Call for Papers: Chaos Communication Camp 2003
Aldert Hazenberg sent in this note about a Call for Papers: "Papers are being solicited for the second Camp of the Chaos Computer Club e.V., Germany, to be held near Berlin, Germany, on 7/8/9/10th August 2003. The Camp is intended to promote the interchange of technical, social and political ideas and concepts to find ways to make this world a little bit more friendly to intelligent beings."
Slashdot send many webservers into chaos all the time. Maybe the should attend... :P
Chaotic is about the right adjective to describe the trajectory of the disk arms on their poor web server.
As someone once said to Carl Segan, after his speach about searching for extraterastrial intelligance.
- "First lets see if we can find any Intelligance on Earth."
As of Postgres v6.2, time travel is no longer supported.
Truth, Justice, and Morgan Webb. I mean, dayum. *whistles*

Sticking "chaos" into a name is so 1990's.
Cunning Computer Consultants Call Chaos Computer Club Camps Crazy
Let's look at the facts about this seemingly innocuous meeting:
"Papers are being solicited for the second Camp of the Chaos Computer Club e.V., Germany, to be held near Berlin, Germany, on 7/8/9/10th August 2003."
'Camp of the Chaos Computer Club' can be reduced to the initialism 'CCCC'. You'll note it is 4-letters in length. The fact that 'NAZI' is also 4-letters in length strikes me as a bit too much of a coincident.
Just like 'HAL' in the movie 2001 was actually 'IBM' rolled back one letter, 'CCCC' is actually 'NAZI' if you roll the first 'C' forward 11 letters, the second 'C' back 2 letters, the third 'C' forward 23 letters and the last 'C' forward 6 letters.
11 - 2 + 23 + 6 = 28, i.e. 1928, the year the Nazi Party came to power in Germany.
And where does this so-called 'Computer Club' call home?
GERMANY!
The cat is out of the bag, chumps. We're onto you like hair on a gorilla.

Press release from the CCC:
The US military threatend to invade our camp and free all surpressed script kiddies for hacktivism being a form of terrorism and supporting Osama bin Laden.
"11 - 2 + 23 + 6 = 28, i.e. 1928"
(11 - 2) + (23 + 6) = 38
So that makes 9 + 29 = 38
