Hello All;
My college is trying to talk me into going to Def Con this year (the
NSF is going to pay for it, of course.) I'm less than thrilled about
going to Las Vegas, NV at the end of July. Actually, I can't think of
anyplace I'd less rather go *any* time. (The good residents thereof
shouldn't take offense.)
So... what's the scoop on Def Con? I hear wildly conflicting stories
that it's 1) cutting edge computer security and 2) adolescent hackers
drinking beer and getting laid for the first time in 'Vegas. I
suppose that it could be both depending upon one's perspective.
Has anyone been to Def Con? What is your take on it? Does anyone
have any links to critical information? (I have
http://www.defcon.org/, of course.) How do I learn to speak CyberPunk
by then? Do I have to smoke pot or anything? I tried it in the '60s
and wasn't impressed.
Jones
