Elvis @Home? Imagine millions of computers, all searching for Elvis. We're guaranteed to find him, and then we can end the rumors of his death by causing it.

I actually don't care either way how to say it. Years ago when I was Installing Linux no-one I knew cared. Some said it one way, others another. I'll actually say it both ways mattering on my mode/mood.
What bakes my noodle
Is when some corp Type Bandwagon $Grubber, who _HAS NEVER INSTALLED LINUX_ corrects me. Besides that call it what you will

Good Point. But that's sorta mean to politicians to group them with marketing. *grin*
After reading many more Posts I start to get the idea about whats up with this guy.I allways get a little touchy when Media takes the attitude of My this and we need to, in such a possessive tone.
On the bight side; * one can't control what he/she doesn't understand * DefCon is meant to be Fun + Informative, so if he left concerned and confused, then he missed the point!
So, in the meantime, we must find a way to require our hackers to be ethical. For me,this was the real message of DEF CON: dangerous knowledge and tools, in the hands of people without ethics, are dangerous. We need a Hippocratic Oath for hackers, and perhaps some Guardian Angels to sniff out the bad apples. And we really, really need to know whom we can trust. Otherwise, we have little hope of making the mean streets of the Internet safe for all of us.
Our hackers ?? As in the people we/I own or control ?? what a kook! Sorry but I had to say it...... End_Vent=true
