Campzone 2: The Return
rutger21 writes: "CampZone 2 is a large outdoor computer-event in the Netherlands. A field will be transformed into a high-tech campground with full service, including a 100Mbit network and Internet access for everyone. During 11 days, CampZone will be the home for up to 1200 computer enthusiasts from around the world. The main focus of the event is multiplayer gaming, but there will also be other activities, such as paintball." Are there any recurring high-tech temporary communities on this scale in North America? The nearest thing I can think of is Burning Man, and the comparison isn't all that close, especially when it comes to bandwidth.
OSX Runs on BSD: This is very important information for the Linux community, because it reveals another very serious security problem in the BSD kernel.
According to the BugTraq mailing list, a hacker named Russell Harding has posted full instructions online for how to fool Apple's SoftwareUpdate feature to allowing a hacker to install a backdoor on any Mac running OS X. A security mailing list has alerted Apple Computer OS X users to a program that could let a hacker piggyback malicious code on downloads from the company's SoftwareUpdate service.
The exploit takes advantage of SoftwareUpdate, Apple's software updating mechanism in OS X, which checks weekly for new updates from the company. According to Harding, who claims to have discovered the exploit, the feature downloads updates over the Web with no authentication and installs them on a system. So far, there are no patches available for this problem.
"Apple takes all security notifications seriously and is actively investigating this report," a company representative said.
Harding stressed that the exploit is a simple one if using several well-known techniques, including domain-name service (DNS) spoofing and DNS cache poisoning.
DNS spoofing is an attack where an individual seeks out a numerical IP (Internet Protocol) address (for example, 1.2.3.4) corresponding to a specific Internet address (for example, www.cnet.com), but an attacker's computer intercepts the request. The attacker then sends back a false IP address that corresponds to a hostile server.
DNS cache poisoning has similar results, but instead of intercepting a request for an IP address, the attacker uses a variety of techniques to replace the valid address in an official DNS server with an address pointing to the attacker's computer.
When SoftwareUpdate runs normally, a person's computer connects via HTTP to an Apple.com page and sends a simple request for an XML document containing the latest inventory of OS X software. The Apple.com site returns the document, which the person's computer then cross-checks against what it has installed.
After the check, OS X sends a list of software that needs to be updated to another page on Apple.com. If an update for the software is available, the SoftwareUpdate server responds with the location of the software, its size, and a brief description. If not, the server sends a blank page with the information, "No Updates."
On his Web site, Harding provides two programs that he says have been customized for carrying such an attack. One program listens for DNS queries for updates, and when it receives them replies with spoofed packets rerouting them to the attacker's computer.
The second program, which is downloaded onto a victim's Mac and masquerades as a security update, contains a copy of the encrypted communications program, Secure Shell.
Automatic updates of software--particularly operating system software--is a growing trend. Several Linux ( news - web sites) companies offer this feature for their distributions of the open-source operating system, and Microsoft recently launched a similar service called Microsoft Software Update Services.

Friends, *nix'ers, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury Slashdot, not to praise it.
The evil that sites do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their code;
So let it be with Slashdot. The noble Taco
Hath told you Slashdot was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Slashdot answer'd it.
Here, under leave of Taco and the rest -
For Taco is an honourable man;
So are they all, all honourable men -
Come I to speak in Slashdot's funeral.
It was my friend, faithful and just to me:
But Taco says it was ambitious;
And Taco is an honourable man.
It hath brought many lusers home to Linux
Whose egos did the general karmas fill:
Did this in Slashdot seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Slashdot hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet Taco says he was ambitious;
And Taco is an honourable man.

Considering that multiplayer gaming competitions with a cash prize have started to take off here in Australia, it's about time a national computer gaming convention happened.
All we need is a big cheap warehouse in one of our main cities. Pity our population isn't big enough to support something like this.
Hell, our telecommunications and public transport infrastructure is barely adequate for the meagre population we have. But I digress.
Perhaps having some sort of extreme gaming event would get people from overseas interested.
We host enough international sporting events, why not have an international multiplayer gaming event here?

There is no net access at Burning Man. Maybe individuals have set up something, but since Black Rock City is out of range of any cell phone towers, it would be difficult. And if anyone has set such a thing up, it has not been made available to others.
There was something last year called PlayaNet, which was sort of an intranet between several sites in the city. But it was restricted to inside of Black Rock City only.
So, no, Burning Man may have temporary community, and there may be some techie types there, but there is no connection to the web at large. OTOH, maybe that's the way it should be.

I don't know about high tech campouts, but there certainly are large LOW tech campouts, like the Pennsic War: 10,000+ people camping a bit north of Pittsburgh, reacreating the fun parts of the Middle Ages. Porta-potties, tents, Renaissance dance every night...

There was an event a month or two ago called millionmanlan here in louisville and in los angeles, something like 2500 gamers in both locations. lanwar.org has info about it.
Don't drink Mountiain Dew! Mountain Dew is a highly addictive substance that has adverse health consequences. Mountain Dew is designed to be addicting and dehydrating. Mountain Dew's ingredients include caffeine, a highly addictive substance which also inhibits development, and sodium, which causes the drinker to become thirstier proportionally to the amount of soda consumed. Additionally, the beverage is lubracated so that it can be consumed more rapidly, and, recently, the can's aperture has been enlarged for the same reason (wide mouth can). Someone should start a Target Market for big soda!
Note: this is not offtopic, troll, flamebait. This is important information and certainly is "news for nerds" and even "stuff that matters".
Got friends?
Last weeks 6th Fragapalooza was attended by around 1000 (1100 signed up and I'm not sure the actual number). Of course its all indoors in a nice air-conditioned conference center, but it used to be held in an aircraft hanger. Intel provided a massive switched backbone that was awesome. Its held in Canada so I can see why so many people know nothing about it.
Also next month around 1000 people are signed up to attend Fragmart in Richmond B.C. Canada.
Since Worldcom is going under now is the time to buy some backbone access, then hold the worlds largest multiplayer game tournament. Can't wait for a public aution, I could use a couple of server cabinets.
I feel it is my duty to point out an interesting parallel I've found between two second-class societal entities: Women and open-source software. At first glance, one might think of the two as being not at all likely to be associated with each other, but a more thorough understanding demands a closer look.
Women have, throughout almost the entire length of history, been treated as second-class citizens. This is only fitting, as their physical and mental capabilties are both substantially below those of their male counterparts. Women are like open-source software hippies: They accomplish nothing and then complain about the second-class treatment they receive. Their achievements are limited, unremarkable, and in almost every instance, able to be completely surpassed by those of their male counterparts.
Take sports, for example: Why are there no women in the American NFL, NBA, NHL, or MLB? Feminists will shout loudly that it's because they're not allowed, but this is not true; the real reason is that there are no women skilled enough to compete against the highly competitive and infinitely more capable men. Even the strongest, bulkiest woman will crumple under the weight of a 350-pound linebacker colossus.
This brings me to another important observation: Women produce much less testosterone than men, and so, without artificial supplements, are doomed to weakness and incapability. They have barely any muscle to speak of; most women over 175 pounds are simply fat, whereas men are perfectly capable of achieving in excess of 250 pounds of pure, woman-crushing muscle.
Take scientific progress: Who invented the television? The automobile? The airplane? The light bulb? The steam engine? The automatic penis enlarger? Atomic energy? The Periodic Table of the Elements? Penicillin? Men, all men. What have women accomplished? Nothing. Nada.
Take intelligence. The great geniuses in history: Einstein. Picasso. Heisenberg. DaVinci. Hitler. Shakespeare. Fermat. Himmler. All men. Can you name even ONE female genius? Of course you can't, because none exist; there is no such thing as a female who doesn't live by riding the coattails of her smarter and more capable male counterpart.
Take the penis: Who has the penis? The man does, not the woman. The woman has a mere hole where the penis should be. No wonder women feel so subordinate and inferior: All the whining and excuses of the Feminist Left is merely a result of an extended case of penis envy.
But enough about women. How could all the evidence I've demonstrated possibly tie into the open-source software movement? A valid question!
The OSS proponent's incessant superiority complex, even when deep-down, he knows he is in last place, smacks of similarity with the woman's complaints of being in second place even when she knows she is nothing but an inferior, penis-lacking clone of her male counterpart.
Ever wonder why geeks hate Microsoft so much? It's because they're jealous; they know they can never even dream of accomplishing what Microsoft has. Microsoft is the OSS movement's Emmanuel Goldstein - the scapegoat for all that is wrong with OSS.
Ever wonder why women hate men so much? Now you understand.
I'm quite aware that the glimpse I've presented at how open-source software's never-ending and always-failing attempt to gain respect in the world is so similar to women's similar attempts to make up for their missing Y chromosome will be upsetting to many readers, but reality is not always cozy. Although women, like open-source software projects, are dramatically inferior, we men can comfort them by looking down on them with pity, holding doors for them (as they are too weak to do it themselves), and letting them suck on our penises, because they do want our cum, even when they say they don't.

Bitter Old Man, Ph. D.
Goodness, I sure hope that the paintball is live, and not some Quake mod, heh.
I went to Bonnaroo music festival back in late June and kept thinking how cool would it be to hook up a little wireless community with all the attendees. Would be a great way to swap audio with show tapers. There were dozens of bands there so no one group could cover them all. It was out in the middle of the country so getting a connection to the larger net would be tough. The other thing was the radio traffic through the weekend was ridiculous. 75,000 people and only one cellular tower... and all the little FRS radios were in use, all channels and privacy codes possible. The "tech" companies there included only Gateway and XBox... but I think the development of a network community at large scale festivals could be a really nice way to enhance the experience. Also the sponsorship of the infrastructure needed would be another way to help fund the event. Anyone have any thoughts on bringing tech to more traditional gatherings?
This has been posted before at about the same time last year!
/. editors ever check for these sort of things?
Don't the
For help in quiting, check out

From the rules page, it says that paintball guns are specifically NOT allowed.

Jesus saves souls and redeems them for valuable cash prizes
nothin like a bunch of smart people to advance change. so much could be accomplished from needs that would be brought about by such a large outdoor gathering of socially and unsanitary people! for example:
- quick and easy means of networking a large number of computers
- streamlined troubleshooting scripts for large-scale multiplayer gaming problems
- novel ways of conserving toilet paper, including the world's first overlocked toilet, which flushes with 25GPF force effectively enabling the hidden bidet feature, thus doing away with the need for toilet paper
- world's first toilet-cooled CPU
- overclocked sticks of deodorant which push out 50ccs of gel deodorant with a single twist
- overclocked deodorant spray designed to expel the contents of the entire can with a single press of the button, leading to the formation of a large, flammable cloud and subsequent auto-ignition of said cloud from CPU heat, which incinerates odorants and sterilizes users' armpits
- finally, the invention of new jackoff techniques designed for speed and efficiency. a truly necessary technique for a world full of gov't surveillance and prying eyes.
GO GEEKS!
GO FORTH AND BRING CHANGE UNTO THE WORLD!
Are there any recurring high-tech temporary communities on this scale in North America?
I can't think of any. Then again, when I'm out camping or hiking, I want to get the hell _away_ from the computers I spend all my working time with. It's tough to appreciate being outdoors when your eyes are still focused on the panel of your laptop.

What better way of demonstrating this than by looking at the hidden messages contained within the names of some of Linux's most outspoken advocates:
I'm sure that Eric S. Raymond, composer of the satanic homosexual propaganda diatribe The Cathedral and the Bizarre, is probably an anagram of something queer, but we don't need to look that far as we know he's always shoving a gun up some poor little boy's rectum. Update: Eric S. Raymond is actually an anagram for secondary rim and cord in my arse. It just goes to show you that he is indeed queer.
Update the Second: It is also documented that Evil Sicko Gaymond is responsible for a nauseating piece of code called Fetchmail, which is obviously sinister sodomite slang for 'Felch Male' -- a disgusting practise. For those not in the know, 'felching' is the act performed by two perverts wherein one sucks their own post-coital ejaculate out of the other's rectum. In fact, it appears that the dirty Linux faggots set out to undermine the good Republican institution of e-mail, turning it into 'e-male.'
As far as Richard 'Master' Stallman goes, that filthy fudge-packer was actually quoted on leftist commie propaganda site Salon.com as saying the following: 'I've been resistant to the pressure to conform in any circumstance,' he says. 'It's about being able to question conventional wisdom,' he asserts. 'I believe in love, but not monogamy,' he says plainly.
And this isn't a made up troll bullshit either! He actually stated this tripe, which makes it obvious that he is trying to politely say that he's a flaming homo slut!
Speaking about 'flaming,' who better to point out as a filthy chutney ferret than Slashdot's very own self-confessed pederast Jon Katz. Although an obvious deviant anagram cannot be found from his name, he has already confessed, nay boasted of the homosexual perversion of corrupting the innocence of young children. To quote from the article linked:
'I've got a rare kidney disease,' I told her. 'I have to go to the bathroom a lot. You can come with me if you want, but it takes a while. Is that okay with you? Do you want a note from my doctor?'
Is this why you were touching your penis in the cinema, Jon? And letting the other boys touch it too?
We should also point out that Jon Katz refers to himself as 'Slashdot's resident Gasbag.' Is there any more doubt? For those fortunate few who aren't aware of the list of homosexual terminology found inside the Linux 'Sauce Code,' a 'Gasbag' is a pervert who gains sexual gratification from having a thin straw inserted into his urethra (or to use the common parlance, 'piss-pipe'), then his homosexual lover blows firmly down the straw to inflate his scrotum. This is, of course, when he's not busy violating the dignity and copyright of posters to Slashdot by gathering together their postings and publishing them en masse to further his twisted and manipulative journalistic agenda.
Sick, disgusting antichristian perverts, the lot of them.
In addition, many of the Linux distributions (a 'distribution' is the most common way to spread the faggots' wares) are run by faggot groups. The Slackware distro is named after the 'Slack-wear' fags wear to allow easy access to the anus for sexual purposes. Furthermore, Slackware is a close anagram of claw arse, a reference to the homosexual practise of anal fisting. The Mandrake product is run by a group of French faggot satanists, and is named after the faggot nickname for the vibrator. It was also chosen because it is an anagram for dark amen and ram naked, which is what they do.
Another 'distro,' (abbrieviated as such because it sounds a bit like 'Disco,' which is where homosexuals preyed on young boys in the 1970s), is Debian, an anagram of in a bed, which could be considered innocent enough (after all, a bed is both where we sleep and pray), until we realise what other names Debian uses to describe their foul wares. 'Woody' is obvious enough, being a term for the erect male penis, glistening with pre-cum. But far sicker is the phrase 'Frozen Potato' that they use. This filthy term, again found in the secret homosexual 'Sauce Code,' refers to the solo homosexual practice of defecating into a clear polythene bag, shaping the turd into a crude approximation of the male phallus, then leaving it in the freezer overnight until it becomes solid. The practitioner then proceeds to push the frozen 'potato' up his own rectum, squeezing it in and out until his tight young balls erupt in a screaming orgasm.
And Red Hat is secret homo slang for the tip of a penis that is soaked in blood from a freshly violated underage ringpiece.
The fags have even invented special tools to aid their faggotry! For example, the 'supermount' tool was devised to allow deeper penetration, which is good for fags because it gives more pressure on the prostate gland. 'Automount' is used, on the other hand, because Linux users are all fat and gay, and need to mount each other automatically.
The depths of their depravity can be seen in their use of 'mount points.' These are, plainly speaking, the different points of penetration. The main one is obviously
More evidence is in the fact that Linux users say how much they love `man`, even going so far as to say that all new Linux users (who are in fact just innocent heterosexuals indoctrinated by the gay propaganda) should try out `man`. In no other system do users boast of their frequent recourse to a man.
Other areas of the system also show Linux's inherit gayness. For example, people are often told of the 'FAQ,' but how many innocent heterosexual Windows users know what this actually means. The answer is shocking: Faggot Anal Quest: the voyage of discovery for newly converted fags!
Even the title 'Slashdot' originally referred to a homosexual practice. Slashdot of course refers to the popular gay practice of blood-letting. The Slashbots, of course are those super-zealous homosexuals who take this perversion to its extreme by ripping open their anuses, as seen on the site most popular with Slashdot users, the depraved work of Satan, http://www.eff.org/.
The editors of Slashdot also have homosexual names: 'Hemos' is obvious in itself, being one vowel away from 'Homos.' But even more sickening is 'Commander Taco' which sounds a bit like 'Commode in Taco,' filthy gay slang for a pair of spreadeagled buttocks that are caked with excrement. (The best form of lubrication, they insist.) Sometimes, these 'Taco Commodes' have special 'Salsa Sauce' (blood from a ruptured rectum) and 'Cheese' (rancid flakes of penis discharge) toppings. And to make it even worse, Slashdot runs on Apache!
The Apache server, whose use among fags is as prevalent as AIDS, is named after homosexual activity -- as everyone knows, popular faggot band, the Village People, featured an Apache Indian, and it is for him that this gay program is named.
And that's not forgetting the use of patches in the Linux fag world -- patches are used to make the anus accessible for repeated anal sex even after its rupture by a session of fisting.
To summarise: Linux is gay. 'Slash -- Dot' is the graphical description of the space between a young boy's scrotum and anus. And BeOS is for hermaphrodites and disabled 'stumpers.'
FEEDBACK
Well, the only reason I know all about this is because I had the misfortune to read the Linux 'Sauce code' once. Although publicised as the computer code needed to get Linux up and running on a computer (and haven't you always been worried about the phrase 'Monolithic Kernel'?), this foul document is actually a detailed and graphic description of every conceivable degrading perversion known to the human race, as well as a few of the major animal species. It has shocked and disturbed me, to the point of needing to shock and disturb the common man to warn them of the impending homo-calypse which threatens to engulf our planet.
Doesn't it give you a hard-on to imagine your thick strong poker ramming it's way up my most sacred of sphincters? You're beyond help, my friend, as the only thing you can imagine is the foul penetrative violation of another man. Are you sure you're not Eric Raymond? The government, being populated by limp-wristed liberals, could never stem the sickening tide of homosexual child molesting Linux advocacy. Hell, they've given NAMBLA free reign for years!
Thank you for your kind words of support. However, this document shall only ever be posted anonymously. This is because the 'Open Sauce' movement is a sham, proposing homoerotic cults of hero worshipping in the name of freedom. I speak for the common man. For any man who prefers the warm, enveloping velvet folds of a woman's vagina to the tight puckered ringpiece of a child. These men, being common, decent folk, don't have a say in the political hypocrisy that is Slashdot culture. I am the unknown liberator.
We shouldn't hate them, we should pity them for the misguided fools they are... Fanatical Linux zeal-outs need to be herded into camps for re-education and subsequent rehabilitation into normal heterosexual society. This re-education shall be achieved by forcing them to watch repeats of Baywatch until the very mention of Pamela Anderson causes them to fill their pants with healthy heterosexual jism.
Well, it just goes to show that even the holy Linux 'sauce code' is riddled with bugs that need fixing. (The irony of Jon Katz not even being able to inflate his scrotum correctly has not been lost on me.) The Linux pervert elite already acknowledge this, with their queer slogan: 'Given enough arms, all rectums are shallow.' And anyway, the PS2 sucks major cock and isn't worth the money. Intellivision forever!
For one thing, whilst Linux is a cavalcade of queer propaganda masquerading as the future of computing, NT is used by people who think nothing better of encasing their genitals in quick setting plaster then going to see a really dirty porno film, enjoying the restriction enforced onto them. Remember, a wasted arousal is a sin in the eyes of the Catholic church. Clearly, the only god-fearing Christian operating system in existence is CP/M -- The Christian Program Monitor. All computer users should immediately ask their local pastor to install this fine OS onto their systems. It is the only route to salvation.
Secondly, this message is for every man. Computers know no colour. Not only that, but one of the finest websites in the world is maintained by a Black Man . Now fuck off you racist donkey felcher.
Although there is nothing unholy about the fine heterosexual act of ejaculating between a woman's breasts, squirting one's load up towards her neck and chin area, it should be noted that Perl (standing for Pansies Entering Rectums Locally) is also close to 'Pearl Monocle,' 'Pearl Nosering,' and the ubiquitous 'Pearl Enema.'
One scary thing about Perl is that it contains hidden homosexual messages. Take the following code: LWP::Simple -- It looks innocuous enough, doesn't it? But look at the line closely: There are two colons next to each other! As Larry 'Balls to the' Wall would openly admit in the Perl Documentation, Perl was designed from the ground up to indoctrinate it's programmers into performing unnatural sexual acts -- having two colons so closely together is clearly a reference to the perverse sickening act of 'colon kissing,' whereby two homosexual queers spread their buttocks wide, pressing their filthy torn sphincters together. They then share small round objects like marbles or golfballs by passing them from one rectum to another using muscle contraction alone. This is also referred to in programming 'circles' as 'Parameter Passing.'
And PHP stands for Perverted Homosexual Penetration. Didn't you know?
Well, I don't know about terraforming Mars, but I do know that homosexual Linux Advocates have been probing Uranus for years.
*sniff* That brings a tear to my eye. Thank you once more for your kind support. I have taken faith in the knowledge that I am doing the Good Lord's work, but it is encouraging to know that I am helping out the common man here.
However, I should be cautious about revealing your name 'Cerberus' on such a filthy den of depravity as Slashdot. It is a well known fact that the 'Kerberos' documentation from Microsoft is a detailed manual describing, in intimate, exacting detail, how to sexually penetrate a variety of unwilling canine animals; be they domesticated, wild, or mythical. Slashdot posters have taken great pleasure in illegally spreading this documentation far and wide, treating it as an 'extension' to the Linux 'Sauce Code,' for the sake of 'interoperability.' (The slang term they use for nonconsensual intercourse -- their favourite kind.)
In fact, sick twisted Linux deviants are known to have LAN parties, (Love of Anal Naughtiness, needless to say.), wherein they entice a stray dog, known as the 'Samba Mount,' into their homes. Up to four of these filth-sodden blasphemers against nature take turns to plunge their erect, throbbing, uncircumcised members, conkers-deep, into the rectum, mouth, and other fleshy orifices of the poor animal. Eventually, the 'Samba Mount' collapses due to 'overload,' and needs to be 'rebooted.' (i.e., kicked out into the street, and left to fend for itself.) Many Linux users boast about their 'uptime' in such situations.
If only indeed. You can help our brave cause by moderating this message up as often as possible. I recommend '+1, Underrated,' as that will protect your precious Karma in Metamoderation. Only then can we break through the glass ceiling of Homosexual Slashdot Culture. Is it any wonder that the new version of Slashcode has been christened 'Bender'???
If we can get just one of these postings up to at least '+1,' then it will be archived forever! Others will learn of our struggle, and join with us in our battle for freedom!
I am compelled to document the foulness and carnal depravity that is Linux, in order that we may prepare ourselves for the great holy war that is to follow. It is my solemn duty to peel back the foreskin of ignorance and apply the wire brush of enlightenment.
I could make an arrogant, childish comment along the lines of 'Every time someone asks for 2.0, I won't release it for another 24 hours,' but the truth of the matter is that I'm quite nervous of releasing a 'number two,' as I can guarantee some filthy shit-slurping Linux pervert would want to suck it straight out of my anus before I've even had chance to wipe.
I sincerely hope you're Natalie Portman.
What the fuck?
Well bugger me!
Fuck right off!
IMPORTANT: This message needs to be heard (Not HURD, which is an acronym for 'Huge Unclean Rectal Dilator') across the whole community, so it has been released into the Public Domain. You know, that licence that we all had before those homoerotic crypto-fascists came out with the GPL (Gay Penetration License) that is no more than an excuse to see who's got the biggest feces-encrusted cock. I would have put this up on Freshmeat, but that name is known to be a euphemism for the tight rump of a young boy.
Come to think of it, the whole concept of 'Source Control' unnerves me, because it sounds a bit like 'Sauce Control,' which is a description of the homosexual practice of holding the base of the cock shaft tightly upon the point of ejaculation, thus causing a build up of semenal fluid that is only released upon entry into an incision made into the base of the receiver's scrotum. And 'Open Sauce' is the act of ejaculating into another mans face or perhaps a biscuit to be shared later. Obviously, 'Closed Sauce' is the only Christian thing to do, as evidenced by the fact that it is what Cathedrals are all about.

I dunno, sounds like fun, but then again, that's why I'm going to Quakecon next month. We're running a full 100mbit LAN with internet access in a 1500 seat Bring-Your-Own-Computer area, and of course 2 tournaments with big cash prizes. Not going to have paintball, but then again its only 3 days for the event. (a little easier if you can only come on the weekend.) Get to see some of the cool displays from id Software, ATI, and whoever else is there this year. Last year, something like 3000 people showed up, to play, compete, or just to hang out.
Not to mention, I'd rather have my computer inside. Just one of those things. Concrete floor, A/C, etc.
But if I could go, I'd be there.

It happens yearly (incidentally, last weekend). 4 days of non-stop gaming, contests & silliness. Lots of case mods (my fav was the labatts blue fridge system). A buddy of mine won a can of SPAM for the best "Ghetto mod" PC - a beat up gateway with duct-tape keeping the cover on.
3 & 4AM Sunday MOHAA: funnies included 'nade dancing, an orgy, an unsuccessful congo line (some dumbass kept dropping nades) and a human pyramid.
Official tourney's were were 5v5 Counterstrike (blech!), 4v4 RA3, and an Xbox Halo tourney. See the site for the give-a-way goodies & details.
It was loads of fun and I'll definitely be back next year. We even had a guy from Washington state (but the guy arrived with a fried HDD). And wow...chicks...and 1 in a skipping contest, no less...*droool*
There seems to be a lot of smart people there. A lot of programmers seem to be Dutch (Blender), etc...
Something in the pot, perhaps? I dunno!
Dunno... the technology available up there is pretty amazing.... 6mbit satelite pipe... many 802.11b networks (with a relatively low noise floor too!) pirate radio to your heart's content, and plya information kiosk's running freeBSD... But the best technology up there is leaving your computer behind and hanging out with a bunch of other techies and freaks and hacking what's available to make something really cool.

... I'm very close to ending the tired road because there is no God who could make every cell in my body cry out for justice. I want to never hear again the cruel words of the ignorant that are mass-broadcasted to all the stupid, vulnerable dip shits of this country. I want to never experience again dope withdrawl, the meaningless activities necessary for my long term survival, being called a drug addict, having to witness the defects of certain legions who continue feeding (consciously?) the stereotypes they claim to be burdened by, never having to bear the thought of being alone without a lover ......

Sacramento's most hidden/elusive, hydrocodone addicted jobless heavy is back in motherfuck'en business. I got so much shit on my plate it's unbelievable.
First off, let me tell you I always disliked Slashdot for the simple fact it's so deplorably propaganda ridden that the task of finding an objective viewpoint is as perceivably difficult to human as the task of burying shit on a tin roof is to a cat. Second, I have categorically unraveled one of the greatest mysteries of the cosmos; I now know that my soul transcends because how else could someone be designed to suffer this much? I drove past a young man with earings and short hair and felt the longing so fimilar to myself. Incidentially, he was throwing a foot ball.
After hitting my old man up for some money (ain't unemployment totally depressing) I filled a Vicodin script (yes, people. I am reduced to Vicodin. Recollect the feeling of reward and happiness when I used to eat Norcos, Oxycodone 40 mg extended release and Methadose tablets in mass quantity -- compare it to this modest drug consumption and you have an unmatched feeling of barren, the mechanics for a real bad state of mind) and of course popped a few right before my meal arrives, never AFTER dinner. For the young ones out there busy dissecting Grandma's privacy for a few T3's, always take the pills in the following manner: Do not drink massive amounts of water before taking the pills; Always take the pills with an anti-histamine and/or 60 milligrams of dextromethorphan; Always take the pills with a tranquilizer such as Valium; And, lastly, take the pills before eating a meal, not after, for the better effect.
Another item of interest is the great feeling of sadness I'm in posession of. I feel overwhelmed when I become aware of the mental link with people in similar emotional predicaments. My friends, I wish you nothing but the best
So it occurs to me while sitting at my table -- why am I fucking lying down taking this bull shit? We need to get active, people... The more of us that stand up, the better off we are. We can't let things go on the way they are; we need to at least make our voice heard. In this case, silence is worse than even the most inflammatory statements.
This concludes the first instillment of the news hour. More to come, soon. I'm going to be doing some reviews and depositions that will make people think. I like the idea of re-taking a wholly inept website -- power to the people.
Vibrantly Yours,

than being forced to spend 11 days outdoors in the company of a bunch of dirty, nerdy hippies is being forced to spend 11 days outdoors in the company of a bunch of dirty, nerdy, EURO-hippies.
I mean, Europeans only bathe, like, 1/month as it is; can you imagine the foetid odor which will cling, napalm-like, to every man, woman and child for miles - oops, sorry, *kilometers* - downwind of the place?
OK It's definately a cool event, but it is reserved for a particular political leaning. I would say that the closest thing we have in the good ol' US is held in Mesquite TX every year. I'm too drunk to remember the name for sure but it might be QuakeCon.
My blog can kick your blog's ass
in scandinavia we have a long tradition of large parties
/jonas
dreamhack in sweden had 5000 attenders last winter
the gathering usually has about the same amount aswell, taking place in norway
lanparties isn't for nerds at all tho imho.
even if dreamhack and tg has roots in the demoscene
they are looked down upon nowadays as just another commercial event.
there are 2 other alternatives among the bigger events that still has some sort of respect
them being assembly in finland
and theparty in denmark
with stronger roots and better connection to the demoscene still today,
thus being accepted even by most hardcore people
there are a bunch of events all around europe aswell,
but for the really big stuff,
welcome to scandinavia
The Quake con held in Texas is the biggest multiplayer LAN event that I know of. The event has nearly doubled in size every year since its inception
This is not the first time I've seen a strange correlation between paintballers and computer geeks.
As an avid paintballer myself (off and on for ~8years), I love the sport. It has a slight touch of "war-like" without much possibility of getting seriously injured (if done safely). So does that mean geeks like me tend to be war-like wimps? Too much pent up frustration? The need to take competativeness to the next level?
I've never given it much thought actually....
I thought it was talking about Everquest 2
In Denmark, The Camp 2002 - a "do IT yourself" summer camp for nerds - started just yesterday and will last until next saturday.
Unselfish actions pay back better
although fully of hippies and homeless, the rainbow gathering might qualify...
The CPL holds an annual event with lots of cash and hardware prizes, game tournaments, you name it.
http://www..thecpl.com/
Many hardware or gaming review sites (especially the overclocker and FPS sites) should have links up now as there is a CPL event going on this weekend.
Actually, on an episode of "The Screen Savers" they did a thing about Burning Man, and apparently it's really wired, complete with Internet access. Seriously. If I could find the story, I'd post it to the list (if someone else would find it, that would help too).
The story would be somewhere at The Screen Savers website

"The main focus of the event is multiplayer gaming, but there will also be other activities, such as paintball."
Isn't paintball a multiplayer game? Would be boring in single-player mode...
The first event that pops into my mind as quite possibly the biggest lan party in North America is the Million Man Lan. It spans two cities with 2500 people housed in each city.
5000 > 1200.

I think I'll pass on this one -- and any other outdoor LAN parties for that matter. Moisture + extreme, fluctuating temps = dead computers.
Don't they have convention centers in europe?
"...a high-tech campground with full service, including a 100Mbit network and Internet access for everyone...home for up to 1200 computer enthusiasts...and other activities, such as paintball"
Do we have that in North America? Sure, It's called COLLEGE!
It's similar CampZone 2, but indoors...with beer.

Digital modes (i.e. PSK-31) are becomming more popular. Who said you couldn't try to play Quake against the group on the next mountain over.
With more and more levels of technologies when using computers these days, it's neat to see radios work from coast-to-coast with little more than a wire strung between trees. Geek campouts at its most basic.
But soft drinks seemed ridiculously expensive last time I was there. I'm used to buying a 0,5-L bottle for EUR 0.50 in both the U.S. and Greece, and it was 2-3x that in Holland...

Uh, I use my computer so that I don't have to interact face to face with people.
Much less smell their unwashed bodies out camping.
Geeks are so much more presentable in ASCII.
Opinions on the Twiddler2 hand-held keyboard?
This could prove interesting! FUADEC (Freeciv Users and Developers European Convention) is planned for the sat 3th of aug in Amsterdam. A bit of competition never hurts ;)
The Netherlands have a lot of these outdoor events and other huge-bandwidth lanparty's.

Outdoor events include Megabit, Campzone, NE2000, WAN and ofcourse HAL2001/HIP1997 (and so)
We had Takeover last year with Gigabit Internet Connectivity (which had about 350 mbit of traffic on it).
So if you truly want to have some fun come on to

That's not even close toTG02 try multiplying it by 4 and you're getting somewhere. TG02 had over 4,500 participants. And this is in a tiny little country with a total population of 4.7 million.
I'm surprised these types of LANs aren't held more often in the US. Or in Australia for that matter. I read a post previously wishing something about Australia and Sydney hosting a big LAN like Campzone2. You're telling me that a small country like Norway can have 4,500 participants at a LAN, and you don't think you can locate more than 1,200 gamers in a town like Sydney?
There's gotta be atleast 5 million in that city alone.
So what if it takes an hour of driving? I drive 4.5hrs just go get to TG02, it might take a while but damnit I'm going there!
Yeah, and next year they're gonna do a wireless telephone users convention.
Q: Can I bring a beamer?
A: Bringing your beamer is possible. Make sure you are not causing inconvenience to other visitors.
But will my Mercedes cause inconvenience?
(OKOK - 'Beamer' in Dutch actually is a video projector)
Sparks:Gadget:Beer Maker
b. Using soft drugs
Consuming soft drugs is allowed, as long you don't cause any inconvenience to other visitors. Obviously, each visitor is responsible for his own actions and therefore should comply with the legally allowed amount that a person may carry according Dutch Law.
Legal weed at a LAN party - get signing up guys :)
A 2-L bottle of coca cola costs around 0,90 - 1,00 in the US...

Emad.. your name sounds so sexy. I didn't get to see your hometown, Mustfuq, yet, but I'll probably do so soon.
I was wondering if you your relationship with Sean is an open one. If so, maybe we could meet and you know, do something together. While I wouldn't want to do the chocholate-cream thing, I'd love to have regular gay sex with you.
Please respond ASAP because my dick is sick of masturbating ^_^;;;;;
Have you hugged your moderator today?
I was there too and can attest to the inferno in the conference center. My CPU was running at 70C for four days!
I can't believe that I snagged 20GB of porno there. I would have got more but I ran out of space.
