Talk It Over With Captain Crunch

Posted by Roblimo on from the whistle-a-happy-tune dept.

John T. Draper is most famous as "Captain Crunch," the legendary phone phreak who taught others how to make illicit use of Ma Bell's facilities to call almost anywhere, almost any time, for free. But (as a glance at his personal page will show you), that is just about the least of Draper's accomplishments. Not only that, he's still going strong. This is your chance to talk directly to a man without whom the modern-day personal computer -- and modern hacking and many other things we take for granted -- might not exist at all, and certainly would not exist in their current forms. One question per post please, and try to avoid asking questions that could be answered with a little online research. We'll send 10 or 12 of the highest-moderated questions to Draper tomorrow, and run his answers as soon as he has time to reply.

    What the fuck is with smokers these days? I smoke on and off, but I have enough fucking common sense to figure out that carrying around flaming shit in my mouth is a little irregular. Are you so pathetic that you collapse into a jibbering spooge-heap the moment you start getting oxygen to your brain, or are you just a self-absorbed asshole? Take some responsability for your fucking actions, for fuck's sake.
