Entrapment???

[mkop]

Let's get all the hackers in one place all at once...

Why, damnit?

[keiferb]

Every time something cool like this comes up, it's several thousand miles away from me. Stateside we've got convention after convention, but all the fun stuff is in Europe. Beer hikes, cartoon sheep over WiFi... geez. Time to change my citizenship.

Don't forget that marijuana is legal in the Netherlands - I'm fairly certain half the coders there will be floatin'..

Or you could just give us a hint, you know.

WTF?

[Anonymous Coward]

The story says: "For those unfamiliar with WhatTheHack or one of its predecessors (HAL, HEU, HIP), please visit whatthehack.org." And the website has only one sentence: "Sorry, but we're working hard on making a real website. At this moment you can subscribe to to the announce mailinglist to hear the news when it's available." So the question is: what the hell is it??? Is it something about hacking or cracking? Is it a joke to not say anything about it at all, only to make people ask "what the heck?" Could someone please explain WTF is this story about and why it is so important to be on the frontpage? Thanks.

really helpful

[Anonymous Coward]

Oh yes, the website is really helpful: [WTHFlyer.jpg] Sorry, but we're working hard on making a real website. At this moment you can subscribe to to the announce mailinglist to hear the news when it's available

Europe, apparently

[Marxist Hacker 42]

Now if we could only do this in the United States--nah, that would just make the DHS jumpy.

Much more informations about the former events

[Anonymous Coward]

The website for the new event is quite boring, yes. But just have a look at www.hal2001.org or hal2001.drno.de - they will give you a lot of information what was going on the last time - and it will be nearby the same this year. I am really looking forward to this event. fh.

What the Hack?

this is what I said when I ran an unpatched XP box on the internet after a few minutes...

Some Links

[handverbrennung]

at http://www.hal2001.nl/ there are some links to the older camps. Its about camping, hacking, hearing speakers, getting internet, and all that stuff. Also there was an own radio sattion and an own phone network (for wireless dect/gap phonesas well) as wellt.(at the last ccc canmp there was also an own gsm node from a big german provider, for having a better connetion). regards, enno

So you couldn't wait scooping up until the ppls from WTH had a decent web site up? Now that /. has posted this story in developers, chances are lower we'll get some good attention once the web site is actually online. Man you're just stupid submitting this story this early.
