I.>  Wintermute's run-in with the Telco!


                     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)
<ring> <ring>
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?!
<he goes on to tell me who he is, and he proves it to.>
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: <Rudley interupting him> So.  How am I involved in this?
T: After recieving this news, we set up extra operators to watch all outgoing
  sequential calls
<That's me Scanning for new carriers to hack>
W: What's wrong with scanning for #'s?  I do it to look for BBSes to call!
T: And that's it?
W: YES!!
<yeah right>
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!
<clunk!  dial tone.........I hung up>


 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.

Smart Drugs: Legal nutrients and drugs said to enhance intelligence, usually
             purchased by mail from Europe or Asia.

Information-surfers: People who browse through computer databases for fun.

                       =======Loops=======


        Hello, I'm Art Fish- I'll be your teacher for this evening.

   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.

IV.>  Blacklisting


  The blacklist is one of the powerfulest ways of getting someone out of
everyone's life.  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!

VI.>  Report on Marijuana


                         Marijuana : The True Story
                           Written by: Wintermute


   This paper is an exposition on the consumption of marijuana for its
psychoactive effects. 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.

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?
