Dear Lurkers,
Never forget that it was "Emmanuel Goldstein" editor of 2600 that took the
constitutionality of publishing the DeCSS code to the U.S. Supreme Court.
May the great spirit bless and keep Mr. Eric Corley, as we mere mortals
owe him a debt. In the end, despite the Bush era, justice will out...

Better yet, buy the copy and read it whenever you like.
2600 is pretty much supported by subscriptions and t-shirt sales, they
have no advertisers in the mag, so if you like what you read, buy a
copy.
While I get the feeling that a lot of the old-timers ( :] ) think that
2600 is for hacker-punks or communists or whatever, the truth is that
2600 is a quality publication with quality articles and it would be a
real shame to see it dry up....
Agreed on all counts (sub since 2001 ish)
Plus 2600 comes wrapped in plain brown paper... what the postman must
think of me! God forbid my neighbors think I'm a hacker (never mind my
"I'm a Hacker" T-shirt from Covalent c. 2000)... I'd MUCH rather they
think I subscribe to porn rags :)

For those of you who consider yourself above 2600 magazine and eschew
it because of either thinking it is only for script kiddies or radical
leftists or communists....
There is an article in the most reason 2600 by Bre Pettis. Bre is one
of the U.S. founders of Hackerspaces ... he and another guy were
pretty much the first two people to setup Hackerspaces in the U.S. ...
and they did it simultaneously after coming back from a Chaos Computer
Club meeting in Germany.
Anyway... he was tapped to write the "Hacker Perspective" column in
this issue and he focuses on the history and current state of rapid
prototyping, along with lots of suggestions for ways to do it
yourself... and of course he mentions Hackerspaces.
So thumb through a copy the next time you are in Borders or B&N.
