    Its not a real convention hangover unless your first words after getting up are "oh yea, I married that chick last night". Which is not likely given the male/female ratio at Defcon.

      correction: its not a *real* hangover unless the your first words after getting up are "oh yea, I married that *dude* last night"

      That is much more likely given the ratio and complete inability for male nerds to get along with members of the opposite sex...

    Is there another field that has as many useless acronyms and busswords as the IT industry?

    I mean, hell, you can't even describe it without USING A DAMNED ACRONYM.

    I only disagreed with a few points raised on it. For example, where it [an error occurred while processing this directive], it was kinda dumb.

    On the next page, the analisys [an error occurred while processing this directive], again, very dumb.

    Overall, a good article. But in the next time, I think we could see [an error occurred while processing this directive]
