Many of the speakers were government hating paranoids, which was pretty funny. The lockpicking panel was great, as was social engineering. Thanks to Sean from Starbucks for the fun.
If anything, it was a good place to try out network sniffers. Won't people learn that accessing your POP account not over SSL is a bad idea?

Linux on the Mac? You're double-fucked.

Oh come on now, we all knew from the beginning that this open source thing wasn't going to fly.
As programmers, we know that you can optimize on three things: delivery time, peformance (speed), and features. Pick any two.:) Everything is a tradeoff.
Client: When can you have this project done? How much will it cost? Will it work?
Developer: You have 3 options: good, quick, and cheap. Pick two.
I was lucky enough to talk the boss into using Linux/Samba in place of a 2k server, and most of their files are on a share on the linux server. However, some users still keep their documents on their hard drive, usually in My Documents, but sometimes on the root of their C drive. So, I just wrote a Perl script to go to their box every night, grab their stuff, tar it, and bring it back to the server. Then, everything on the server is tarred and uploaded to an offsite FTP.
If only more pizza restaurants in my area had web sites. Soon enough, I won't even have to pick up the phone to make my food come to me! I wonder if the delivery guy will bring the pizza up to me at my computer. Hmm...
Funny, yes, but realistically, what riches are there to be mined on the moon? And if there are riches, they would have to be pretty valuable to justify throwing a rocket and a mining mission to the moon to collect them.

This is reminiscent of the pig latin encoder for song names that came out to slap the RIAA across the face with the DMCA when they had their grubby meathooks around Napster's neck.
Support for plain vanilla PC's is easy, you could pay high school geeks $10 an hour to fix them up. It's only when you get to laptops that things get tricky.
I think the poster was implying that only five CDs would be burned as music, the others would go to other data.

Yeah, a good 60% of a spindle of CD-R's goes to Linux ISOs, 20% to linux kernel updates and other large software, 10% to mp3 CDs, 5% to actual audio CDs, and 5% to buffer underruns.
If I am going to use commercial software, it means I gave up trying to find a similar product under the GPL. I have only come across this problem in several instances, all times when I needed something for a Windows network.
How to turn customers off: 1. Make them enter an e-mail address. 2. Make them fill out a form. See 1. 3. Make them wait for registration info. 4. Use a 30 day limit. 90 sounds better. 5. Make them do all that crap for software they didn't need or like anyhow. 6. Have you sales staff hound them nonstop by phone and e-mail and personal visits. (Will you folks at StorageSoft get the point?)
How to turn customers on: 1. 90 day or unlimited trial only with the stupid features turned off. 2. No registration crap. 3. Precise product description, no lies. 4. Screenshots, my god, screenshots. 5. Multiple fast download sites. I should be able to get 150k/sec at least. 6. No hunting for downloadable files. This goes for you too, Real. 7. Upfront licensing policies and prices. Tell me on your website how much I have to pay for 1, 10, or a site license. 8. I will call you if I want to buy it. Don't feel free to bother me during my lunch hour. Your voicemails get deleted, too. 9. If you must have my e-mail address, remember this: My inbox is a sacred shrine, none shall enter that are not worthy.

How many times can you possibly post in one article?
And get rid of that fscking plug sig!
I agree.

So your basic reasoning is that this is all a good thing because it's happening to people you don't care about.
Exactly!
