...find a hacker last week who wasn't in full sneer about the so-called script kiddies--newcomers who would dare commit such ignoble attacks with prefab software. "A lot of us hackers feel insulted, because it's a no-brainer," says Val Koseroski, 32, a self-confessed "old-school" hacker with a wife, a child and a mortgage. "When I was growing up, hacking was about learning how a computer operates. You always tried to push it to the edge. Kids these days, they just want to do any damage they...
...sitting in a rented Hertz in the parking lot of a CVS drugstore waiting for your cell phone to ring. You're waiting for D'Angelo. You're not alone. Ever since the hip-hop/soul singer released his promising first album, Brown Sugar (1995), with its old-school crooning and new-school beats, fans, critics and impressed fellow musicians have been eagerly anticipating his follow-up. Even hip-hop folkie Beck--a guy who could give a rat's behind about most pop CDs--asked you a few months ago, "Is D'Angelo done with that album...
...permanent Center for Year 2000 Strategic Stability. Officers from both sides of the cold peace, who were there to make sure no nukes accidentally went off, labored to keep busy, channel surfing among CNN and other news shows and showing one another Russian Internet fare.

Roy and Matthew's rhymes flowed smoothly, and their old-school touches (human beatbox effects and a strong effort at turntablism). Perhaps the best display of their skills was "Topics," where the duo rapped about any topic the audience threw at them, improvising some delicious rhymes seemingly from leftfield: Christmas ("seemed last year I got a Sega Genesis/Now...
Never a group to rest on its laurels, Metallica, the only old-school metal outfit that still truly rocks, releases a November album for the third consecutive year with S & M, a live recording of the epic concert they held with the San Francisco Symphony last April. It's a risky experiment, but the double disc, which sprawls over 21 tracks, shows that the gambit paid off. The sheer lyrical power of the orchestra blends seamlessly with Metallica's music to staggering effect, as the booming brass and ghostly strings give songs like "Wherever I May Roam" and "For Whom...
