On a more positive note, I just found out about 2600.

Awesome! I do the layout "design" of the magazine and have been for about seven years. Doing something such as that and being able to find it at a Barnes and Noble is very rewarding in a different but similar was as creating a website and seeing people use it...

  I've been reading 2600 since I was in middle school. I always felt so subversive going to Barnes and Noble, finding it on the rack, and reading the mag cover to cover on the bench. Occasionally, I would ditch my mom and buy a copy without her seeing. You guys are fighting the good fight. Keep it up. <3 forever.

    Thanks Zach. Same thing here. If parents would stop and think about (at least my definition of) what a "hacker" is, a maker/creator/doer/free-thinker, I think they would in fact encourage reading the magazine. PS - Be sure to try to make it out to HOPE (Hackers on Planet Earth): http://hope.net/ http://hope.net/

      Turns out they are very supportive. It was mostly just 13 year old me expecting the worst. :p

      The only thing I don't like about HOPE is that the videos are so expensive to buy, but I understand HOPE is very expensive to run.

        They often end up on torrent sites and the audio often uploaded for free. If you have any suggestions, we're always open to doing things in new and better ways. @Skram

        Sorry for the disjointed thoughts, it's late here. My email is in my profile if you want to discuss this further. 1. Subscriptions to past and future videos. 2. Pay what you want packs of DRM free digital magazines and videos (see Humble Bundle, maybe you can do the HOPE Bundle?) 3. Timed release of very old videos (done) 3. Ways for non-live listeners to contribute, especially from overseas. 4. Future: subscription to live streaming/delayed streaming for the conference itself + ability to participate virtually in the conference

        I think you will find all of them up on youtube.

      er 2600 is far more on the phreak side than the maker fare types - I used to work for a company where a lot of our tech guys where members of the UK arm.
