At Mark Zuckerberg's school I remember a story about him getting in trouble for PHP. The school had a zero tolerance drug policy and PHP was confused with PCP.

"If your son is using Quake, you should make hime understand that this is not acceptable to you. You should ensure all the firearms in your house are carefully locked away, and have trigger locks installed. You should also bring your concerns to the attention of his school." Holy moly!
Is your son or daughter safe from the Russian menace "Tetris"? Some common symptoms include them attempting to organize their room into well fitting shapes such as neatly fitting boxes. True Hackers use Compuserve or Prodigy.

Wow, amazing satire. Can someone provide some context - what is this website? I tried to go to Front Page but I think we're hugging the site to death.
Even better - you can now troll Bill Gates by reminding him that Linux was both more successful than and outlasted his marriage:)
