My Uncle Steve shared this with me. I thought it was pretty amusing.

That was a fun read! thanks for the link!
thanks dave!
here’s a great book (that’s already published) about phreak pranks and turf wars: http://www.amazon.com/Masters-Deception-Gang-Ruled-Cyberspace/dp/0060926945/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361150041&sr=8-1&keywords=masters+of+deception+the+gang+that+ruled+cyberspace
and here’s an interesting HOPE talk about pranks that phreaks pull, and the conf scene:

The Hive13 library has a copy of Masters of Deception. I’m currently borrowing it but I might not get through it anytime soon, so if anyone wants to borrow it I’ll bring it back for you.
I would also recommend The Hacker Crackdown by Bruce Sterling. I don’t think the Hive has a copy of that one, but you can find it freely online: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/101
