With the advancement of technology comes the advancement of several
other things: knowledge, efficiency, and… trolling? I’m as much of a fan of
made up words as the next person, but the sheer ugliness of the word provoked a
cautious sense of intrigue upon my research into all things “troll”.
During said research I stumbled upon a Gawker article about the master
troll himself, Weev Auernheimer. Essentially, Auernheimer is nothing beyond
your everyday super genius, government hating hacker. He’s arrogant, witty, and very obviously
abusing multiple kinds of drugs. Unfortunately, he couldn’t stay hidden in the
digitized confines of cyberspace forever.
Writer Nathan Adrian follows Auernheimer as he spends his last few hours
as a free man before being locked away in prison for hacking in to, and
obtaining customer information from, mobile service provider AT&T.
If for nothing else, read this article for your own safety. You never
know, the computer whiz sitting next to you might just one day steal your identity.
