The presentations from the 34th Chaos Communication Congress (34C3) are online now that the conference has concluded. The 34C3 took place from December 27 through December 30, this time in Leipzig. The presentations were in English or German, with translations available from one to the other.

Some presentations are more technical, others not so much. One of the more popular non-technical presentations was author Charlie Stross on Dude, you broke the Future!

    I think the CCC is well known enough not to need a lengthy introduction at the end of every post about it. Maybe in CNN or Fox, but not in tech sites, it's the largest group and the largest Congress of this kind in Europe. The post had clear context (it's a mostly tech Congress) and people who don't know about the Congress had ddg, goggle and the provided link to get more information about it. People who think their time is so valuable that consider finding out what the CCC is a waste of time will certainly not benefit from the post, even if the lengthy introduction was in the post itself. People who know the CCC or have enough curiosity to benefit from a post about a Congress would lose time if the lengthy introduction was in the post.
    But more importantly, this website would look like it was made for retards if posts had introductions about common acronyms.

    I strongly disagree. This conference has never been mentioned in a story on SN before. I googled. The snobbery is ridiculous. The conference is not that well-known (for starters, it's regional, a German thing). Just explain shit and drop the nasal whine.
