    Looks like Woz has come out of hibernation again. Two stories in one day? Must be the spring weather or something.

  3. Mitnick's restrictions by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Funny

    Due to conditions of release placed on him by the federal government, Mitnick is still prevented from touching any real computers. This is why he is expected to bring an Apple Macintosh to the event.

    they specified which planet. At mostconferences it takes me a while to figure out which planet they are talking about.

  7. That did not go over very well by AtariAmarok · · Score: 3, Funny
    "I'd rather hear from Gates or Darl McBride"

    That did not go over very well. The HOPE planners rejected these alternatives after Gates insisted on a meet and greet in which he "embraced and extended" everyone, and Darl insisted on charging each attendee $699 just to hear the keynote.

    I love the Woz but why the heck would anyone want to listen to Kevin Mitnick? If he's as informative on computer security as
    his book, his whole speech will be about how to lie to brain dead receptionists. Why won't this guy go away and get a real job....

    I would have to say he has socially engineered you into an unusually strong opinion of him.
