HOPE Conference Gets Wozniak, Mitnick, Biafra

Emmanuel Goldstein writes "We've gone through all of our submissions, and selected nearly 70 talks and panels for the next HOPE conference in New York City, to be held from July 9th-11th. We have Steve Wozniak, Kevin Mitnick, and Jello Biafra as keynotes, and many more interesting talks and seminars, plus a round the clock hacker movie room and a lockpicking workshop." The official website explains: " This is a conference by, for, and about hackers on as many levels as we can come up with, ranging from the highly technical to the down to earth, from computers to phones, from serious to hilarious. And our doors are open to anyone interested in what the hacker world has to say." We previously ran a story on this conference a couple of months back, before full speaker details were available.

Sorry, just the idea of Woz as the opening act for the Dead Kennedys puts a smile on my face.

Round the clock hacker movie room?

Great! We can teach people to hack UNIX mainframes using 'ls' and 'rm'!

The only problem now is coming up with a reason for my boss to send me to a hacking conference.

I doubt he'd even want me to "improve my 1337 hax0ring skillz".

Jello?

That's not a name!!

Re:Jello?

name n.

1. A word or words by which an entity is designated and distinguished from others.

I think it would be hard to claim that the words Jello Biafra do not distinguish Eric from others.

Great - a hippie, a hacker, and a heretic.

Just one "H" short of bringing the discussion back to robot sheep.

I would expect that with a lock picking workshop.

I thought "With Woz and Mitnick, why do they need Biafra as keynote speaker?"

Then I realized "There's always room for jello."
