drchips was a gentleman that has forgotten more about computers than any of us will ever hope to learn. He worked in computer security on a governmental level.

The most memorable thread with him was when punked a script kiddie hardcore. The idiot kid threatened to hack drchips' computer so drchips gave the kid his ip and told him to take his best shot. Not long after that drchips had the kids full name, address, isp etc etc. It was priceless.


irelevant,

Drop the crap right now or I'll nip you in the bud.

A Digital Phenomenon: The "NEW AFTERDAWNERS"

The Genesis of the "New Afterdawner" Movement is shrouded in mystery, though its influences and parentage is easily understood.

The "New AfterDawners" are a sub-sect of the Afterdawn community, who are highly respected within the Religious Movement known as "Rippers".

As far as our "reporter" has been able to ascertain, the "New AfterDawners" are led by "The Doc", a shadowy figure about whom little is known.

He first came to light within the Afterdawn movement as a NEWBIE (a novice), and within a few short weeks was known as a MEMBER (akin to a priest), this has been a truly meteoric rise, bypassing the JUNIOR MEMBER level - it has been noted by some adherents of the faith that he may be destined for SENIOR MEMBER (a cross between an Elder and a Priest of the Faith) soon, despite his proselytising and lack of tolerance with "1337 DooDZ".

It is rumoured that the true beginnings of the "New AfterDawners" came about after a public clash as illustrated here;

The following is an excerpt from the "Book of the New AfterDawners", ISBN 666-DVD-RIP:

Quote:"The Doc", resplendant in his Tin-Foil Helmet, armed with a Pentium-3 and the Knowledge of his Faith and astride a mighty defence known as "Firewall" did do battle with and smite the "Beasty" on the battlefield known as "Forum"

Your reporter was able to track down and talk with some of the adherents of the faith that witnessed the confrontation.

All of these people are known by their monikers (it is an article of the faith that adherents use "nicknames" when communing with their bretheren) and many have expressed a new level of respect for "The Doc" after witnessing the Taming of the Beast, though there have been some rumblings and expressions of disquiet over the display of such power in a Public Forum.

Careful investigation by our "reporter" indicates the internal organisation of the "New AfterDawners" to be based closely on the precepts as used by the original Afterdawn, with tolerance of differing methodologies being the norm.

Within the structure there can be found the following groups:

The "Purists", those who extoll the teaching of "DVD Decrypter", "DVD2One", "IFOEdit", "RecordNow" and other powerful and arcane techniques - not all are zealots, the belief in "Nero" is strong among the "Purists" and is tolerated.

The "One-Click Transcoders" who chant the mantras according to "DVD Shrink" and "DVD X Copy", some of whom claim miraculous results with their incantations.

The rest seem to be "Undecided" as to the best path to take, though all strongly believe that the "New AfterDawners" are their route to Salvation.

It must be said though, there is little rivalry between the groups, and all try to aid the "Undecided" in any way they can, something that our world should take heed of....


One "Nephilim" inadvertantly published the secret location of "The Doc" and his closest followers along with their "preparations" for the care and protection of the "Faithful"

Quote:PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

"The Reverend drchips is holed up with several hundred followers in a remote farmhouse in Finland. They are all professing servitude to an as yet unidentified deity called "dRD". They have been stockpiling weapons, ammunition, blank DVDs, Pop Tarts and, more ominously, large quantities of grape Kool-Aid and rat poison. Officials have warned against any contact with the cultists and ask that nobody sell them any ammunition or Pop Tarts.

The Reverend is demanding a soverign nation to be called "New Afterdawn" and exemptions from any and all established copyright laws

Finnish officials have refused to comment"

- the revealed location and other so-called facts have yet to be confirmed but "The Authorities" seem a little uneasy, and the "Great Leader" of the original Afterdawn, one known as "dRD", has yet to comment.

Is this the Dawning (sic) of a great new movement in our time, or the beginning of another "WACO"?

Only time will tell, and your "reporter" is looking forward to seeing how it all pans out.
