    I worked for an old person’s tech support (kinda like geek squad but remote) and I kid you not one of our regulars would have us help them install and maintain script monkey so they could cheat at Farmville on Facebook. Every week or so they would call in because their hacks stopped working and we’d have to reload the updated scripts.

      To be honest, that would be my dream job. I work with computers. I don’t kill children or work for the military. And I’m pretty sure you probably made okay money. What’s that business called, yo?

      You should check out Artifacts MMO. It’s a game designed to be played through REST API

        There used to be a Firefox extension that would show the other Facebook users browsing on your network and let you log in as them.

      And yet my Facebook profile persists.

      I’m going to have to delete it myself, aren’t I? Why can’t some “hacker” just steal it and I never have to think about it again?

    I remember a similar comic where there was an additional panel where granny explained she wanted to get back at her friend Susan (or another name, can’t recall)

    Oh, I’ve had this conversation before. The man wanted me to take down a page that had accused him of doing something illegal. Yeah, he’s a selfish asshole.
