The most 31337 candidate in history
It seems that Beto O'Rourke was a computer hacker. Not just a hacker, but a member of the Cult Of The Dead Cow hacking group. They are supposedly the ones who popularized the term "31337" (meaning "elite") way back in the '90s.
Wow.
As a politician he may be agood call goof ball, but it seems he has considerable H4X0r cred.

I find it hard to believe he has those skills. Nothing about his speech patterns or anything we see in public would indicate higher than average intelligence.
It could all be an act and in private conversation he could come across differently, but in everything I've seen he comes across as a typical poli-sci student. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Yeah, this guy doesn't seem like he was involved in writing Back Orifice. Maybe he drew their ASCII art.
SigGraybeard, maybe he was part of the group as the pizza and soda boy. Even geeks have geek wanna-be hanger-ons.
What I find interesting is the news that came out over the weekend that journalists had held onto lots of negative info on him until way after his failed campaign. And now that he's tossed his hat into the presidential ring, suddenly it is all starting to come out.
Very interesting, no? Wonder who the 'wonder candidate' of 2020 will be (wonder candidate being the idjit from left field like Bill Clinton in 1992 or BHO in 2008. Seriously, who ever heard of those two knuckleheads really until well into the campaigning?)
SiGraybeard, there was a very unfortunate autocomplete scrambling on the last sentence. I've fixed it.
That said, anyone who was hanging with CdC back in the 80s was sort of by definition smarter than your average bear. Might not have been a coder but CdC did not tolerate technology fools.
From what I read he was into the Apple II warez scene and ran a BBS, and did some long-distance code theft to dial BBS's in other parts of the country. Pretty standard stuff for 80's computer geeks.
Nah, he was just a warez guy.
