The crazy thing is, it is doing this based purely on pre programmed math. There are no sensors telling it to make any adjustments.

While coverage of the official Defcon badge has been pretty heavy, there was a badge that was far more exclusive and talked about way more. For the last ten years at Defcon a group of hackers known as Ninja Networks hosted an invitation-only party for selected attendees.
