What kind of computer did you guys have when you were younger?

I had a VIC 20 and a Commodore SX-64.  Then eventually an AMIGA 500.  With a whopping 1Mb of ram!!!  OOOOHHH!!!!

[Sandra Kristen]

*sigh* Come on, Art. Stop scaring people who don't understand the situation.

Braapwells!

Should be good tonight. Hacker stuff is always muy interesting.

Braaps Zen

Shit, we got THE...    Kevin Mitnick tonight. This should be phenomenal.

[maren]

Not really into hacking stuff, but tuning in for a bit anyway.

Years ago Art had one of the very first well known hackers on -- I think he went by the name Capn' Crunch?  Anyway, I wasn't at all interested -- something to do with hacking pay phones or something?  Yawn.  Well, I was riveted, GREAT radio and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about -- and lots of hackers called in -- it was fascinating.

Maybe it'll be better than you think

[Zenman]

Good evening Zenman!

Hi, starr! Hey, you're all over the internet. I think I've heard you on every show I listen to.

[zmbabwe]

Ugh, Art giving the old party line on guns.

Perhaps. I'm willing to give it a chance.

Hey, Sand. Most definitely. One of my favourite subjects.

[Autistic Star Children]

Hey, how about a no-Jaz line? 

Bwhahaha!  Only if you promise to call in, Zenman!

Didn't they just announce that there were blue skies on Pluto and a huge amount of red water?

[Art]

Anybody remember when the breakup of Yugoslavia was supposed to ignite WWIII?

Just GabCast and a couple times I called into Art's show.  But thanks for noticing Zenman.

World War 3 has been going on for years.  Fought by the bankers.

Yeah, Capt Crunch would be a good guest to revisit though I'm told he has some serious health problems recently. He was more of a phreaker which, to me, seemed more cool and easy to understand. And interesting. The coding, computer stuff goes over my head though the social engineering aspect of modern day fraud/hacking is interesting. Knowing a victim of Crytpolocker 3.0 I don't have much admiration anymore for hackers, as it seems to have just gone full-bore criminal and not for "fun" or public interest. And often run by criminal gangs/countries. One will note that Anonymous etc doesn't go after the Cartels, as they promised, or criminal gangs etc.

blue skies and ice water..for ya know..alien parties

[maren]

Hi!  So sorry nobody said hi to you.  I'm a relative newbie, but let me give you a welcoming *hug*! 

[Sandra Kristen]

Richard will still find some how to go crazy over the NASA announcement

And this is why we all love Richard.

[cosmic hobo]

I can't believe Art didn't mention the fan funded advertisement in Talkers mentioned in the article. Someone should send him the link.

Yup. Phone Phreaking  2600Hz (Hence hackers identify with 2600 as a call-sign) Captain Crunch. Heard that one live - excellent show.

[zmbabwe]

Speaking of hacking, anybody watch Mr. Robot?

[JamesMcDonald]

And we're the enemy.

Yes.  They're financial terrorists.  Listen to Max Keiser.
