clients that support this command usually send it the first time they connect to a new news server.  They use the returned list to
       initialize the list of subscribed newsgroups.  The subscriptions file therefore should contain groups intended for new users, for testing,
       or that contain FAQs and other useful information for first-time Usenet users.

       The syntax of the subscriptions file is trivial; it is a simple list of newsgroup names, one per line.  The order of newsgroups may be
       significant; the news reading client may present the groups in that order to the user.

EXAMPLE

       A typical subscriptions file may look like:

	   news.announce.newusers
	   news.newusers.questions
	   local.test
	   local.general
	   local.talk
	   misc.test
	   misc.test.moderated
	   news.answers
	   news.announce.newgroups

       This gives the client the FAQs and question newsgroup for new users first, then a local newsgroup for testing and various commonly-read
       local discussion groups, followed by the world-wide test groups, all the FAQs, and announcements of new world-wide newsgroups.  If there is
       a local new users group, one might want to list it first.
