Phrack Issue 70

I would say 2600 is more counter-culture / anti-authoritarian / political, and Phrack is more just about the technical stuff. To give a recent example, 2600 gave their support for BLM:

Which lost them a bit of support (although perhaps gained some as well?).

2600 is also pretty good at never missing an issue (quarterly), and also runs actual prints.

That said, Phrack is where I learned things like this (not that I have ever or will use the knowledge):

http://phrack.org/issues/1/7.html

So it has it's counter culture roots.

Edit: Which I actually just noticed is from 2600 so I guess the point stands?

Ohhh, that's where this came from!

I directed a short film in the late 90s and we used this as an 'event' at a party (minus the floating part). We removed the glass from a light bulb to act as a remote fuse. Acetylene was perfect, as it gives this wonderful 'crack,' much better than the LPG we first tried. It was Tim's idea.

Please do not try this!
