P/H/A NEWS



	




				950 News -->					Just as in the piracy world,	paranioa has spread rapidly throughout the P/H/A.	Rumors circulating that ALL 950's may soon go ANI	haven't done much to help the situation, nor has the	publicity surrounding Operation Sundevil helped		anything either.  In addition, more frequent busts		have been occurring, especially concerning Execuline	(0511), and ITT (0488), with various reports of code	hackers being billed for hack attempts and what not.	One specific code hacker was busted by Execuline		after hacking Execuline codes for one hour two days	in a row, and was fined $400.  In addition, Execuline	has added a very high pitched tone to invalid codes,	and it seems that both 0488's and 0511's seem to be	dying much faster than they previously had been.		0266's are very hard to come across nowadays, as		expected with their recent jump in ANI detection and	the abundance of numerous trap codes designed to	catch code hackers. 

					Mac P/H/A Scene -->					The Mac P/H/A is	growing more pathetic by the hour.  As  compared to	IBM, Apple, and even C-64 boards, Mac boards lag	far, far behind in basic quality and quantity of		material, with a few exceptions.  One of the reasons	for this is the lack of decent code hackers available	for the Mac.  I personally know of only three, and		they are not up to the quality of Code Theif, Fuckin'	Hacker, etc..etc..  None allow multiple extenders,		multiple targets, or even temptlates!  Cheese is the	only reliable one that even works.   

					Rad Hacker just plain sucks and has		absolutely no redeeming quality whatsoever, and the	pathetic SpeedHacker (or Phonehack) crashes and		probably isn't worth it anyways.  Also, the percentage	of Mac hackers is very low as compared to IBM		boards, and they also seem to be mucxh less		knowledgable. 

					It's up to us to upgrade the quality of the	Mac P/H/A scene.
