Isnt there a forum for famous people to chat & not be bothered with pms, emails, and requests for autographs?

Please, no requests for autographs, photos, or other bothersome banter.

I will be holding a meet and greet later.

:p

You got my respect and I visit your site all the time now because of it. Ever since you made me famous :D you linked to a PC retro contoller link that uses REAL original controllers for the PC, and you mentioned my name. :thumbsup:

Your site is really nice I really enjoy "the edge" of ihacked

company owner Bruce Erichsen says his network of dealers only sells to authorized governmental users

My ass, you just have to select what field you're using it for, not verification of any sorts from what I say on that site.

Interesting, Dark Dante I believe came on a few of the phone bridge conversations we'd have in the mid to late 80's. The LoD and MoD hacking wars originated on that same bridge one night when Corrupt was mistaken for SN (a hacker by the name of SuperNig.er). I believe MIRT's or a similar device was around then as well. Mostly people worked on boxes...the Hallmark greeting card red box was discovered about then.

Well, the article on Wired was about how it's now illegal to sell MIRTs, so if he made money selling them, he'd probably be headed to a FPMITA prison.

I have been contacted by a WSJ reporter but declined the interview.

They've contacted a few AT'ers regarding Hot Deals.

We've also had our fair share of media exposure especially during Black Friday :p

Hm... I wonder which poster works for WSJ, or if it's just a lurker? I was contacted too, for comments about the Super Bowl from people who don't watch it :p
