Jeopardy?

[Voltage Spike]

It is now in the schedule. Leetest Link? (I'm guessing it is a takeoff of the Weakest Link.) I don't know. I hope, based on the positive title, that it isn't another "this is fun because we make fun of people".

Either way, I'm looking forward to it. I'm sure the fine folks running Defcon know what they're doing (otherwise I wouldn't be returning for more fun this year :D ).

that's what they WANT you to think!

[astcell]

They don't have to know everything more than you, they only have to know a little more than you. You will not be able to tell the difference.

[lil_freak]

You will not be able to tell the difference.

We hope this holds true :)

[highwizard]

We hope this holds true :)

We lose hacker jeopardy, but get the Leetest Link and a dunking booth... Fair trade off..

Why has no one mentioned a "Geek Dating Game"?

Bachelor #2: If I were a kernel, how would you compile me?

Geek dating? The concepts are diametrically opposed...

Why has no one mentioned a "Geek Dating Game"?

Bachelor #2: If I were a kernel, how would you compile me?

And how would the geek respond?
"Optimized for speed" and how would they be rewarded?
"Scratch Bachelor #2... too fast"

You know why computer scientists make such bad lovers?
1) They often try to do thing faster and then they say they have improved performance
2) Programmers, "Do it with bugs"

I like the idea of "leetest link." Hacker Jeopardy seemed a bit out of place at DC as the years marched on. The questions were more often like trivia and questions about movies than they were questions that might be answered by a hacker. Sure, there were exceptions to this, but most of the questions seemed to be targetted for people who have spent any amount of time using computers... not just hackers.

The concept of H.J. was nice for many years, but after so many years of the same thing, a new game may bring more interest than H.J. (Besides, people have often complained that the topics are the same from year-to-year, but now we have a new game and in effect, a new topic.)

After skipping the later years of H.J., I think I might actually go watch "Leetest Link" this year.

I was gonna suggest Hollywood squares.. But they couldnt do the squares thing, it would have to be done digitally using the projector..

Or "The Price is right" with pc hardware prices spanned out over the years..

Anyone watched the spinoffs that Howard Stern does.. some of those could be interesting..

"Win (Hosts Names) Money" a contestant and the host answer the same questions, and are timed, to see who answers the most correctly. Time being the tie breaker. Contestants bring a hot chick on, if the host wins the chick ends up naked, if the contestant wins, they get the prize.

Just some ideas, dont know how youd spice up the price is right, or hollywood squares, Id assume beer would be integrated in some fashion.

Bachelor #2: If I were a kernel, how would you compile me?

"Quickly. With lots of warnings, and maybe a few errors."

[Kry0NiK]

The new game is mentioned briefly. No details yet, but we hope you'll enjoy it.

You are the 1337'est lnk....goodbye!

Youve got to be fucking kidding me. Milli Vanilli's career outlasted that shitty game.

[alklloyd]

Hey, I've got an idea. How about Hacker Jepor...ok never mind.

I take it this means no Winn or Kevin?

Good idea, if you had more women volunteers at the con.

Highwiz may have a problem with that. :p

We would need prizes for the lucky couple.... Maybe a special suite at the AP with champagne, and a bookcase of bestselling geek reads....

Bach. #2: Hey baby! Let's get it on.....
Me: Get the hell off, can't you see i'm trying to read....


Of course I could always enlist HW to take care of the anticipated sex acts.
