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.

    • /. is an American hosted site.
    • It is read all around the world
    • The event is not in America, it's in Europe
    • Residents more local to the event would find this more interesting, as they might want to join in if they have time, or sign up for the next event - unless you feel like a flight to Norway in order to participate?

    but it does give rise to childish comments.
