The DefCon wireless is nowhere near as scary as people make it out to be. Making people believe that something is scary is part of the fun of it for those of us that help run the con.

Currently at con, on my laptop with OpenVPN and tethered to my phone because the DefCon wireless is overloaded and not handing out an IP address.

Damn sorry I'm missing it this year, but I'd be useless for a sold 2 days after it.

I can't remember using the internet much at DEFCON. It was pretty solid partying. Now CCC, that's a different story...
