| 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... | |
