| 15617 | Why are not fuses good lightning arresters? |
| 15617 | Why is it not necessary to install sneak- current arresters in central- battery subscribers''stations? |
| 15617 | Why is paper used as an insulator of telephone cables? |
| 15617 | Why must a protector for telephone apparatus work more quickly for a large current than for a small one? |
| 15617 | lock- out system? |
| 101 | And how can I reach you? |
| 101 | Are they gon na feed us? |
| 101 | Are you a police officer, sir? |
| 101 | Are you familiar with Bellcore Technical Reference Document TR- TSY-000350? |
| 101 | Big guy, heavyset? |
| 101 | But is n''t this what you said was basically what appeared in Phrack? |
| 101 | But you are a` Phoenix Resident?'' |
| 101 | Did you hear what Godwin said about INSTRUMENTALITY OF A CRIME? |
| 101 | Excuse me? |
| 101 | How about if you take copies of the data? |
| 101 | Oh, did you know so- and- so? |
| 101 | Really? 101 Really? |
| 101 | Somebody broke in to your computer, huh? |
| 101 | Sort of like the Bell System buying Western Union? |
| 101 | Taiwan and Ireland? |
| 101 | What is your name, sir? |
| 101 | What kind do you WISH you had? |
| 101 | What kind of computer do you have? |
| 101 | Why did you say I was` quaint?'' |
| 101 | Yeah? |
| 101 | Yes? |
| 101 | You guys crash here a lot? |
| 101 | You know who works in that building over there? |
| 101 | You''re going to put a TEENAGER in charge of a federal security BBS? |
| 101 | .was THAT the problem? |
| 101 | Access- code theft? |
| 101 | And if it''s money, then why are n''t they free to compete for it? |
| 101 | And just how widespread was this sort of thing? |
| 101 | And was it possible? |
| 101 | And what about a certain stolen E911 Document, that posed a direct threat to the police emergency lines? |
| 101 | Are TAIWAN and IRELAND really in the forefront of this stuff? |
| 101 | Breaking into ATM bank machines? |
| 101 | But can they do it, in the real world? |
| 101 | By what right?" |
| 101 | Computer intrusions? |
| 101 | Consider this: if"hacking"is supposed to be so serious and real- life and dangerous, then how come NINE- YEAR- OLD KIDS have computers and modems? |
| 101 | Could he take the charts out in the street and show them to anybody,"without violating some proprietary notion that BellSouth has?" |
| 101 | Did n''t he have to go to the bathroom? |
| 101 | Did n''t he know Terminus? |
| 101 | Did you ever hack into a system? |
| 101 | Did"Sundevil"send''em reeling back in confusion? |
| 101 | Do n''t they already have their own generators in this eight- story monster? |
| 101 | Do we add ID? |
| 101 | Do we add new protocol? |
| 101 | EVEN THE 911 SERVICE? |
| 101 | Exactly what bits of knowledge in the Document were, in fact, unknown to the public? |
| 101 | Fear? |
| 101 | For example, what happened when the subscriber dialed 911? |
| 101 | Gas utilities? |
| 101 | Had n''t Neidorf removed much of this? |
| 101 | He had lost some computers in an ongoing investigation-- so what? |
| 101 | How come nobody can come up with four lousy grand so this woman can do her job? |
| 101 | How dare this near- criminal dictate what is or is n''t"acceptable"behavior from AT&T? |
| 101 | How do you keep people disposable, yet assure their awestruck respect for your property? |
| 101 | How had"misguided teenagers"managed to alarm the United States Secret Service? |
| 101 | How much does he actually have, then? |
| 101 | How painful, to be restricted to boards in one''s own AREA CODE-- what the heck is an"area code"anyway, and what makes it so special? |
| 101 | How will they be regarded, by the mouse- whizzing masters of cyberspace? |
| 101 | How will those currently enjoying America''s digital bounty regard, and treat, all this teeming refuse yearning to breathe free? |
| 101 | How''d he get in? |
| 101 | If a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, how much is the noise worth? |
| 101 | If it''s"service,"why are n''t they treated like a public service? |
| 101 | If there were hackers into BellSouth switching- stations, then how come nothing had happened? |
| 101 | Indifference? |
| 101 | Is it-- credit card fraud? |
| 101 | Is posting digital booty of this sort supposed to be protected by the First Amendment? |
| 101 | Kids: this one is all yours, all right? |
| 101 | Locations of E911 computers? |
| 101 | My immediate reaction is a strong rush of indignant pity: WHY DOESN''T SOMEBODY BUY THIS WOMAN HER AMIGA?! |
| 101 | Need advice? |
| 101 | Need training? |
| 101 | Neighborhood watch? |
| 101 | OF COURSE they spy on Madonna''s phone calls-- I mean, WOULDN''T YOU? |
| 101 | Ongoing maintenance subcommittees? |
| 101 | Or are they only dreaming? |
| 101 | Or were they best defined as TRESPASSERS, a very common teenage misdemeanor? |
| 101 | Phone numbers for telco personnel? |
| 101 | Phone- phreaking? |
| 101 | Police watch television, listen to radio, read newspapers and magazines; why should the new medium of boards be different? |
| 101 | Pornographic bulletin boards? |
| 101 | Records tampering? |
| 101 | Right? |
| 101 | Satellite TV piracy? |
| 101 | Should they be sternly treated as potential AGENTS OF ESPIONAGE, or perhaps as INDUSTRIAL SPIES? |
| 101 | So what happens to the telephone companies? |
| 101 | So: from the law''s point of view, why risk missing anything? |
| 101 | Software piracy? |
| 101 | Software viruses? |
| 101 | Some journo had asked him:"Would you describe these people as GENIUSES?" |
| 101 | Some kind of vigilante group? |
| 101 | Theft of cable service? |
| 101 | There''s a case on record of a single question--"How''d you do it?" |
| 101 | UNUSUAL PROBLEMS WITH HER PHONE? |
| 101 | Waltz? |
| 101 | Was hacking FRAUD? |
| 101 | Was hacking THEFT OF SERVICE? |
| 101 | Was it some kind of automatic keyboard- whacking device that could actually type code? |
| 101 | Water utilities? |
| 101 | Were they PUBLIC INFORMATION, these charts, all about PSAPs, ALIs, nodes, local end switches? |
| 101 | Were they VOYEURS, snoops, invaders of privacy? |
| 101 | Were they dangerous? |
| 101 | Were they just BROWSERS, harmless intellectual explorers? |
| 101 | Were they"mischievous?" |
| 101 | Whaddya gon na do? |
| 101 | What are we to make of this? |
| 101 | What did they want? |
| 101 | What distinguishes it from a standard board? |
| 101 | What does an underground board look like? |
| 101 | What exactly HAVE you"stolen,"anyway? |
| 101 | What happened to backups? |
| 101 | What if the computer is the instrumentality of a crime? |
| 101 | What on earth do they expect these dual guests to do with each other? |
| 101 | What other group of criminals, she asks rhetorically, publishes newsletters and holds conventions? |
| 101 | What were computer- intruding hackers, anyway-- how should society, and the law, best define their actions? |
| 101 | What will computer crime look like in ten years? |
| 101 | What''s to be done with these people, in the bright new shiny electroworld? |
| 101 | Where had they come from? |
| 101 | Who WERE they? |
| 101 | Who knows what they''re up to, in Oregon or Alaska or Florida or California? |
| 101 | Who remembers the name of the SECOND head of the Secret Service? |
| 101 | Who were these"underground groups"and"high- tech operators?" |
| 101 | Who? |
| 101 | Whom did it hurt, really? |
| 101 | Why did Prophet do this? |
| 101 | Why did the alarm systems blare automatically, without any human being noticing? |
| 101 | Why does this Nice Lady hang out with these unsavory characters? |
| 101 | Why had those New York switching systems simply run out of power? |
| 101 | Why should he be? |
| 101 | Will it get better? |
| 101 | Will it have Phrack on it? |
| 101 | With contempt? |
| 101 | Would my computer be seized by the Secret Service? |
| 101 | Would n''t that spell the doom of AT&T as an institution? |
| 101 | You BOUGHT it?" |
| 101 | or is it Organized Against Crime Threat? |
| 23292 | ''For Heaven''s sake, Williams, what have you got in that box?'' 23292 ''Have you any money?'' |
| 23292 | A card, eh? 23292 A rag rug, now-- why would n''t that be a good thing? |
| 23292 | A whole lot? |
| 23292 | Ai n''t he the brainy one, though? 23292 Ai n''t there anything we could do to help out? |
| 23292 | Ai n''t there nothin''I can donate? |
| 23292 | And I can count on you? |
| 23292 | And now the telephone was actually launched? |
| 23292 | And the current interrupters? |
| 23292 | And what about wireless? |
| 23292 | And why, pray, should he object? |
| 23292 | And you''re not afraid to stay way off here by yourself? |
| 23292 | And your boy-- if he does not go on with his studies shall you have him enter the factories? |
| 23292 | And your daughters are working? |
| 23292 | Any pickerel holes where you lived? |
| 23292 | Anything more you want to say to me? |
| 23292 | Are n''t you tired? |
| 23292 | Are you in bed, son? |
| 23292 | But are n''t there boats at the landing? |
| 23292 | But hang it all-- why do you want to balk and torment me so? |
| 23292 | But is n''t it going to cost a fortune to do the thing as you want it done? |
| 23292 | But was n''t it a pity? |
| 23292 | But you prefer the science? |
| 23292 | By telegraph? |
| 23292 | Ca n''t you, Laurie? |
| 23292 | Cross your heart? |
| 23292 | Did I say I wanted a telephone? |
| 23292 | Did I? 23292 Did he get it to work?" |
| 23292 | Did n''t he ever meet any successful inventors? |
| 23292 | Did n''t you hear them say that it was the bursting of the Melton reservoir which was largely responsible for this catastrophe? 23292 Did you get where you could take messages?" |
| 23292 | Do n''t you ever eat anything, kid? |
| 23292 | Do n''t you remember how long Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, experimented before he got results? |
| 23292 | Do you like haying? |
| 23292 | Do you recall the white mice you had once, Laurie, and how they got loose and ran all over the house? |
| 23292 | Do you think so, sir? |
| 23292 | Do-- do-- you really mean I may use the current for experiments? |
| 23292 | Does that convince you, Cronin? |
| 23292 | Ever tried landlocked salmon? |
| 23292 | Find it? 23292 Had they made any long- distance trials up to this time?" |
| 23292 | Have n''t I been decent? |
| 23292 | Have n''t I fallen in with every idea you''ve suggested? 23292 Have n''t you a tongue in your head? |
| 23292 | Have you done it to your satisfaction? |
| 23292 | Have you indeed, sir? |
| 23292 | How am I ever going to get well, or think I am well, if you keep reminding me every minute that I am a helpless wreck? 23292 How did they manage the lectures?" |
| 23292 | How did you happen to go into that? |
| 23292 | How much do you get in the shipping room? |
| 23292 | How old are you? |
| 23292 | How''s that? |
| 23292 | How? |
| 23292 | I am kinder going round in a circle, ai n''t I? |
| 23292 | I ca n''t for the life of me understand how he knew what he wanted to do, can you? |
| 23292 | I do n''t believe we could live without telephones now, do you? |
| 23292 | I have n''t been mixed up in as many of these jobs as you have and is it surprising that I''m a mite nervous? 23292 I need n''t have taken so much trouble after all, need I? |
| 23292 | I suppose they kept remodelling the telephones all the time after that, did n''t they? |
| 23292 | If you do n''t like it, why are you so anxious to do it now? |
| 23292 | Is n''t he the mind reader? |
| 23292 | Is there any way of lifting the water gates at the mills? |
| 23292 | It must all have been great fun, must n''t it? |
| 23292 | It seems a shame Mr. Bell should have had to take his time to do that, does n''t it? |
| 23292 | Mercy on us, Ted, what under the sun have you been doing until this time of night? |
| 23292 | My dear boy, you do not for an instant suppose that the telephones of that period had bells, do you? |
| 23292 | Now however do you suppose he guessed it? |
| 23292 | O. K."You''ve got it straight in your head what you are to do? |
| 23292 | Oh-- why----"Should you like to? |
| 23292 | Only you know we never do----"Leave me? 23292 Shall I-- do you mean that I am to go over there after work to- night?" |
| 23292 | So he stole time for electrical work, too, did he? |
| 23292 | So that outfit was yours, was it? |
| 23292 | So you are starting out housekeeping, are you? |
| 23292 | Still, I''m not certain that I ought to----"Leave me? 23292 The ground is some way down, ai n''t it?" |
| 23292 | Then what happened? |
| 23292 | Then your notion would be to plant time bombs at the factories so they will go off in the night? |
| 23292 | There is no way you could come up here and live, is there, Ted? |
| 23292 | Turner? 23292 Vermont, eh?" |
| 23292 | Was n''t it lucky there were no labor unions in those days? |
| 23292 | Well, then, why hesitate? |
| 23292 | Well? |
| 23292 | Were people killed? |
| 23292 | Were these transmitters and receivers made from electromagnets and strips of flat steel, as you told us the other day? |
| 23292 | Were you? |
| 23292 | What are you three conspirators up to? |
| 23292 | What chance had we to talk in a crowded boarding- house whose very walls had ears? 23292 What did Mr. Bell do about it?" |
| 23292 | What did you do in electricity? |
| 23292 | What do you want, youngster? |
| 23292 | What if he does? 23292 What kind of a bed have you got?" |
| 23292 | What makes you so hard on a feller, Alf? |
| 23292 | What was it? |
| 23292 | What was it? |
| 23292 | What''s a thing like that? 23292 What''s the matter with your staying on at Pine Lea and having your lessons with Laurie and Mr. Hazen instead?" |
| 23292 | What''s the sense of running our heads into a noose by landing? |
| 23292 | When you pile it up that way it does sound like a pretty big debt, does n''t it? |
| 23292 | Where are you? |
| 23292 | Where did persons get what they wanted? |
| 23292 | Where did you live before you came here? |
| 23292 | Where did you live? |
| 23292 | Where''d you learn to handle that fork, sonny? |
| 23292 | Where''s your backbone? |
| 23292 | Where, for example, did Mr. Bell get his things? |
| 23292 | Where? |
| 23292 | Who can tell where it all may lead? 23292 Who can tell? |
| 23292 | Why do n''t you try for a job up at Aldercliffe, my lad? |
| 23292 | Why in the name of goodness did n''t you say so? 23292 Why waste all this time? |
| 23292 | Why, are n''t you expecting to be an engineer or something? |
| 23292 | Why-- what in goodness have you done to the place? 23292 Would n''t you like me to wheel you back through the grove?" |
| 23292 | Would you like to go to college if you could? |
| 23292 | Would you-- would you care to come inside the shack? |
| 23292 | Yes, it was like magic, was it not? |
| 23292 | You do like it then? |
| 23292 | You like it? |
| 23292 | You like your quarters then? |
| 23292 | You mean I could go right ahead now? |
| 23292 | You understand the dangers of running too many volts through your body and of crossing wires, do n''t you? |
| 23292 | You would n''t be timid about sleeping off there by yourself? |
| 23292 | You''d like it? |
| 23292 | You''ll really have it put in, Dad? |
| 23292 | You''re Ted Turner, are n''t you? |
| 23292 | You''re not going to back out or squeal? |
| 23292 | You''re ready to stick it out, then? |
| 23292 | ''How will you do that?'' |
| 23292 | A baby? |
| 23292 | Ai n''t I right here and ready?" |
| 23292 | All is, should we ask of you some little extra service now and then, I am sure you will willingly perform it, wo n''t you?" |
| 23292 | And must the telephone be shut away from the public and never take its place of service in the great world? |
| 23292 | And so you have been taking up electricity at school, eh?" |
| 23292 | And the andirons, too?" |
| 23292 | And the telephone?" |
| 23292 | And what are you working at in school that is so alluring?" |
| 23292 | And what said Laurie''s mother? |
| 23292 | And why was his own vague sadness reflected in Laurie''s eyes and in those of Mr. Hazen? |
| 23292 | And would n''t you like some curtains? |
| 23292 | And you came from Newfane here? |
| 23292 | And your curtains came from home, too?" |
| 23292 | Any hope in the place?" |
| 23292 | Anything you want to say to me?" |
| 23292 | Are n''t you improving the Fernald property, I''d like to know?" |
| 23292 | Are you here?" |
| 23292 | Bell?" |
| 23292 | But how are you going to get along? |
| 23292 | But now what was the use? |
| 23292 | But what choice had he? |
| 23292 | But----""Well, why not give in and let me have this one thing as I want it? |
| 23292 | By and by, however, Grandfather Fernald observed:"Do n''t you think, Clarence, Turner''s pay should be increased? |
| 23292 | CHAPTER X WHAT CAME AFTERWARD"Was that first telephone like ours?" |
| 23292 | Charity-- when we owe the life of our boy, the lives of many of our workmen, the safety of our mills to your son?" |
| 23292 | Come, brace up, ca n''t you?" |
| 23292 | Consequently when he ventured to say,"I wonder if somebody would help me with this harrow?" |
| 23292 | Could any gifts be rarer? |
| 23292 | Could it be that the contrivance which worked so promisingly in the Boston rooms would not work under these other conditions? |
| 23292 | Cut along and get the book, ca n''t you? |
| 23292 | Did n''t that come from Vermont? |
| 23292 | Do n''t I know it? |
| 23292 | Do n''t you want to see if you ca n''t get him started on it? |
| 23292 | Do you mean there would be a chance that Laurie could walk sometime?" |
| 23292 | Do you mean to stand by me and see this thing to a finish or do n''t you?" |
| 23292 | Do you suppose I would go on with a scheme like this and leave you wandering round to blab broadcast whatever you thought fit?" |
| 23292 | Do you want to go ahead or do n''t you? |
| 23292 | Had he knocked out the entire circuit or what had he done in his fit of temper? |
| 23292 | Has n''t he told you?" |
| 23292 | Have n''t I told you I will invent some yarn to put him off the scent? |
| 23292 | Have you ever tried singing a note into this instrument when the sustaining pedal is depressed? |
| 23292 | He stopped an instant to glance into the boy''s face then added kindly,"So you think you are going to like your new quarters, eh?" |
| 23292 | He''s a Fernald and because he is----""But he is n''t to blame for that, is he?" |
| 23292 | Holmes, what is that play toy you have taken the liberty of putting up out there in the banking room?'' |
| 23292 | How are we ever to put this thing over if you do n''t pull yourself together? |
| 23292 | How came you to think of window- boxes?" |
| 23292 | How could they? |
| 23292 | How did he ever get the idea in the first place?" |
| 23292 | How did you happen to do that?" |
| 23292 | How lengthy a circuit do you expect to cover?" |
| 23292 | How would the notion strike you?" |
| 23292 | How''ll that be?" |
| 23292 | I have n''t stood out for a single thing but this, have I?" |
| 23292 | I suppose you do n''t get through much before five, do you?" |
| 23292 | If Mr. Wharton ran the electric wires over to the shack, what was to prevent him from utilizing the current for some of his own contrivances? |
| 23292 | If you swear to stand by me and do n''t do it, your miserable life wo n''t be worth a farthing-- understand? |
| 23292 | If you''ll say the word, I''ll start right in to- night after work and----""Why wait until to- night?" |
| 23292 | Immediately there was a cry from Mr. Bell who rushed into the hall, exclaiming,''What did you do then? |
| 23292 | In the face of such entreaty who could have remained obdurate? |
| 23292 | It is like ink, is n''t it? |
| 23292 | It was strange that a little sigh accompanied the thought for had he not always looked forward to this very prospect? |
| 23292 | Might there not be another Morse sounder somewhere about? |
| 23292 | Must he be drowned there all alone? |
| 23292 | Must he lie there and be borne along until he was at last carried over the dam at his father''s mills? |
| 23292 | One day when Mr. Watson called from his end of the line,''How do you do?'' |
| 23292 | Or on the village streets? |
| 23292 | Or was it that the force of the vibration filtered off at each insulator along the line until it became too feeble to be heard? |
| 23292 | Suppose a twig should crack beneath his feet and warn the vandals of his approach? |
| 23292 | Ted Turner?" |
| 23292 | Ted will be here before long, wo n''t he? |
| 23292 | The directness of the lad evidently pleased the elder man for he answered more kindly:"It is quiet here, is n''t it? |
| 23292 | The psychological reaction was too much for many a well- poised individual and I do not wonder it was, do you?" |
| 23292 | The room is actually a pretty one, is n''t it? |
| 23292 | Then I have quite a while to wait, do n''t I? |
| 23292 | They were working together and for the same goal and what did it matter which of them had proposed the scheme they finally followed? |
| 23292 | Was any spot on earth so still as this? |
| 23292 | Was n''t there a wire spring round here somewhere, Ruth? |
| 23292 | Was not studying the thing he had longed to be free to do? |
| 23292 | Was success to be sacrificed now that the goal was well within sight? |
| 23292 | Was the contest to be a losing one, after all? |
| 23292 | Was there no one to aid him? |
| 23292 | Were you sorry to give up farming?" |
| 23292 | What could it be? |
| 23292 | What did men use to fill up such a mighty receptacle, anyway? |
| 23292 | What did you do to get rid of them when you were up in Vermont?" |
| 23292 | What do you say to the notion?" |
| 23292 | What do you think I am, Hazen? |
| 23292 | What does the man think you are-- a millionaire?" |
| 23292 | What is he to you?" |
| 23292 | What luck did you have with it?" |
| 23292 | What man in all Freeman''s Falls could have envied him if acquainted with all the conditions of his life? |
| 23292 | What on earth is going to happen to me, I''d like to know?" |
| 23292 | What time is it?" |
| 23292 | What use was it then ever again to attempt to be austere and unapproachable Fernalds? |
| 23292 | What use will it be to take the old men of the family if the young one still lives on?" |
