I ran across this a while back and though that it'd be good for any newbie to learn the history of hacking and cracking...

Links taken from a site map on TLC's site.
This site is full of cool info. I learned a lot of history from here.

Its worth it to check it out.

BTW: Don't forget that Hackers: Outlaws and Angels is airing again at 4pm today (12-15-02) on TLC. It looks like this is the last time they are going to air it... well, thats all that is posted about air dates.
