Well that's fairly obvious (Dan is twisted enough, but he is too technical).

See? Strike 1 for Dan not being into Kibology.

You may be right. Kibologists tend to worship Kibo as a god. To attempt to immitate Kibo may be considered blasphemous.

But what if Dan did not claim equal standing with Kibo? What if Dan claimed greater standing than Kibo? And what if Dan was right? (Perhaps we are increasing the Dan-Kaminski-bait.)

Didn't Kibo also claim for years that he wasn't using any automated tools...?

I am not a kibologist, so I have no idea.

I am intrigued by these agents of which you speak. How does one become an Agent of Dan? Why does one become an Agent of Dan? And, most pressing, do AoDs get Guinness without answering questions (the answer may be related to the last question)?

I am really not sure, but one of the agents may see him at least one a week in real life. If you asked them if they were an agent, they would probably deny it it too. They would probably kick my ass if I accused them of being an agent, so i will not give up any usernames.

The "agents" I wrote about are actually people, not bots or automated search tools.

I assume the contest money is coming from the vendors performing the presentations. Are they going to be okay with the mocking, derisive nature of the contest? Is there any way to make sure that those giving the presentations will be light-hearted enough to take a few jeers?

(The above was post-copied back into the thread for organizers to answer.)

"He" below refers to Dan K:

I didn't know that he was such a devout member of the Church of Kibology. I suppose he now has the bandwidth to support a Kibo-approved signature/novel, too ... let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Let's see what happens. :-)

Who is susceptible to buzzword overflow errors?

Anyone that buys a product because of the buzzwords.
Unlike conventional overflow with arbitrary code injection to stack with execution of same code, I know of only one instruction in a buzzword overflow: "buy our product"

Is, "buzzword overflow," an actual buzzword? Maybe.

Are there any dynamic overflow protection systems (bascule seems to believe crack might work)?

Bascule? Crack? Hm. I'm not sure those two words "go together." Bascule?
Crank is known to help people stay awake for long periods of time.

Can Dan Kamininski find a new way to quickly scan large crowds for vulnerable people?

I sense an attempt to steer this into another patented TheCotMan pseudo-technical discussion.

If we start to move off-topic from the point of the thread, I'll split out that part of discussion, to community talk.
