I'm sorry.

This blurb makes almost no sense. You picked the wrong sentence to copy for the story, ccparrish. Please drink more coffee before submitting a story.

Let me help:

A group of OpenBSD whitehat hackers are getting together in Calgary until May 20th with the goal of creating a free, state-of-the-art operating system that is entirely resilient to hacking, viruses and other cyberattacks.

Wow no publicity like good publicity

They are also hackers, capable of destroying e-mail accounts and wiping out hard drives with the click of a mouse.

Gee now they can put the whole city of calgary in a panic because the newspaper reporter doesn't understand that these hackers are programmers, not 31337 5kR1pT k1dd135. And plus if they were going to wipe out a hard drive or e-mail account, I doubt there would be a mouse involved. After seeing that bit I'm sure the guys interviewed for the article are real happy. Anyways, just my two pennies.
