I like this snipet from the article:

While the OpenBSD hackathon is a big event, it is eclipsed by others.

The A-list hacker event of the year takes place every summer in Las Vegas. Since 1993, some of the brightest and craftiest minds have gathered at a conference called DEFCON to mingle with like-minded people, drink alcohol and learn tips from old-school hackers.

Over the years, however, the "underground" reputation of DEFCON has disappeared. Attendees are increasingly suit-and-tie, computer-security professionals, gawkers, media and government officials.

"It's cheesy now," scoffs de Raadt. "Nothing happens there -- it's just a party."

My conference is better than your conference, yaar! Naannaa--booboo
