Nah, today it's more like the BSA nightmareOriginally posted by Dr Mordrid
Of course these days it's more like an FBI/CIA/NSA recruiting drive than an old-style hackers convention
Besides, I think today most of the people attending such parties are (l/g)amers... They know how to frag, but they don't know too much about the inner workings of their boxes. Of course there is the occasional demo coder or TCP/IP guru but most of them are there for the games - as well as the massive bandwidth for w*rez...
Traffic analysis chart? 500-800 Mbps... My ADSL could do that
The webcam is also nice and flashy

AH! Swedish! I can't read Swedish well. Too bad I'm 7500 km away.
I've seen pictures of Quakecon that rival this. THe last one was so big they held it in a basketball stadium.
