QandA with Emmanuel Goldstein of 2600: The Hacker's Quarterly
I think hackers are necessary, and the future of technology and society itself (freedom, privacy, etc.) hinges on how we address the issues today that hackers are very much a part of.
So every time a movie like "Hackers" comes out, 10 million people from AOL send us e-mail saying they want to be hackers, too, and suddenly, every 12-year-old with this sentiment instantly becomes a hacker in the eyes of the media and hence, the rest of society.

 Eric Corley
Eric Corley is viewed as a leader of the computer hacker community and goes by the name "Emmanuel Goldstein[?]", after the leader of the underground in George Orwell’s classic, Nineteen Eighty-Four.
He and his company, 2600 Enterprises, Inc., together publish a magazine called 2600: The Hacker Quarterly, which Corley founded in 1984, and which is widely respected in the hacker community.
The name "2600" was derived from the fact that phreakers in the 1960s found that the transmission of a 2600-hertz tone over a long-distance trunk connection gained access to "operator mode" and allowed the user to explore aspects of the telephone system that were not otherwise accessible.

 'Hackers are necessary': Q&A with Emmanuel Goldstein of 2600: The Hacker's Quarterly
Now, we have a small but vocal group who insist on calling anyone they deem unacceptable in the hacker world a "cracker." This is an attempt to solve the problem of the misuse of the word "hacker" by simply misusing a new word.
Also, hackers think of things like phones, computers, pagers, etc., as toys and things to be enjoyed whereas others see work and responsibility and actually come to dread these things.
Hackers are always going to be necessary to the process and we're not easily bored.

 Review of: 2600 The Hacker Quarterly - periodical Newsbytes News Network - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
There is "2600 The Hacker Quarterly," a quarterly magazine with a circulation of approximately 2,500 (1,500 subscriptions, 1,000 newstand).
Founded in 1984, 2600 currently is the size of the Playbills that theater- goers are familiar with and is encased in a slick cover and runs 46 pages.
While 2600 is certainly not for everyone, it is lively and entertaining and, in our judgement, worth the subscription price for anyone having even a slight interest in these topics.

 Hacker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In hacker culture, a hacker is a person who has attained a certain social status and is recognized among members of the culture for commitment to the culture's values and a certain amount of technical knowledge.
This use of hacker as intruder (frequent in the media) generally has a strong negative connotation, and is disparaged and discouraged within the computer community, resulting in the modern Hacker definition controversy.
Hackers who have the ability to write circuit-level code, device drivers, firmware, low-level networking, (and even more impressively, using these techniques to make devices do things outside of their spec sheets), are typically in very high regard among hacker communities.

 Bruce Sterling - The Hacker Crackdown
Hackers are generally teenagers and college kids not engaged in earning a living.
Hackers consistently sneer that anti-phreak prosecutors are angling for cushy jobs as telco lawyers and that computer- crime police are aiming to cash in later as well-paid computer-security consultants in the private sector.
In the worldview of *2600,* the tiny band of techno-rat brothers (rarely, sisters) are a beseiged vanguard of the truly free and honest.

Hackers, in their idealistic naivet?, reveal the facts that they discover, without regard for money, corporate secrets or government coverups.
But for those who can resist this, or figure out a way to incorporate "legitimacy" into their hacker personalities without compromising them, there are some very interesting and fun times ahead.
Hackers come from all different backgrounds and have all kinds of lifestyles.

These changes presented 2600, the self-appointed voice of hacking, with a challenge: how to speak to the new hacker while not abandoning the edge-of-legality spirit that made it such a compelling read.
Granted, many of the articles in 2600 these days are standard nerd-magazine fare (how to get rid of spyware, novel ways of programming your remote control), but the choicer bits still verge on the illegal.
2600 is an interesting read mainly because it deals in taboo subject matter, and arguably it will remain interesting only as long as it stays that way.

The H2K program booklet stated: "This is also the first time ever that a presidential candidate has addressed a hacker convention." Biafra's presence at the conference was evidence of a wedding between several schools of thought: the anarchist, activist, and the hacker.
A hacker and an activist both have inherent anarchistic tendencies within, but when put together a powerful force called hactivism is born.
