it for some thing like... well, like, forcing that line to be busy for 2 straight days thus
causing the company to lose money, is completely up to you.

FBI raids major Ohio computer bulletin board; action follows joint investigation with SPA.
The Federation Bureau of Investigation on Saturday, Jan. 30, 1993, raided "Rusty &
Edie's," a computer bulletin board located in Boardman, Ohio, which has allegedly been
illegally distributing copyrighted software programs. Seized in the raid on the Rusty &
Edie's bulletin board were computers, hard disk drives and telecommunications equipment,
as well as financial and subscriber records. For the past several months, the Software
Publishers Association ("SPA") has been working with the FBI in investigating the Rusty &
Edie's bulletin board, and as part of that investigation has downloaded numerous
copyrighted business and entertainment programs from the board.
The SPA investigation was initiated following the receipt of complaints from a number of
SPA members that their software was being illegally distributed on the Rusty & Edie's
BBS. The Rusty & Edie's bulletin board was one of the largest private bulletin boards in
the country. It had 124 nodes available to callers and over 14,000 subscribers throughout
the United States and several foreign countries. To date, the board has logged in excess
of 3.4 million phone calls, with new calls coming in at the rate of over 4,000 per day. It
was established in 1987 and had expanded to include over 19 gigabytes of storage housing
over 100,000 files available to subscribers for downloading. It had paid subscribers
throughout the United States and several foreign countries, including Canada, Luxembourg,
France, Germany, Finland, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
A computer bulletin board allows personal computer users to access a host computer by a
modem-equipped telephone to exchange information, including messages, files, and
computer programs. The systems operator is generally responsible for the operation of the
bulletin board and determines who is allowed to access the bulletin board and under what
conditions. For a fee of $89.00 per year, subscribers to the Rusty & Edie's bulletin board
were given access to the board's contents including many popular copyrighted business and
entertainment packages. Subscribers could "download" or receive these files for use on
their own computers without having to pay the copyrighted owner anything for them.
"The SPA applauds the FBI's action today," said Ilene Rosenthal, general counsel for the
SPA. "This shows that the FBI recognizes the harm that theft of intellectual property
causes to one of the USs most vibrant industries. It clearly demonstrates a trend that the
government understands the seriousness of software piracy." The SPA is actively working
with the FBI in the investigation of computer bulletin boards, and similar raids on other
boards are expected shortly. Whether it's copied from a program purchased at a
neighborhood computer store or downloaded from a bulletin board thousands of miles
away, pirated software adds to the cost of computing. According to the SPA, in 1991, the
software industry lost $1.2 billion in the US alone. Losses internationally are several billion
dollars more.
"Many people may not realize that software pirates cause prices to be higher, in part, to
make up for publisher losses from piracy," says Ken Wasch, executive director of the SPA.
In addition, they ruin the reputation of the hundreds of legitimate bulletin boards that
serve an important function for computer users." The Software Publishers Association is
the principal trade association of the personal computer software industry. It's over 1,000
members represent the leading publishers in the business, consumer and education
software markets. The SPA has offices in Washington DC, and Paris, France.

181.ANARCHY 'N' EXPLOSIVES - VOLUME 2 by Exodus
This volume defines a few varieties of misc. explosives, charges, and whatever I had in
mind at that time. Anyway, these formulas are not as precise in measurements for they
were given in brief summary. However, they will work, and if used correctly can be safe
and "fun".
FRENCH AMMONAL [Low Explosive]:
Ingredients:
86% Ammonium Nitrate
6% Stearic Acid
8% Aluminum Powder
Description:
French ammonal is an easily improvised low explosive mixture. It is generally less effective
than an equal weight of TNT. The material is loaded by pressing it into a suitable
container. Initiation by an Engineer's special blasting cap is recommended.
Comments:
This material was tested. It is effective.
References:
TM 31-201-1, Unconventional Warfare Devices and Techniques, para 1401.
TETRYTOL [High Explosive]:
Ingredients:
75% Tetrytol
25% TNT
Description:
Tetrytol is a high explosive bursting charge. It is used as a demolition explosive, a bursting
charge for mines, and in artillery shells. The explosive force of tetrytol is approximately
the same as that of TNT. It may be initiated by a blasting cap. Tetrytol is usually loaded
by casting.
Comments:
This material was tested. It is effective.
References:
TM 9-1900; Ammunition, General, page 55. Military Explosives, page 188.
IMPROVISED PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE FILLER [High Explosive]:
Ingredients:
Finely Powdered Potassium Chlorate
Cdata bstals
Petroleum Jelly
**MIX THOUROUGHLY**
Description:
This plastic explosive filler can be detonated with a No. 8 commercial blasting cap or with
any military blasting cap. The explosive must be stored in a waterproof container until
ready to use.
Comments:
This material was tested. It is effective.
References:
TM 31-210, Improvised Munitions, sec I, No. 1.
FLAMMABILITY OF GASES [Gas Explosive]:
Ingredients:
Explosive Gas
Description:
Under some conditions, common gases act as fuel. When mixed with air, they will burn
rapidly or even explode. For some fuel-air mixtures, the range over which the explosion can
occur is quite wide while for others the limits are narrow. The upper and lower amounts of
common fuels that will cause an ignitable mixture are shown in the table below. The
quantity shown is the percentage by volume of air. If the fuel-air mixture is too lean or
too rich, it will not ignite. The amounts shown are therefore called limits of inflammability.
Gases (% by volume of air)
Fuel (Gas)Lower LimitUpper Limit
Water Gas Or Blue Gas7.072Natural
Gas4.715Hydrogen4.075Acetylene2«81Propane2.210Butane1.99
Comments:
These fuels have been tested under laboratory conditions. They are effective. Ignition
depends on method of initiation, uniformity of mixture, and physical conditions.

This is the MOST important or one of the most important volumes regarding the various
mixtures of anarchy that I will be "publishing" to the "public". Also, it may as well be the
MOST DANGEROUS to prepare, the substance we will be dealing with is Trinitrotoluene,
or short - TNT. This high explosive is a VERY DANGEROUS, slightly unstable substance.
The crystallized crude TNT is about the color of brown sugar and feels greasy to the
touch. It is suitable for many uses as a high-explosive, but not for the use in high-explosive
shells. It is also highly reactive to many other chemical substances. It can be incorporated
