For some reason, my Stumbleupon likes to bring me to links of hacking, and I have no idea what the links are trying to say. It seems like it would be an interesting thing to learn, though.
Yah it's like the whole pizazz is gone. There's no more mystery, there's just research and understanding. So boring unless you have people to share it with.
You obviously have no experience in hacking. No two circumstances are ever the same. If you are into that, there's always new things being thrown at you. Always a new challenge.
