They are not synonymous, but hacking does encompass cracking. Hacking is basically when you use any way possible to gain some kind of control over a protected system. Methods to gain such control could include methods such as cracking, phishing, backdooring, cloning, man-in-the-middle attacks, malicious scripting, shellcoding, or even social networking. Hacking is just a cover-all term used to describe the action of getting into a supposedly secure system. -

I've got stories from before 2006. Like, in 2005, under the handle, SpectraL, I went up against the dreaded acidmelt in a direct confrontation, whereupon I reduced him to a quivering mass of hysterical foolishness and he not only deleted my account, but also started deleting a bunch of other users' accounts. By the way, acidmelt was an extremely shitty and tyrannical administrator, prone to fits of anger and rage and revenge. But I came right back under the -SpectraL moniker and challenged him again, and that time I won, with support from half the staff. Acidmelt was forced into a reluctant retreat, with his tail tucked between his legs. True story, before 2006. -

Originally posted by cupocheer As far as I can tell – NO – you aren't, if ASC was @ II at the time of one of the first protos. (But my concern is with the name of the ?machine company? It was more than just the software.)
When personal computers first came out, there was a slew of different companies putting out a slew of different machines and operating systems. The cost was unbelievable, too. $4,999.00 was the standard price for a hardrive, for example. -

Originally posted by cupocheer And I am much appreciative that you took the time out of your busy schedule to assist me. Thank you.
I didn't realize you still needed it, because you hadn't used the account for so long and I figured you had abandoned it. I hacked pretty well all the apparently-abandoned accounts from 2000-2005 and handed them out to people who couldn't post because Jeff had disabled registration and disappeared for over a year, and also to give to users the Fun Bunch has banned unjustifiably. Then they tried to find justification to ban me for giving out the accounts, but I had several decent mods like jackketch step in to support me. -

Originally posted by cupocheer No, I haven't. I have been reading his extensive post history, off and on. In the midst of that I have been acclimating myself to the who's who of TOTSE. Quite a history there.
If he knows me he'll find me.♡
I cracked your account on Totse, because you let the e-mail address you used to register your account expire. I re-created the e-mail account and used the Totse password reset tool to reset your password. -

2018-08-16 at 3:17 AM UTC in Why does everyone beat their women?In the Garden of Eden, Satan considered tempting Adam, but then rejected the idea, because he knew Adam wouldn't cave in to temptation. So he decided to tempt Eve instead. He had observed both Adam and Eve's words and actions carefully for quite some time before this point. As predicted, Eve believed Satan when he lied and said that if she ate of the forbidden fruit she would be like God, knowing good and bad. Satan knew her nature was to lust for more power, and he was correct in his assumption.

I don't know it all, never claimed to. I do happen to know what "386" and "Zyolog" mean in this context, whereas to you they're just fancy sounding old words you vaguely understand to relate to retro computing. See that's the problem spectral, your MO is to pull up some dumb shit from google that sounds kinda plausible that no one is going to take the time to verify and I'm sure you've had a lot of success doing that, but when you run into someone who happens to have anything more than a surface understanding of the domain you claim to be a master of your gimmick stops working. I guess this doesn't happen to you very often because your only coping strategy seems to be to double down on your lie, but don't worry my dude, I'm here to help you break your bullshitting habit.
One of the first prototypes of Totse ran on the TI-99/4A using Zyolog. The first Totse network launched on a 386x computer using DOS in ASCII. Am I lying? -

Well clearly you do since not only were you caught in a lie, but the manner in which you were caught in a lie reveals you don't know was the things you were talking about mean.
Also you don't have to edit out the PGP signature blocks, the site will autoformat them even if they appear in a quote.
Just because you don't fully understand a thing does not directly translate to the thing being a lie. You don't know it all, kid. -

You said it "started off" on the 386, no one would move from that to a shitty 16bit calculator tier CPU so you can't save your lie that way.
I'm not even sure why I bother posting about this. I 100% know you're lying, it's not like I'm asking for you to dig yourself deeper by telling more lies. I'm not arguing with you spectral, you already lost when you contradicted your own story. I'm just letting you know how you fucked up so you can try to do a little research and come up with a better lie the next time you try.
So, you're saying you're only trying to help me lie better? I don't need any help with that, thank you very much.
And I was talking about BEFORE the server on the 386, silly. -
2018-08-16 at 1:12 AM UTC in Lanny seems to get his panties in a bunch...It's because, at heart, Lanny really is a champion for the "underdog". He just doesn't want anyone to know. Doesn't matter if he's rooting for the wrong underdog either, just as long as he's doing some rooting and feels personally good about it. It's like the serial killer who always dutifully sends a modest contribution to the Shepherds of Good Hope every year.

2018-08-16 at 1:07 AM UTC in Why does everyone beat their women?Back in the '60's and before, it was lawful to beat your wife. Your wife wasn't considered a person, really, more like the man's personal property. If the cops came on a domestic call, they would just take a look at the bloodied face of the woman, ask the husband if she had gotten out of line, he would say yes, and the police would go on their way without incident. Then the wife knew for a certainty who had control.

Kind of finicky. It burns like tar, but more forgiving and easier to make lines with.
Get some of these. They're cheap (less than $10) and portable, and they last quite a while. You can get mini/slim ones that fit right into your jacket, too. Great for hotknives as well.

Originally posted by Lanny Apparently I can also "beat" you by pointing out that you either lied about what kind of software was being used on totse or what kind of hardware it ran on. Probably about both.
There were other incantations and flavors of Totse before the version which appeared on NirvanaNet, kid. You're just too young to be hip on the full story. I am. -

No, Lanny just wanted to show me how he could give himself a bunch of "l334" usertitles and be the cool kid on the block and stick me with this. I guess I'm supposed to learn some kind of lesson or something. Fat chance. -
2018-08-15 at 3:41 PM UTC in Golden Poison Dart Frog - The Most Poisonous Animal on EarthBatrachotoxin (BTX) is an extremely potent cardiotoxic and neurotoxic steroidal alkaloid found in certain species of frogs (poison dart frog), melyrid beetles, and birds (the pitohui, blue-capped ifrit, and little shrikethrush). Batrachotoxin was derived from the Greek word βάτραχος bátrachos "frog".[2] Structurally-related chemical compounds are often referred to collectively as batrachotoxins.
The "poison dart" (or "poison arrow") frog does not produce batrachotoxin itself. It is believed that the frogs get the poison from eating beetles or other insects in their native habitat. Frogs raised in captivity do not produce batrachotoxin, and thus may be handled without risk. However, this limits the amount of batrachotoxin available for research as 10,000 frogs yielded only 180 mg of batrachotoxin.[9] As these frogs are endangered, their harvest is unethical. Biosynthetic studies are also challenged by the slow rate of synthesis of batrachotoxin.[3]
The native habitat of poison dart frogs is the warm regions of Central America and South America, in which the humidity is around 80 percent.
Of the three so-called "poison dart" frogs which contain batrachotoxin—golden poison frog, Kokoe poison frog, and neari—the most toxic is the most recently discovered golden poison frog, which generally contains 27 times more batrachotoxin than its close relatives and is 20-fold more toxic.
Batrachotoxin (BTX) irreversibly binds to the Na+ channels which causes a conformational change in the channels that forces the sodium channels to remain open. Batrachotoxin not only keeps voltage-gated sodium channels open, but it also reduces the single-channel conductance. In other words, the toxin binds to the sodium channel and keeps the membrane permeable to sodium ions in an all or none manner.[8] This has a direct effect on the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Batrachotoxin in the PNS produces increased permeability (selective and irreversible) of the resting cell membrane to sodium ions, without changing potassium or calcium concentration. This influx of sodium depolarizes the formerly polarized cell membrane. Batrachotoxin also alters the ion selectivity of the ion channel by increasing the permeability of the channel toward larger cations. Voltage-sensitive sodium channels become persistently active at the resting membrane potential. Batrachotoxin kills by permanently blocking nerve signal transmission to the muscles. Batrachotoxin binds to and irreversibly opens the sodium channels of nerve cells and prevent them from closing. The neuron can no longer send signals and this results in paralysis.
Currently, no effective antidote exists for the treatment of batrachotoxin poisoning.
