Def Con 0xB (Linux Journal) [LWN.net]

Here's the Darth Elmo Def Con Dispatch from Linux Journal. "Def Con, of course, is the biggest and best annual hacker convention in the US. Def Cons take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, and span a three-day weekend in early August or late July. The convention is attended by thousands of information security professionals, hackers of all shapes and UNIX affiliations, law enforcement officers both federal and not, and journalists both clueful and clueless. Def Con is part security convention, part family reunion, part flea market and 100% party. This year's Def Con, the eleventh, didn't disappoint in the fun or socializing departments, and it delivered pretty well on interesting ideas and discourse, too."
