- Nice video quality
- TCP explanation may be really useful for a lot of beginners
- Dosbox segment was way to short - some options, setup and stuff would have been great
- Great that you guys didn't switch places all the time
- Basic Alice example was good, too

Summary: Best episode this season by far

Washing down a mouth full of candy with a bottle of beer. Darren, dude, you need help

Ok so i just watched the episode, a bit late then usual.
Cool TCP segment for those who havn't really gotten the hang of a TCP/IP package. Refreshed some of my old memories as well so that was nice.

What i got a bit fuzzed up about was the "Alice" thing.
Now i've been a programmer for atleast 5 years as a "professional" or w/e you wanna call it and i know it's not ment for me.
But the basic representation of programming in Alice was so faar way out there that even i got confused with Alice.
You still need to do your own functions and call them with events and so on.
And it was all so "blured" up (can't find a correct word for it). Really messy : /

Just me or anyone else think the same thing about Alice?

I actually considered going specifically to meet all you guys and take pictures. I also thought Darren's scheduled presentation sounded like it would be interesting (along with the guys doing one on building your own AK47). Nashville is only maybe 4 hours away from me (central Indiana). But, alas, I have farm critters who depend on me, and I couldn't find anyone to care for them for the weekend on such short notice

Maybe next time.

To bad sweden dosn't have the same wide spread culture of hackers/cracking/security as everywhere else.
It will be alot easier to gather up a few thousand people in the USA but here in sweden you'll just find a lot of wannabies from stockholm trying to "be the best" when in fact well they fail : /
In USA you'll atleast find a few who knows a thing or two : )

Dreamhack is the most "hard core" you can find in sweden, and well it's over populated with 14 year old kids playing CSS or WC3.. Oh wait, no they play wow these days :P

I was at Dream Hack this summer. 14 year old kids screaming "FAGS", "OMG YOU NEWB". It was horrific. WoW is currently the most popular game.
As a non gamer - DH sucked balls. The only good thing was the i-net connection speed. Something like 30GiB.

Well. Too bad a T/R ticket to Las Vegas is something like 18.000SEK.
