Wrong Group. Big mistake. >I'm writing an article about the history of "hacking". But my encyclopedia >only shows to me a short defintion. Yea, yea... those encyclopedias have so little information these days. Things change fast, and the books follow behind. Actually, the *true* history of hacking goes like this - I will not go to the details, I'm tired: Nudge. Shove. Smash. (At this point, the mankind invented the weapons.) Slice. Hack. >So I want to ask you: >Where can I get more informations about that ? Ah shure, rightavron here. The Hacker Jargon File is a pretty compherensive source of infomation. Then there is alt.folklore.computers FAQ, a big one, I guess... Then there are various other smaller files, including, but not limited to, the Nethack History file. (If you already have the game, just go to the help - it's there.) >Please send me some informations to: >A************@t-online.de ...That will be several megabytes, but perharps I will send it if I remember... >It's really important for me !
