Cult of the Dead Cow

Back when the Internet was being invented, several groups of super-hackers developed. One of them was Cult of the Dead Cow or CDC. It might be the oldest group of hacktivists that still survives. My impression is that the members were interested in pranks, in maintaining freedom of expression and in serious matters. They stole some games and free phone calls, and they declared war on Scientology. One of the members of CDC was Beto O'Rourke. 

His candidacy doesn't look promising at the moment, but among Presidential candidates, Beto may be the most knowledgeable about trends in technology.
