Title: no more DEF CON Post by: herzmeister on July 13, 2015, 01:23:59 PM The world's "biggest" "hacker" "conference" is no more.
http://defcon.ws/ Quote I believe that we are in a post-hacker world. wtf !?!?!? ??? yeah it's normal that you become more "reasonable" when you grow older, but not to that degree. The whole thing for me leaves a taste of trouble with officials / gag order / cease-and-desist. Quote Without the NSA data gathering programs, there would have already been a "Cyber 9/11". Unfortunately, I can't reveal the details to support this statement but, knowing my honestly and character, you'll have to take me at my word. ??? ??? ??? :D :D :D Quote "If you have nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear". That's a much derided quote but, honestly, you know it is true. You're parents and grandparents knew it was true. This is a, Christan-based, truism that is fundamental to our society. alright... this has gotta be a joke... and i almost fell for it... ???

Quote <!-- Get over it, this is a parody/joke. Apologies that I ripped the art from the actual Defcon page. DT is a really nice guy and he would never say these sorts of thing. Or would he? Nah, I'm sure he wouldn't. Have a good time at Defcon. See you at the Rio! --> Title: Re: no more DEF CON Post by: TECSHARE on July 13, 2015, 02:50:02 PM Please change the title it made me sad. We don't want an epidemic of nerd suicides.

But, when asked whether it was due to a gag order from law-enforcement, he said no comment. I wonder if DEF CON will actually become counter-intuitive, providing a place for law-enforcement to figure out what to stop next.

Didn't they dis-invite law enforcement recently in protest of the snowden thing?
