Calling All Female Hackers

Re: Calling All Female Hackers

If I am to understand your reply correctly, you are telling me you are only posting links to your blog along with seemingly unrelated pictures so that you can avoid being flamed for doing the same thing elsewhere....? Bumping old threads with no new content is a rule violation, not a flame. Posting only links to your blog is clearly no new content.

Just as a friendly word of advice, you might want to brush up on the rules soon as you may be headed toward getting banned if you don't. Good luck and have a great day!

To avoid these kind of things:

Don't send reply, plz...

What people questioning what something is and you flaming them in return sounds like a good choice. While i can't police things im pretty sure if your not going to add anything constructive to an old post its best not to try to revive it. In this case you have revived many year old posts for what to post your blog in them? I'm not sure what if anything was constructively added.

Re: Calling All Female Hackers

Is there some particular reason you are posting links to your blog without adding content to threads all over the forums?

I vote for nematode. I know I don't want to be a unicorn. Farting rainbows all the time gets pretty damn old.

The tent in there... very graphic, no?
I love how I simply snipped a bit leaving the rest of Deviant's comment as it was and now everyone gets to enjoy the image I had when reading that comment the first time

Yeah. Thats what I thought I saw the first time too...was about to ask what he meant by "everyone else"? lol

Girls bring your friends next year please

I plan to. 2 or 3 of them actually... Do ya think defcon can handle a cluster of giggling girls? We will no doubt have loads of fun and laughter, as defcon seems to be one big party.

...if not I can leave them at home. hehe

As to the sexy / smart issue. I don't really see an issue at all:
smart == sexy

Of course I enjoy looking at a good looking girl in a great outfit too but at the end of the day I want to still be interested after I have said "hi" and she opens her mouth... must say that there was NO shortage of sexy women at Defcon this year... well there are never enough either...

Girls bring your friends next year please

Conversation over yumyums is a good way to get to know people. Who wants cheesecake?

Maybe we should all go out for lunch at the next DC. I think that would be awesome. ^.^

Re: Calling All Female Hackers

I'm not knowledgeable enough to be categorized as a hacker yet, but I'm trying to learn what I can. And I'm definitely a little geek. Anyways, I know how it is to not be able to really approach other chicks and to have absolutely nothing in common with them. If (some, not all) guys have a hard time accepting that a chick can be smart/geeky/hacker/gamer/whatever then other chicks, particularly of the bleach coated bimbo variety, definitely have a hard time dealing. I've literally met other chicks who were jealous of me, embarrassed to hang out with me, or who spread rumors about me just because they didn't like the fact that I'm smart and a geek. I've had cases where my mind got more attention from guys than the other chicks ASSets did, even though they were whoring for attention and I was just being a geek. I get nasty glares all the time from chicks who check out my husband (he's totally hot) then have their hopes bludgeoned when they realize I'm with him. Yah, I'm ugly, short, pasty, thin, and I don't dress for attention, but they have to realize that some guys value IQ over bra size. This is why I gave up trying to befriend other chicks. I haven't had any experiences meeting hacker/geek chicks in real life, just online. I'm sure I could be friends with some of you girls if we were to meet in real life. But this is the internet, and for all I know, everyone here is a unicorn or a nematode.

Re: Calling All Female Hackers

I do find it hard to initiate interactions with other 'non-geeky' females, because I never know what to talk about to them because I can't talk about children, or fashion or other things that people consider to be 'girly'. Then again by the same token, I can't really talk to non-geeky males. I don't have any idea what to talk to them about either, it just seems that most of the time it is easier to find group of geeky men than geeky women, but I could just be looking in the wrong places as I have an amazing group of smart women in the city I live in that I am lucky enough that get to call my friends - but I have a hard time finding that same sort of group of women when I am other places.

I'd love if you came and say hi to me at the next DEFCON, Faye. I promise that I am not smarter than you and I promise not to make you talk about shoes. ;)

Its a date. Only 295 days to go!

Re: Calling All Female Hackers

I hope this isnt hijacking the thread, but....The one thing I wish I could get over at defcon is my fear of other girls. I've always been the one girl in the "boy's club", so mingling with other females is hard for me... especially since I dont like fashion, clothes, shoes, or pretty much anything girly. So combine that with the fact that I know everyone at defcon is so much smarter than me, and the intimidation factor for interacting with other girls at defcon goes through the roof. In fact, I pretty much avoided the females at my last defcon...Do any other girls out there find it hard initiate interaction with another female?

Re: Calling All Female Hackers

Yeah probably. I really need to get over that. The ladies I actually did get to meet at defcon were cool as hell.

Nope just you.
