- Section D: 2600
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- 01. What is alt.2600?
-
- Alt.2600 is a Usenet newsgroup for discussion of material relating to
- 2600 Magazine, the hacker quarterly. It is NOT for the Atari 2600
- game machine. Len@netsys.com created the group on Emmanuel
- Goldstein's recommendation. Emmanuel is the editor/publisher of 2600
- Magazine. Following the barrage of postings about the Atari machine to
- alt.2600, an alt.atari.2600 was created to divert all of the atari
- traffic from alt.2600. Atari 2600 people are advised to hie over to
- rec.games.video.classic.
-
-
- 02. What does "2600" mean?
-
- 2600Hz was a tone that was used by early phone phreaks (or
- phreakers) in the 80's, and some currently. If the tone was sent down the
- line at the proper time, one could get away with all sorts of fun stuff.
-
- A note from Emmanuel Goldstein:
-
- "The Atari 2600 has NOTHING to do with blue boxes or telephones
- or the 2600 hertz tone. The 2600 hertz tone was simply the first
- step towards exploring the network. If you were successful at
- getting a toll call to drop, then billing would stop at that
- point but there would be billing for the number already dialed
- up until the point of seizure. 800 numbers and long distance
- information were both free in the past and records of who called
- what were either non-existent or very obscure with regards to
- these numbers. This, naturally, made them more popular than
- numbers that showed up on a bill, even if it was only for
- a minute. Today, many 800 numbers go overseas, which provides
- a quick and free way into another country's phone system
- which may be more open for exploration."
-
-
- 03. Are there on-line versions of 2600 available?
-
- No.
-
-
- 04. I can't find 2600 at any bookstores. What can I do?
-
- Subscribe. Or, let 2600 know via the subscription address that you
- think 2600 should be in the bookstore. Be sure to include the
- bookstores name and address.
-
-
- 05. Why does 2600 cost more to subscribe to than to buy at a newsstand?
-
- A note from Emmanuel Goldstein:
-
- We've been selling 2600 at the same newsstand price ($4) since 1988
- and we hope to keep it at that price for as long as we can get away
- with it. At the same time, $21 is about the right price to cover
- subscriber costs, including postage and record keeping, etc. People
- who subscribe don't have to worry about finding an issue someplace,
- they tend to get issues several weeks before the newsstands get
- them, and they can take out free ads in the 2600 Marketplace.
-
- This is not uncommon in the publishing industry. The NY Times, for
- example, costs $156.50 at the newsstands, and $234.75 delivered to your
- door.

- 02. How do I determine if I have a valid credit card number?
-
- Credit cards use the Luhn Check Digit Algorithm. The main purpose of
- this algorithm is to catch data entry errors, but it does double duty
- here as a weak security tool.
-
- For a card with an even number of digits, double every odd numbered
- digit and subtract 9 if the product is greater than 9. Add up all the
- even digits as well as the doubled-odd digits, and the result must be
- a multiple of 10 or it's not a valid card. If the card has an odd
- number of digits, perform the same addition doubling the even numbered
- digits instead.

- 04. What are the ethics of hacking?
-
- The FAQ answer is excerpted from: Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution
- by Steven Levy
-
- Access to computers -- and anything which might teach you something
- about the way the world works -- should be unlimited and total.
- Always yield to the Hands-On imperative.
-
- All information should be free.
-
- Mistrust Authority. Promote Decentralization.
-
- Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as
- degrees, age, race, or position.
-
- You can create art and beauty on a computer.
-
- Computers can change your life for the better.
