LiveSecurity writes "Contests involving Wireless Access Points have been a staple of Defcon for a few years now. This year at Defcon 12, three reporters from WatchGuard Technologies followed contestants in the Running Man mini-contest. Five teams had one hour to find a roving, low-power AP serving up a picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Add hundreds of hackers, 104-degree F. desert heat, and stir. The report on WatchGuard's Web site is officially sanctioned by the contest's designer, Frank Thornton, who mirrors the story. Long but good geeky fun!"

I just gotta say, this is the lamest thing I've ever heard of. Is this what happens to people when they don't have sex for extremely long periods of time?

Come on Slashdotters, we should be ashamed that this event is being billed as the kind of dumb-ass shit that most geeks would enjoy doing.
