Dear metaphorical Japenese soldier stranded on an island in the South Pacific:

The war is over. You lost.

Love,

The Crushing Imperialist Juggernaut of Common Usage.

A lot of people would take this opportunity to rant about hackers being dickheads. I'm not going to do that. It's unproductive, and it fails to recognize the contributions hackers and ex-hackers have made to society

Hackers in the first sense are dickheads, full stop.

I dismiss this as propaganda from the enemy.
