	Great Hackers
		Great hackers think of it as something they do for fun, and which they're delighted to find people will pay them for.
		When I think about the great hackers I know, one thing they have in common is the extreme difficulty of making them work on anything they don't want to.
		Perhaps great hackers can load a large amount of context into their head, so that when they look at a line of code, they see not just that line but the whole program around it.

	Legion of Doom

	Hacker Notes - War Dialer
		War dialers are generally available as freeware on hacker sites, although as the proliferation of the internet has grown their usage as fallen.
		The war dialer in War Games is not very sophisticated as it only finds phone numbers which are suspected to be computer dial-in lines.
		This is great for users who work off site from a single location, but it does not work well for users which move around from place to place.

	Masters of Deception - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		They were unrecognizable as the stereotypical profile or media interpretation of how a traditional hacker looks or acts.Acid Phreak founded Masters of Deception with Scorpion and Hac.
		The name itself was a mockery of LOD, as 'M' is one letter down in the alphabet from 'L', although the name originally was a flexible acronym that could be used to identify membership in situations where anonymity would be the best course of action.
		As a result of their participation in the Great Hacker War, five of its members were indicted in 1992 in federal court.

	The Insecure American
		Hacker characterizes economic insecurity as "the defining feature of the contemporary American economy," and his book provides a fresh diagnosis of a familiar complex of problems from structural unemployment to the erosion of retirement plans you can retire on.
		Hacker calls for wage insurance, Medicare-For-All, and a new Universal Pension on top of Social Security to mitigate the risks of living in a dynamic economy.
		These politics follow from the existential reality feelingly described by Hacker: "For most, insecurity is a private experience, hidden away behind closed doors, felt in quiet despair." Fear has tended to drive voters to the right, toward self-blame and its projection in social resentment.

		Hacker wars are attempts to damage people or organizations using cyberspace.
		It is common for hacker wars that start as a private disagreement to spill over and affect thousands or even millions of bystanders.

	PART ONE: Crashing the System
		But Bell had accomplished a great feat; he was an idol of millions and his influence, wealth, and great personal charm, combined with his eccentricity, made him something of a loose cannon on deck.
		Hackers and code-thieves were wily prey, slinking back to their bedrooms and basements and destroying vital incriminating evidence at the first hint of trouble.
		Even the young hackers were crafty and suspicious, and as for the professional grifters, they tended to split for the nearest state-line at the first sign of trouble.

	Paradox Interactive Forums - The Great North American War
		The United States was woefully unprepared for war, and had to resort to emergency measures for her defense, mobilizing many of the farmers and workers in non-vital industries such as glass and furniture and clothing.
		These great feats were performed by expeditionary forces a fraction of the size of the current standing US army, as the bulk of US power was guarding the seemingly endless borders of the United States from Canadian, Texan and Confederate incursions.
		Had this war gone like wars in the last few decades, Canada would have had time to mobilize, Britain would have had time to reinforce, but this was a war of timing and movement.

	The Old Joel on Software Forum - I am a great hacker
		To become really great, on the other hand, you also have to be lucky enough to get the right idea at the right time.
		It was also around this time that serious cracking episodes were first covered in the mainstream press—and journalists began to misapply the term ``hacker'' to refer to computer vandals, an abuse which sadly continues to this day.
		I guess that I was a great hacker in those days, although it was a commercial venture, so maybe that disqualifies me.

		As far as Moriarty goes, in at least one interview he claims to be forming his own third party, "the Realists." Of course, he also claims a lot of other weird shit, most of which even you wouldn't fall for.
		About the only thing he has going for him is that he opposes the war on Iraq, but that's mainly because he thinks it's some kind of Bush conspiracy or something -- otherwise, he seems basically committed to nuking all Muslims.

		Despite kind words for the book, however, both Matt and Ezra appear to want something more -- in Matt’s case, a more full-throated attack on inequality; in Ezra’s, a deeper exploration of political power, or rather the lack of it among Americans facing the trends I describe (and the challenge of restoring it to them).
		It is that over the last generation, problems once confined to the working poor -- lack of health insurance and access to guaranteed pensions, job insecurity and staggering personal debt, bankruptcy and home foreclosure -- have crept up the income ladder to become an increasingly normal part of middle-class life.
		And yet the share of kids without insurance is basically the same today as it was in the 1970s, because employers continue their steady retreat from the benefit obligations they took on in the past.
