　　Hi,Mike. Even surfing the net quite a while. What are on earth you searching for?

　　It's something about hackers. I often hear people talking about them. But I don't know much about them.

　　Well,briefly speaking,a hacker is a computer BOSS.

　　You mean a guy using enthusiastic knowledgable about computer?

　　Well,you can say that.

　　Why are people always having such a negative attitude towards them?

　　They must have mixed hackers with crackers.

　　What are crackers then?

　　There is another group of people who loudly call themselves hackers,but they aren't.

　　They break into computers and break the phone system. Real hackers call these people crackers and want nothing to do with them.

　　So they are two totally different concepts?

　　Well,real hackers mostly think that crackers are lazy,irresponsible,and not very bright,and feel that being able to break security does't make you a hacker anymore than being able to start cars without keys makes you an automotive engineer.

　　Unfortunately many journalists and writers have been fooled into using the word hacker to describe crackers.

　　This irritates real hackers to no end.

　　I see. Then the basic difference is,hackers build things,crackers break them.

　　You got it.

　　Thanks a lot.

　　You're welcome.

　　英语实用口语之网上聊天

　　So how did you meet Bill?

　　I met him through a computer bulletin board.

　　Oh,really? Which bulletin board?

　　It was one I used down at the local coffee house called the San Francisco net. It's been around since about 1991.

　　I've heard about that. But I've never tried it.

　　You ought to. One dollar buys you 15 minutes of computer time.

　　A "chat session" links you with Cappuccino sippers in other cafes and also to home computers on the network.

　　I have no desire to talk on a network with a bunch of strangers.

　　That's the whole point. All your inhibitions disappear because you can't see the other person. This network allows you to talk to people whom you normally wouldn't talk to.

　　I just want a private conversation with one other person.

　　You can do that. A private session lets two people talk alone.

　　This techno-chat program lets you talk about anything with everybody,without prejudice because you can't see them.

　　Well,maybe I'll tag along and watch how you talk.

　　That's fine with me. but we'll have to get there early, because after 8pm there is always a long line.

　　Is that popular?

　　It sure is.

　　Okay,okay. We're there tonight. So what does it cost?

　　One dollar buys 15 minutes of computer time. This talk isn't cheap.

　　I don't know. I'll feel funny talking through a computer.

　　Remember,that's how I met Bill. I guarantee you that you can talk to girls who would never talk to you if they saw your face.

　　What's that supposed to mean?
