Paleolinguistics is the study of human prehistory through linguistic evidence. It is identical in goals and methods with historical linguistics, differing only in application by concentrating on deeper and older relationships between languages. (The difference between paleolinguistics and historical linguistics is analogous to the difference between paleoanthropology and anthropology in general.) Some applications of paleolinguistics are classification (the organization of languages into language families, and subsequently the organization of families into macrofamilies), reconstruction (reconstituting the lexicon, grammar, and phonology of hypothetical proto-languages), and glottochronology (the estimation of linguistic time-depths on the basis of preserved vocabulary, analogous to the radiocarbon dating of archeology). Some eminent paleolinguists of the past were Karl Bouda, Joseph Greenberg, Karl-Heinrich Menges, V.M. Illich-Svitych, Edward Sapir, Robert Shafer, Sergei Starostin (†2005), Morris Swadesh, Alfredo Trombetti.

West Coast Phreakers is a hacking and phreaking group (or h/p) based in British Columbia, Canada. While it is Western Canadian based, the group does have members from the Western Seaboard of the United States. The co-founder of the group, smes, is quite illusive of where exactly he is from usually only making vague statements such as “Vancouver Island”, or south of Drunken Duncan. Maniak on the other hand resides in Vancouver as well as Prince George, BC for some of the year. The third member of the group, El Jefe, lives in a suburb of Seattle, WA. West Coast Phreakers publishes a text e-zine known as West Coast Phreakers magazine, or WCP 'Zine, tri-yearly. Topics in the e-zine usually revolve around exploiting and exploring computer and telephone networks. Although there have been some articles in the past about Urban Exploration, and Social Engineering, and some on social commentary. It is believed that West Coast Phreakers will create and publish a print magazine, similar to BinRev Magazine and 2600 later this year.
