MOD was the Masters of Deception (or Destruction, depending on who you ask). They were not however the first known hacking group. That would be LOD, the Legion of Doom. MOD and LOD had a bitter feud in the late 80's and early 90's that pretty much brought the destruction of both groups. I must backtrack a little. I am somewhat wrong in what I said. the first known hacking group would either be the early MIT hackers or the Homebrew club. It all depends on who you ask. LOD and MOD were seen as "malicious" hackers while people like the Homebrew club were just seen as "nerd" hackers.

(alt + 424). The symbol appears when you release the alt key after typing the numeric code. There are usually 2 characters that can be had from each #. You get the second by putting a 0 in front of the #. For example, alt + 153 will give you a C...alt + 0153 gets you a b" symbol. Macs can do this stuff too, but they use different keystrokes (it is easier on a Mac too). There is a list of the character set attainable this way somewhere in the Windows menu (probably accessories/system tools) unless you didn't install the character set with Windows. If you have your Windows 9X cd you can add it by going into the control panel add/remove programs section and selecting the "windows setup" tab at the top of the control window. In the list of options scroll to "system tools" and click the icon thing. The character set is the first item in the system tools list...check the box and then okay it. Windows will ask you to insert the cd and then load the character set for you. With Windows M.E. (maybe with 98 too) you get a character map that will allow you to click on the character you want, click copy, and then use "paste" to stick it in a document. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 14:48:50 EDT From: KrodKnid@aol.com Subject: Re: MOD are you out there...

BINGO! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 11:56:25 -0700 From: "Crazy Little" Subject: Re: NPR: Jury Duty Question... Look, several people have made fine comments about agnosticism, but all of these arguments are making the same fallacy in their presumtions about agnositcism. It's not some church, or alternative church, or anti-church, cult, happy-gathering-around-the-campfire or dirty secret. It is not a religion, nor a set of beliefs either. It is the opposite of those things. It's the questioning of faith and religion. Perhaps for some people it's just a way to avoid "following the herd". (Isn't the religious masses biblically referred to as "My flock"? that's pretty grim...) If you've ever questioned your church or pastor, chances are that a part of you is agnostic as well. Telling us "heathens" that we're going to hell tends to be ineffective as well, because... well shit goddamnit, we don't believe in hell. Religious persecution and self-loathing because of unavoidable sins tend to be a more "religious" experience. The bottom line is that it's personal and different to each person, and making generalizations about what it is will always be wrong. Think of it as the "other" category - it could be none of the above or something in between. If you'd like to know what somebody believes, or perhaps a sampling, then ask people, but please don't make off-the-cuff remarks about ideas that can't be handled in a general sense. www.losingmyreligion.com - A pair of ex-christians who tell their story about losing the Orthodox Christian faith (and how the grass is greener, outside of church, when you're standing on it, instead of listening to somebody preach about the evils of stepping on the lawn.) - -CL - ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Monday, April 23, 2001 6:57 PM Subject: Re: NPR: Jury Duty Question... > > Argh, ok...

It;s just my belief. If someone here is a fundamentalist, believe me, they would not be around here very long. Also, as far as taking the bible as literal truth, I find it interesting how people say that not only must you take the bible as absolute truth, but you must use the King James Bible as the guide. I'm trying to figure out how someone can hinge their entire belief system upon the subtlest single word of a book that has been translated (and in some cases, mistranslated) from several different languages. While I don't mind them believing as they do, I do mind when they decide their beliefs justify them enforcing their will upon others and sometimes even killing people. Do you really think that a jewish carpenter who preached about peace would approve of Eric Rudolph blowing up family planning clinics in his name? A good piece to read if you have the time is "Age of Reason" by Thomas Paine, it gives a good view of the church and also outlines Diesm, the belief that God created the universe and then just left it to run by natural law. A philosopher once said that "God must either be a bumbler or a sadist." He said this because if God was all powerful, he could stop the evils and suffering of the world, unless he enjoyed them. Either sadistic, or not as powerful as people think. As I said a few months ago in a different post... Who knows, in a few thousand years, someone may find a copy of house of leaves, and think that it is a holy text. They will be bowing down before the almighty equal sign, and people will believe that hell is somewhere within Virginia on Ash Tree Lane.

Scared the living shit out of me. But I think I could add one serious point of clarification here. Don't assume that EVERYONE in the music biz is only in it for the money, only understand it as a numbers game where one artist is no different than any other, except for the money they bring in, and cares about nothing but numbers in the end of the day. These individuals are the higher-ups, the uber execs, the ones that could have just come from running a multi-million dollar role at, say, a freakin' appliance corporation and see no blarring reasons why they have no place running a record label. Besides, "units" and "units". Numbers are numbers.... no big diff. Now, the AOL Time Warner merger is a different story in many respects. This is an entertainment conglomerate where skills and abilities and knowledge are present and though the owners and execs are (almost) only concerned with numbers, there are many other roles in a record label that are filled by many passionate people who, though they take their jobs seriously from a business standpoint, also look and fight for some sort of personal connection with the projects and/or artists they must oversee. From publicity/media to marketing to promotions and even sales, these people spend as much time fighting for funds to further support artists being shafted by the label, (gee..... I wonder who has had this problem,) as they spend carrying out their day-to-day duties. Basically, in many situations, such efforts ARE their jobs. If you (and many others) have expressed a strong demand for more support for an artist from their label, don't attack these people. Chances very well may be that they are already aware of the demand and are busting their asses to bring this about, but their hands are tied. If the label won't budget the support, they (and the artists) are screwed. Take tour support for example. When labels refuse to give ample (or not even ANY) tour support, many acts consider the massive risk of handling it themselves and just pray that ticket sales and the exposure will keep them in the black, but for so many artists, there's just no way to take such a risk even if they truly, truly wanted to. But media reps and such often fight tooth and nail to get the label to budge, if they see an extreme public demand, even if sales are low. Most of us know how this went with Poe, but for our new APs, I will post another message explaining the whole fiasco. (If someone would like to do this before me, feel free. I'm just volunteering because I have a lot of the mail from this discussed saved and would have an easy time reprinting it.)

Are you assuming that just because I go to a Catholic school means I AM a Catholic? Were you missing my point? I am clearly aware that agnosticism doesn't involve a church or gathering of people, that's why I tried to state in the first place. Calm down and don't make all of those assumptions, I never said what religion I was in the first place and clearly, think that ALL religion period is just a big clump of mythology. It is known that humans must believe in an afterlife to avoid death, and that humans tend to believe in a higher power. Don't assume what I am, and don't assume my opinion, because that just makes you come off as the hypocritical one. I don't know what might have possessed you to attack me, because I wasn't attacking agnosticism, and clearly don't mind it. ~*~ Adventure, excitement, the Jedi craves not these things~ Silent Bob ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2001 18:11:43 EDT From: K3285@aol.com Subject: Re: KPR: tours and such In a message dated 4/23/01 9:39:46 PM Pacific Daylight Time, midget_man@hotmail.com writes: << Frogpond >> Frogpond rock!!

Actually the comment wasn't directed at you, it was really a response to all of the misnomers about agnosticism. Several of the other comments (concering Gnostics, et al) "It's when you don't believe or disbelieve that there is a God, but you choose to remain in the middle until one or the other is proven. Kind of like a wimpy Atheist" - this one's pretty much the big offender. The point I'm making is this: statements like "This is what agnosticism is" will always be wrong, so please don't make them.
