Bikers and hackers?

"I think that a cross between a Harley and a really killer linux box would be wild."

If I recall correctly, it's been done. There was a Slashdot article sometime last year about a guy who set up a Linux box inside his motorcycle to take action photographs and video.

If you meant something along the lines of Kif from Nightrider, yeah, that'd be pretty neat too.

hehe... that gave me the image of David Hasselhoff sitting around on comfy couches in the back of that tractor trailer with the rest of his team, just getting baked.

KITT was the car on Knightrider, Kif is the little green guy with no pants on Futurerama. :-)

Hacking and Motorcycle riding are crossing each others ends and beginnings while going transverse, I guess that's the anology I'd use. I would say around 20 years ago bikers where getting locked up just for riding through suburbs and countryside towns, and Hackers where getting contracts from industry leading companys to do engineering related work; where presently Hackers are being imprisoned and causing intelligence agencys to go hog wild on the telecommunications grid, and bikers are commonly yuppies and marketing pukes who had twenty grand to dispose of on a Harly Davidson. It's like allice in wonderland with a consumerism theme.

yes... if pronounced with a short "i" vowel. With a long "e" vowel (phonetically, keef) it applies to my joke... altho what with the connection between illicit substances and adult swim programming on cartoon network, they are both related i would say.
