- DefCon. I love DefCon. Why do I love DefCon? Several reasons. I get to
- see many people I do not normally get to hang out with. And it's in Las Vegas.
- Ok, I guess that's two reasons. I love DefCon for two reasons.
-
- Las Vegas is a blast. No two ways about it. Free drinks _while_ you get
- FREE money. What more can anymore ask for?!@ Sex? Gluttony? Corruption?
- Greed? Thin facades? Tackiness? Friends, it's _all_ there.
-
- Vegas is certainly not for everyone. It's not for the timid, the shy or
- the compulsive. Vegas can and will eat you alive, if you are not careful.
- Even the most vigilant often find themselves victimized by Sin City... As I
- write this paragraph, my memory draws me back... back to that first week in
- July 1997, towards the end of DefCon V, when a good friend and seasoned Vegas
- adventurer came knocking on my door at half past 5am...
-
- He was armed with a coke in one hand, a whiskey in the other. The fact
- that he was noticely unencumbered by money caught my eye. The Casino Demons
- had relieved him of that. He was in need of a safe place to camp for a few
- hours... I happily obliged. I attempted to make his stay with us as
- comfortable as possible... However, my friend refused all attempts at
- hospitality. He was still deep in the throes of what professional Vegas
- travelers call 'The Zone'. He was in a dull haze, a casino-atmosphere-induced
- catatonic state, in which external stimuli are, for the most part, ignored.
- There was little I could do for him, so I bedded down... And there he sat,
- engulfed in darkness, deep within his own world... Eventually, exhaustion
- overcame him, and he drifted into an uncomfortable sleep... Early in the
- morning, he arose, determined to retake his reappropriated wealth.
-
- It took me a few tries of getting raped by that town before I realized how
- it works, and, more importantly, how to work it.
-
- It can be summed up in one word. An abbreviation even. COMPS. Vegas is
- all about being compensated for. Compensation for being in out in the fucking
- desert. Compensation for staying in some shitty hotel. Compensation for
- winning some of their money. Compensation for losing ALL of your money.
- Learning how to have a good time in Vegas means learning how to get comped.
- In order to be comped, you must either a) be some one important, b) know
- someone important, or the most common occurrence, c) comp other people.
-
- This past DefCon, I had my room upgraded from a single-bed room on the
- first floor, to a double-bed on the second, and then from that to a $400/nite
- suite somewhere up in the 20's (you know, the kind with the double doors).
- It's all about knowing how to work the system. Knowing how to get comped.
- Complaining about something is often a good way to get something for free in
- Vegas. So is being put out in some fashion or another. Go ahead and watch
- Casino and Swingers a few dozen times and you will get the idea...
-
-
- A word about this issue. In my opinion, and the opinion of many people
- way cooler then me, this is the Best Phrack Issue Ever (TM). Ok. Now. In
- Issue 48, I know I promised timely dissemination. However, I am an older /
- wiser Phrack editor now, and, what it comes down to, is that timeliness is not
- always possible. Not when there is a minimum level of excellence that must be
- preserved. This issue is a perfect example of that phenomena. We have
- amassed some seriously cool shit this time around. Technical excellence
- abounds here, and if we are a few weeks late, I think it should be well worth
- the wait. We've got several ground breaking articles, a great deal of source,
- fully nude photos of Milla Jovovich (not available in ASCII-Phrack) and a new
- format. Commentary, as always, is appreciated.
-
- What makes this (or any) issue so damned good? Simple. The incredible
- array of talented individuals that graciously lend their time to writing
- articles for us. I just want to give a word of thanks to you guys: past,
- present and future. Without you, Phrack would slip quietly into the night...
- This issue, a special werdup to halflife for the technically superior work
- he contributed for P51, thrice over.
-
- Phrack 51 comes atcha power-packed with new streamlined formatting! We
- cut out colons, added a surplus of dashes and brackets, and b00m! Less fluff,
- more EDGE. Areodynamicphrack. Europhrack. _Slickphrack_.
-
- Bad to the bone and shot to the heart when you think about Phrack, you touch
- yourself.
-
- Enjoy the magazine. It is for and by the hacking community. Period.
-
- PS
-
- The aforementioned gamblaholic ended up being comped three $20 meals, and a
- show (Lance Burton at the Monte Carlo). Man, that lucky son-of-a-bitch got to
- see Lance at the Carlo...
