CmdrTaco Speaking at MacHack in June

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the places-to-be dept.

Apparently I'm Speaking at MacHack somewhere during the show- June 20-22. No clue what I'm speaking about yet. Never even been invited to speak at an Apple focused show, so it's certain to be interesting. It's in Dearborn, MI (near Detroit) if you feel the need to show up and flame me in person. I'm sure there will be time for Q&A about Slashdot stuff.

    I wonder how many mac users even know what you look like. I think I'll be going to that con as the "real" Malda and demanding my speech money...

    Moneyed corporations, non-working 'poor' and criminal prisoners are turning productive citizens into tax-slaves.

  5. flame vs. stalk by chipotle_pickle · · Score: 5, Funny

    If someone jumps on your posts to say mean things about you or your ideas, they are flaming or maybe trolling. If they travel to a conference to flame you in person, that's stalking. Have fun Taco.

    And if somebody asks you too hard questions, use your right to correct your glasses, like Steve Jobs...

  7. Your agenda, CmdrTaco by FattMattP · · Score: 3, Funny
    If only you had read the article, CmdrTaco. According to http://www.mactech.com/news/mt-news-detail.mgi?id= 0000064bb918b85d (which is the link you gave):
    In this rare public appearance, he'll join MacHack's crowd of developers for a lively discussion that will range from his adventures building the online community that Slashdot has become to open source issues and where ever else the freeform gathering might lead.
    I know you guys don't follow links to stories but this is a little ridiculous. But, now you know what to do.

    Spread the word about the /. system to the faithful. You could make many points alone with your experience in developing, implementing and observing the social processes of the /code user moderated system and how the system tends to be self controlling. I'm not sure whether there are parallels to be seen in software licencing and the whole DRM agony, but if there ever was a truly democratic forum system /. is it.

    don't say what another speaker said a few minutes before you go up. I'm sure the conference attendees will appreciate a repost free conference.

    Hey! Maybe he could bribe the developers with mod points.

    How many mod points is an XServer worth I wonder?
