Re: DefCon 101

I guess one can only be surprised and worried when the stotan wizard is put in charge of an event. I myself am personally looking forward to it. =)

Re: DefCon 101

* Will DC101 include new content, which is different from last year?

Yes, but I'm not ready to release those details yet.

* Will people that attended previous DC101 learn something new this year that they have not seen before?

I think repeat attendees take something new away every year. More so, it will happen this year as well...As for the why? See above.

Ehh, depends on who you ask, some people count from zero, those people are intentionally picking a fight.

Depends on the way you look at it. Many will say that Defcon 101 is the start of Defcon for them so that makes it on Day 1.

Others who have been working on setting up for a few days before many of us get there will say its on Day 2, 3, or more.

Either way do not miss it!

On the Thursday before. After you get your badge, but before any "talks"

Re: DefCon 101

What does one have to do to get one of these survival kits other than showing up to DEFCON 101 (which I will be attending)?

Having a good question to ask will usually help in getting a prize, as will participating in one of our "mini-games" during the event.

Also, t-shirts are thrown out to the audience throughout the happenings.

Re: DefCon 101

All the speakers have now confirmed.

Someone who was a first time DefCon attendee last year, but went on to Win a contest will be one of the speakers on stage, so that should present a very interesting perspective. When I met him before the start of Con last year he was planning spending his time at DefCon just "going to the talks".

Since it is DefCon 20 besides throwing out T-shirts this year, I'll be giving away some Exclusive DefCon Survival Kits. I may post the contents of the Survival Kits before hand or I may have them be a surprise.

Re: DefCon 101

A fun time will be had by all. This is one of the few "talks" that I always make a point of attending.

I'll feed you some information about the Wireless Village and what is planned for this year as plans finalize.

Re: DefCon 101

Not just with DEFCON but computer enthusiasts in general seem to usually be one extreme or another. It's a phenomenon!

If you are going to start throwing/catapulting T-shirts into the hysetrical crowd again, can you make sure you fire more of the size that most defcon attendees tend to be ;-)

I wear a size medium or small.. Doesn't everyone?

Looking forward to it, DC101 is always full of great information (for both new and old attendees) and a great way to begin the weekend!

If it's half as enjoyable as the forum meet you put on last year, then I take that as a very nice compliment.

Scavenger Hunt is looking forward to being a part of 101 again. And this year, it will be something....yea...that's a word.
