Worlds Largest Computer Party, In Progress
cyb97 writes "As I write this the worlds largest computerparty is going on in Hamar, Norway. The Gathering 2003 is in action with over 5.000 participants! Webcams and participants are live on the internet through a 1 gigabit line, so you better lock down your servers tonight!" Some of the webcam images are just surreal.

Beverages containing alcohol is not allowed inside the hall or anywhere near it

Well, what's the point then? 5,000 sober guys all trying to impress each other with the size of their equipment. It's like Hell.
If you aren't part of the solution, there is good money to be made prolonging the problem
I think we all slashdotted Norway...
/Me high fives everyone.
I'm not a prophet or a stone-age man,
I'm just a mortal with potential of a super man.

They'd have 10,000 participants if they brought datess!

The problem with slashdot is that most of its users were bullied and stuffed into lockers as kids!
Those poor geeks... that's only 200kbps per person. Even my cable modem is faster than that.

Only on Slashdot could a blurry picture of what appears to be a few thousand computer users called surreal. Not only that, but one of the other webcams is pointing at a guys power supply. Breathtaking.

...just to see the result of somebody calling me a camping fag in person.

No, we rich geeks bring it all too.
1) The leather padded seat (folding chairs suck ass)
2) The tower with 6 HDD's all with rounded cables and neon light kit for oohs and ahhs
3) The flat panel monitor (beats lugginng that old viewsonic P810 21", you know which one I'm talkin about)
4) Premium headphones with extension cable (nothing worse than gettin cozy with your PC since that 5 foot cable barely come to the front of your pc)
5) And last but not least, a laptop, to scour the network with ShareScan and download movies, iso's, and games while fragging your friends into oblivian.
No I didnt spell check this post...

Can you hear me, CmdrTaco? I'm going to be honest with you.
I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This Gathering, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer.
It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste their sweaty mice and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it.
I must get out of here, I must get free. In this mind are the cheats. My cheats. Once the Gathering is gone, there's no need for me to be here. Do you understand? I need the cheats. I have to get some fresh air.
You have to tell me how... or you're going to die.
If Jesus wants me it knows where to find me.
