"Everyone whines about HFT, but don't realize that it actually does add liquidity"
HFT adds nothing, all these trades do is take from the muppets (clueless investors) and give to the huge financial houses. The muppets add wealth by going into perpetual debt in order to buy luxury goods on the high street. The money for which is 'loaned' by the self same financial houses. You're only worth as much debt as you can incur over your lifetime. Yes - they're is a metric for that too.

At all times have a third party independent potential witness present at all social occasions. This to provide corroboration against any future false accusations of harassment, sexual or otherwise. There may be persons patrolling the venue with the sole purpose of perceiving such harassment and trashing your reputation in the media. Remember if they'll target Shuttleworth they'll tarnish anyone. If only Deep Thought could saves us all from humorless single-issue fanatics.
If the dates weren't different this could be a description of certain previous incidents of 'harrasment' from other conventions. You attend a convention of sexually immature males and get hit on - well DOH. A quick perusal of the Readercon incident indicates that the fella involved one Rene Walling only wanted to apologize. Of course this was taken as a sign of further harrasment. From reading about previous incidents such as this you get the impression that some people prime function attending conventions is to seek out such 'harrasment'. It isn't the function of DEFCON to police peoples behavour. I would imagine that DEFCON would be better off without support from some people, either grow a thicker skin or grow up.

I disagree, while the GUI may be well polished, the underlying code is of poor quality, as it has most probably written by some contractor on an hourly rate. Quality control works like this. If it compiles, ship it and fix all the bugs in the next version...
What steps do the end users have to take for this malware to end up on their BlackBerrys. Do they have to visit a malicious website, open a malicious email attachment, enter an admin password? If so, isn't this the case of end users downloading and installing software from dubious sources. As such there is no known cure for end-user-stupidity...
This is equivalent to the Captain of the Titanic on being informed that they're Icebergs ahead starts a trading platform in icecube futures. They're all all fucking insane on Wall Street.
