With so much infuriating nonsense in this thread I feel fucking compelled:

    Access to computers - and anything which might teach you something about the way the world really works - should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!
    All information should be free.
    Mistrust authority - promote decentralization.
    Hackers should be judged by their acting, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race, or position.
    You can create art and beauty on a computer.
    Computers can change your life for the better.
    Don't litter other people's data.
    Make public data available, protect private data.
