Can I have that 4th beer please?

1) Generic — hard, because there’s not enough generic names to go around
2) Famous — an idea I hadn’t thought of, but yes, pinocchio and marge hitler is pretty funny. Somehow I suspect it might lead to collisions though (hitler is a stronger signal than marge)
3) Constructed — “ponno and jib quona” or some other ridiculous combination of name-y words.

I may try all three.

There is code. Mail if ya want it.

In particular, we remember people we know much better than those we don’t, so a list of famous people or characters is probably a better source than the census. John and James and Jim and Jason and Joe and Joseph and Jack are to my mind more disparate than uncommon names like Dezzutti and Doornbos.

“Sting and Mary Einstein”
“Dante and Cher Bush”
“Pinocchio and Marge Hitler”
…and so on.

Though I think very few women are known for their first names… I may be wrong.

I think this guy is on to something, I just hope that he is not all theory and not code, otherwise all it is(and-ever-will-be is) a really nice idea. I hope he takes it from concept to prototype. I only wish I lived closer to Nevada so I could have gone.

As with Figgy, I too was wondering where one can find info of where this type of Hacker conventions are taking place as google usually reveals some convention that happend back in the 90s. Any tips, or links would seriously be appreciated, specially for the south region(Tx, Al, Ms, LA, MX, NM). Thanx.

And Crash – While the speaches them selfs are not “Technically” a hack or talking about one, It does fit into the relm of out of the norm technology rearrangement, thus giving it a hack status. Just my opinion. ..X..

I’m sure he gave away the last one later. (Fabienne gave me hers :-) This video also doesn’t have Dan drinking a mixture of Mickey’s and Cinnamon Toast Crunch which was his self-inflicted punishment for tunneling DNS over DNS.

Anyone here who can shed some light on what happened to it?

One of my questions though is, what happened to that last beer?

I installed Wicrawl after the last one, this one is downloading now (to get fullscreen, web-embedded google video has fullscreen ;) )

thanks

They are not really hacks. Bring back lazy days.
