Run-in with the Telephone Company! This is a story about my recent conversation with a "representive" from a phone company. These statements are true, this is not a test! (W= me, T= phone company) W: Hello T: Is Mr. XXXXXXX there? W: No T: Am I talking to XXXXXX XXXXXX (me)? W: Yes you are T: This is Mr DICKHEAD from AT&T. I am calling to find out how much Long Distance calls your family makes a month. W: Well we really don't make any. T: Do your parents own a calling card? W: Uhh, yes i think they do. T: Do you know how to use it? W: Who the hell is this?! W: So what does all this have to do with me. T: We have had complaints from companies around the 407 area being called up and hacked into. W: So. How am I involved in this? T: After recieving this news, we set up extra operators to watch all outgoing sequential calls W: What's wrong with scanning for #'s? I do it to look for BBSes to call! T: And that's it? W: YES!! T: Do you know what Phone Fraud or the term Hacking mean? W: No sir T: It is the stealing of other people's calling cards and the illegal breaking into a computer system. W: Well I can assure you that I have not done any of this. T: Well, that could be true, but we will be watching what #'s come out of your phone line. W: You do that. I'll see you later! Well that's my most recent run-in with trouble. That was about 4 days ago. I haven't heard from him since, but I also haven't been Scanning #'s since either! The moral is, HANG UP ON THEM WHEN THEY SAY WHO THEY ARE! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> II.> Beyond The Cutting Egde: "Mondo 2000". Taken from NEWSWEEK Beyond the Cutting Edge "A slick magazine for the cyberpunk crowd" Reprinted WITHOUT permissions from NEWSWEEK: August 19, 1991 Once again a new edge is busily being carved in Berkeley. It's the end of the first decade of personal computers. Music is just a mass of digits. The only reality worth talking about if virtual. And the science of the moment is chaos. Now, working out of a Bay Area mansion, a small crew is hoping to lead the way to -- and profit from -- the new era just ahead. Their vehicle is a magazine called Mondo 2000. And if, wrote in another context, something is happening here but you don't know what it is, well, they intend to tell you. But be warned, if you're not a cyberpunk, prepare to enter this world slowly. Mondo's cyberpunk universe derives from the work of Sci-Fi novelist Wiliam Gibson, whose best-selling books depict a bleak world controlled by multi-national corperations, where the hereos rebel and turn technology to their own ends by crashing computer systems or finding exotic drugs. Mondo's language is English but the meaning can be elusive. The first three issues of the slick quarterly roamed across cyber-lifestyle, with articles that ranged from atrifical sex via computer to ho to legally purchase drugs designed to make you smarter. Together with the brown paper Whole Earth Review -- the magazine for cyberhippies -- Mondo is filling a niche. One San Fracisco critic calls is the Rolling Stone of the 90's. Analyst Paul Saffo of the Menlo Park, CA Institute for the Future, goes further: "This kind of magazine that engineers read in their teens and influences what they build 20 years later. It's an idea time bomb." And there are plenty of ideas. Recent Mondo issues included a bizarre conversation between Timothy Leary and Williams Borroughs, a description of aphrodisacs that might work, a report on computerized break-ins at ATM's and a speculative piece about "wire-heading" -- implanting electrodes into the brain's pleasure centers. Presiding this are two top editors who prefer to use odd pseudonyms: Queen Mu and R.U. Sirius. Going Mainstream: "We're techologic renagades," sais editor in chief Sirius (real name Ken Goffman). Cyberpunks come in all genders. Queen Mu (real name Alison Kennedy), "Domineditrix" of the magazine, says that 40% of its readers are women. "People either get it or they come up a cpmplete blank. But there's a real cult that follows us," says Sirius. "Mondo," says one fan, Stephen Beck, a computer manufactirer in Alameda, CA, "is `Build Your Vocabulary,' using jet fuel instead of motor oil." Now Mondo is going mainstream: it has a HarperCollins contract to produce "A User's Guide to the New Edge." The New Edge, as it were, is full of contradictions. The classic Berkeley hills mansion out of which Mondo works is funded partly by Queen Mu's inheritance from her parents. The decor is dark woods, conventional furniture -- and plenty of computers. The working drugs of choice are diet Coke and pizza. Off the job, Mu is a student of drugs (henbane, lolina, darnel) used in withcraft -- one of which paralyzed her briefly. She says she's not a with, but may be a pixie: at one recent party she asked dinner guests whether they'd like toad venom (a psychedelic) with dessert. All declined. What's next for Mondo 2000? The coming issue will feature the history of transsexualism. "Someday we may be able to change our bodies into anything we want," says Mu. "Or go into a room and say we want a purple chameleon, and a chameleon wil appear." If that's the case, then what does the future hold for magazines? "By 2000, magazines will be obsolete," says Sirius, flipping his shoulder-length hair. "We'll be the last magazine." Or, perhaps, he'll be a balding entrepreneur wondering where all the time went. Brave New Words ----- --- ----- Cyberspace: Where cyberpunks frolic, love, fight and swap information in a shared computer land connected only by their keyboards. Virtual Reality: Using computer, touch-sensitive gloves and goggles to imitate reality. Hackers: Now an acceptable term for computer enthusiasts. Crackers: The new word for bad hackers who invade other computers or a telephone system.

Loops, what the hell are they???? I've heard many a confusing description. One of the best descriptions, the one by Phred Phreak, completely misled me until I met a nice man who set me straight again. Anyway- I digress. Phred Phreak said: "Imagine two telephone numbers are floating around in your CO. Then you and your friend each call these numbers at the same time, and BAM! your connected" That gets across some of the Idea of loops. They are two phone numbers, and one person can talk to the other when both numbers, or sides are called. Here is an example: Let's say that the loop numbers are 555-0098/555-0099 (the two numbers usually are right in a row like that). You dial up one side or end of a loop. Which side you call does not matter, but your friend must call the other. You dial 555-0098, and Bob (your phriend that you are going to chat with) dials 555-0099. Bingo- you two can now converse. What happens if you call one side of the loop and no one is on the other? Well, thats a good question and I'm glad that I asked myself. No one will be there for one thing. On the high side (the side with a numericaly higher phone number) you will hear absolutly nothing. If you call the low side however, you will get a tone. This tone will continue until someone calls the high side. IF you call (407)646-69XX then you get a tone exactly like the one you would get if you found the low side of a loop. NOTE: When you dial a loop, the phone will not get a ring. The loop side will immediatly pick up. If you are 99XX scanning, and you get a ring- you have not found a loop. NOTE: Sometimes you will find tones that are not a part of loops, like the 646-69XX numbers above. Uses for Loops: By far the most useful thing to do with a loop is to have one person call a side, and have your phriend call the operator to place a collect call to the other side of a loop. Then you can hang up and place a collect call to your friend who is still waiting at the loop. This is a convienent way of avoiding Ma Bell when you want to talk with people out of your calling area. Some Loops don't charge you when you call them, even if you dial long distance. This is called Non-Sup (for non-supervised). Pirate Radio Stations use them to get song requests and keep from being traced. Usually what they do is give out the high side to call and wait at the low (its a lot easier to detect if someone has called the high side from the low then to detect if someone called the low side from the high because the tone stops when someone calls in- although you will hear an audible click no matter which side you are listening from). I'm not quite sure what else you can do with loops. I've heard the legends that in the olden days there were multi-line non-sup loops, and the Ancient Phreaks would talk for hours on end about the fun with Blue Boxes, but such days are gone now. Maybe TAP or ZAN or whatever will help to bring phreaking to level it was Before, but I doubt it. From the Apathy I've seen on Villa Straylite, this phile will probably be useless because no one will look for any loops.

Many sysops around the use other sysops blacklist. To get someone blacklisted, you : 1.> Get all of the users information. (i.e. name, #, and address) 2.> Get a list of all the boards he/she calls. 3.> Give the reason why he is to blacklisted. 4.> Spread this around to other SysOps. And before you know it, you "friend" will be off every board he's every called! This comes in handy for cases where file leeches are present. Or if a user is just being a total dick. Out he goes!

Covered will be the two primary methods used in America today, smoking and eating/drinking, with smoking being the more common method. There are a whole lot of lies, half-truths, myths, and supposition about the consumption of marijuana this is an attempt to clear things up as much as possible. Smoking ------- Smoking is the quickest but least efficient method of ingesting marijuana and experiencing its effects. Marijuana smoke contains a number of carcinogens, many of which can be removed if the smoke is filtered through a water bong but it will still contains some carcinogens and can be an irritant. Studies have shown THC has a bronchiodialator effect, which may be effective in purging the particulates from the lungs. Joints Joints, marijuana cigarettes, are the perennial favorite of many people. They are "shake", marijuana which has had the stems and seeds removed, which is inside a fold of rice paper and then rolled into a cylinder. This is the singularly most portable method to smoke grass once the joint has been rolled. When a joint has been smoked down to the point that it is difficult to hold it is called a "roach" and wide variety of paraphernalia exists which are designed to hold the roach without burning oneself. Collectively known as "roach clips" they include tweezers, alligator clips, forceps, needle nose pliers, and ceramic pieces with holes through them. There are a number of devices available to facilitate rolling a joint. Absolutely essential is a cleaning tray to remove the stems and seeds from the lose marijuana. There are a number of papers available with which to roll ones joint, varying in color, pattern, size, and presence of gummed edges. There are rolling "machines" which make the process of rolling a joint much less ticklish, but with practice and skill at rolling joints these tend to hinder more than help. One of the more intriguing techniques of smoking a joint is taking what is known as a powerhit. This is accomplished by having an accomplice surround the burning end of the joint with their mouth, taking care not to allow their skin to come into contact with the glowing end, and blowing while one takes a hit from the other end. This can be somewhat dicey, but is one of the more intimate ways of sharing a joint. Etiquette requires one to pass the joint in a circular fashion through those present. No one is required to take a toke if they do not care to, but they are expected to pass it on if it comes to them. "Bogartting", hoarding the joint when it comes to you, is a SERIOUS breach of protocol. People too stoned to smoke the joint let alone pass it are expected to be skipped over and a joint can (politely) be removed from someone if they do not seem to be sharing the consensus reality. Bongs Bongs, or water pipes if you are in a head shop, pass the smoke through water to cool and filter it. Grass is put into a bowl on the end of a tube whose other end is in a sealed container partially filled with water. The end of the bowl's tube is below the level of the water so that as the smoke exits the pipe it is bubble through a layer of water. The air pressure in the chamber is lowered by breathing through another tube that stays above the water level in the chamber. When the air pressure inside the chamber is lowered, air from outside the chamber passes through the bowl and its tube and bubbles through the water. Bongs are not particularly portable, as they tend to be awkward, delicate, and heavy. Sizes range from the size of a small pill container to eight foot tall escapees from a mad scientist laboratory. Principally made from glass, plastic, ceramic, and metal they can be an art form unto themselves. The principal benefit of smoking grass through a bong is that the smoke is cooled and several carcinogens are removed without removing the active ingredients. One can put any number of liquids in the chamber to filter the smoke, and beer or other forms of alcohol are often used, but this is not recommended. The active ingredients in marijuana are fat and alcohol soluble and when filtered through such substances the active ingredients go into solution. In addition the carcinogens in marijuana smoke are water soluble so that when smoke passes through some liquid other than water one loses active ingredients and gains carcinogens in the smoke entering your lungs. One method recommended is to put ice water in the chamber, the cooled water is not quite as effective at removing the carcinogens but the additional cooling is favored among smokers. Carburetors are small openings in the chamber that are covered during the hit and towards the end opened to allow all the smoke to escape the chamber. Occasionally one finds a bong designed so that carboration is accomplished by lifting the bowl slightly and allowing the air to enter the bowl tube. Pipes Pipes are the simplest devices used to smoke marijuana. For the most part they are similar to pipes used to smoke tobacco but marijuana pipes should be made of heat resistant materials such as stone, ivory, metal, glass, and occasionally harder woods. Grass does not tend to stay lit in pipe so flame constantly has to be applied to bowl which heats it up more than pipes with tobacco in them typically are heated. A common variant of pipe is the stash pipe, a pipe where one may store a small amount of grass. Some stash pipes are constructed in such a manner that the the smoke passes through the stash area so that the grass inside is bathed in the smoke and acquires a coating of resin which contains THC thus making it more potent when it is turn is smoked. There are glass hash pipes which are used to smoke hashish and hashish oil, the materiel is placed in the bowl as with other pipes but instead of heat being applied to the top of the substance it is applied to the bottom of the pipe. One-hits One-hits, or dugouts as they are sometimes called, are a highly portable method of smoking grass for someone who does not want to smoke an entire joint at one time. A one-hit is a small metal tube that has a small cavity at one end and a mouthpiece at the other. One presses the cavity into a small container of cleaned grass to fill it and then is lit somewhat like a cigarette and inhaled steadily until the grass is gone. One only gets one inhalation or "hit" per filling thus it is called a one hit. A dugout is small wooden container which has a space for the cleaned grass and another space for the one-hit itself. Gas Pipes Gas Pipes are open ended tubes with a small bowl mounted near one end perpendicular to the main axis of the tube. The end near the bowl is covered with your hand and the smoke is drawn into the tube until the bowl is burned out then the hand is removed and all the smoke in the tube rushes into your lungs. These are usually made from glass, though occasionally one will find plastic pipes. Gravity Bongs Gravity bongs are more a style of smoking than a particular apparatus for the consumption of marijuana. With a gravity bong one uses water pressure to create the vacuum in a chamber rather then one's lungs as with water pipes and gas pipes. A gravity bong is made by placing a cylinder that is open at one and and closed except for a place for a bowl at the other. The open end is placed in a large container of water until the chamber of the cylinder is filled with water. The filled bowl is then attached and a flame is applied to the marijuana in it. The cylinder is lifted slowly up. As the cylinder is lifted up the water trapped inside will seek to escape out the open end into the container due to the force of gravity. This creates a vacuum at the top of the chamber near the bowl, this vacuum sucks the smoke from the burning marijuana into the chamber replacing the water. A tube may reach from the bowl to near the base of the cylinder making it a true bong or the end may not actually enter the water so that is is similar to a gas pipe. after the material in the bowl has been burned and the smoke has filled the chamber the bowl is removed and the cylinder is pushed back down into the container. As the water re-enter the chamber it forces the smoke out where and hopefully into an expectant individual. This is the most common form of a water bong but any number of similar schemes exist which can use the vacuum created by the exiting water to draw the smoke, and then use that water again to force it out of the chamber. Tilt Pipes Tilt pipes are pipes which have a heating element built into the pipe at the bowl, the element heats the marijuana to sub-flammable temperature but which will activate and release the cannabanoids, or active ingredients, from the plant material. Most smoking accessories apply an external flame to the marijuana which vaporizes and breaks down many cannabanoids before they can be consumed, thus wasting a portion of the active ingredients in the marijuana. These device tend to be very rare usually only found among connoisseurs. They are called tilt pipes because one tilts the pipe to bring the marijuana into contact with the heating element. Eating & Drinking ----------------- The active ingredients in cannabis are fat and alcohol soluble so they can be extracted and added to foodstuff entering the system through the digestive tract rather than through the lungs. This type of consumption of marijuana tend to be both slower and more efficient than smoking it. Further the noxious effects of consuming heated smoke are completely eliminated. For these reasons this is the favored method of marijuana consumption by many people. Eating Marijuana must be heated before being consumed to activate the cannabanoids so one cannot simply eat raw grass. The traditional method of eating it is to cook it in a brownie, especially when it is in the form of hashish, though it can be used in any number of things. The recommended method of eating marijuana is to saute it in butter or margarine over medium heat, then to strain the remaining solids out and use the butter to cook with. One can use this marijuana butter to make brownies, cook vegetables, or however else one might use butter to cook with, one can even spread it on a slice of bread. Many people will mix the the residual solids in with whatever they are cooking in hopes of making use of whatever cannabanoids might still be in them, but if done properly this in not generally valuable. A typical ratio for making the marijuana butter is one stick of butter to one eight of an ounce of marijuana, and headed for fifteen to twenty minutes. Drinking -------- One may extract the active ingredients from marijuana using alcohol and then use this tincture to make a potent drink. The highest proof alcohol available should be used, preferably 190 proof grain alcohol, since the water in the alcohol will dissolve other chemicals in the marijuana that one wishes to avoid. Some suggest soaking the grass in warm water for a period to remove those chemicals but that presents a whole host of other and is not really recommended. One may simply place the marijuana into a bottle of grain alcohol and let the canabanoids leach out, but this takes 2-3 weeks of time. A faster method is to heat the alcohol to sub-boiling and stir in the marijuana. Great deal of care should be taken if this method is chosen as the alcohol is highly flammable. The resulting tincture, often called "Green Dragon", is a light to emerald green liquid, which can be drunk straight, but this is not recommended. Highly lauded is a drink of 3 parts lemon lime soda, 1 part green dragon and a dollop of honey served over ice. -[TAP] The Alliance Publications <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> VII.> Storytime! LSD Experience LSD Experience For many years, LSD has been used by many individuals to "enlighten" their sense of being. LSD is a physchdelic that alters an individuals perception into the true essence of existence. LSD is a gateway to inner enlightenment, a true sense of fulfillment. On one of my recent voyages into the "unknown" brought me to discover a plane of existance that only one who truly trips can see. It's a world of flashing light, comet trails, distorted images, and reality. Ahhh, you say reality? Yes reality. A reality that is unvailed from which has been hidden from us by our goverment. A reality that will literally shred all things known to exist, apart. LSD comes in many different colors, and dosages. Many different things will be shown to you as you journey along the brightly lit halls in which you travel. Things will suddenly become clearer and clearer as you daze of into your own personal little reality. Who said dreams can't come true? With this wonder "drug" thing WILL come true. I'm not saying go out and find your local drug pusher and spend your lunch- money on a hit. But whenever you have the time and money to spare. Why not try it? What else will you do, clean your room? <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> VIII.> Appendix Boards that belong to the all powerfull governing body of The Alliance Productions: The Villa Straylight The Lair of the Wolverine (407) 297 1180 (407) XXX-XXXX Home of Alliance Dist Site #1 WWIVnet @4703 WWIVnet @4701 The Temple of the Answering Machine (407) 291 6894 Dist Site #2 Illuminati Along with anonymous [ZAN] boards....leave message to us for application for a [ZAN] board. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> March 18, 2118 (c) CopyMYright The Alliance Production Publications 11:10 pm (c) CopyTHEIRright Zhit Axis Nation Kiss them for me!
