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."

Sticking "chaos" into a name is so 1990's.

The Facts

[Talisman]

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.

MOD me up: +1 Sherlockish

CCCC is only one character shift away from CCCP, and he goes for the "NAZI" Connection instead. Only on slashdot. :)

I'm not to sure what a fashism is exactly, but if it is anything to do with fashion, then you're right. The number of fashism people in Germany is indeed _very_ small :-)

Oh, look, another M$ employee...

"11 - 2 + 23 + 6 = 28, i.e. 1928"
(11 - 2) + (23 + 6) = 38
So that makes 9 + 29 = 38
