The main rules site is currently down (until tomorrow whoo hoo) and the rules are being backed up on www.defcon.org

I am currently having issues getting to www.defcon.org as well (my DNS server sucks though so that could be the problem).

Anyway...here is a cache of the rules you can view until tomorrow:

Does the aps have to be open public nodes, or can they be located by other methods.

Read the rules for some insight

[dataworm]

Not sure, but it would surely break some Federal, State or City rules!

[converge]

would a warhovercraft of some build break contest rules? :)

actually... someone on a segway would be interesting, considering the time we spent in traffic last year.

hahah

Someone must have forgotten to put a filter in that gene pool.

[astcell]

I think his DNA got stranded when the tide receeded.

On that note, I went to the office restroom this morning and for the firswt time every we have blue water from one of those little disks. I saw the blue water and thought Blackwave had rinsed his hair here, surely he would be walking around somewhere maybe looking for new dye. It's pretty sorry when blue toilet water reminds me of BW!
