[edit] Dues

Ya know I hate editing this page myself but people keep posting inacurate information. We never accepted dues. We did take donations of old hardware but not in exchange for membership or anything. We did sell stuff but that didn't make people a member anymore than buying a quater pounder makes you a member of McDonalds. - SR

[edit] spelling of name

The name is L (zero) p h t. I don't know what that stupid big O is but it is not a zero. The reason we put the slash in the logo was so that people would know it was a zero and lot a letter O. In the early days we didn't have the lOpht.com domain so we had to make sure people knew it was a zero. Who is it that is claiming to have known me for 10 years? I don't think I have known anyone for 10 years. Send me email already. Anyway I added some minor edits to the page. We recently got back the lopht.com domian (with an Oh) and there is a place holder page up there. - SR

Isn't their name L0pht rather than LØpht? I was under the impression that the slash across the zero in their logo is because that's how zeroes are rendered in some typewriter fonts, not because it's an Ø. --Delirium 17:35, May 20, 2005 (UTC)

I think you're right. It was recently changed to the Ø. It looks correct, but it is not correct, afaik. --Myles Long 18:48, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Alright, moved back to L0pht. --Delirium 04:48, May 21, 2005 (UTC)

Should we change all LØpht to L0pht on the page? --Easyas12c 11:33, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

Wow! The name is 'LØpht'. The Ø is from a typerwriter ( teletype, ASR-33 ) font, A deritive of ITC Souviner. That Chukka-chukka you used to hear on the evening news? That was it. Althought it may have recently been changed to 'LØpht' from 'L0pht', It sould remain 'LØpht'. I have known SpaceRogue for 10+ years.

[edit] company category

I thikn this entry should be listed under 'Hacker groups" if there is a such a catagory. We didn;t really become a company until after the merger with @Stake.

Would Category:Companies of the United States be appropriate for the article?

(or a sub category of Category:Companies of the United States by state instead, if someone knows the state.)

--Easyas12c 09:55, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

The state was Massachusetts. --Myles Long 15:48, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Camneerg

Yeah it was Greenmac backwards but I guess that part has been deleted from the page anyway.

observation that may suggest a corection since i know next to nothing about this topic i will not make a change myself.

the part that says: Hence the name was 'Camneerg' or 'Macgreen' backwards.

should say: Hence the name was 'Camneerg' or 'GreenMac' backwards.

I noticed that too. I'll go ahead and change this... misternuvistor 09:56, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
