IT360° Conference & Expo
APRIL 8, 2009
Toronto, Canada
www.it360.ca

IT360° Presents Celebrity Keynote, Michael Calce aka MafiaBoy

Find out how he ground eBay, Amazon, CNN, Yahoo and E*Trade to a halt in “How I Cracked the Internet and Why it’s Still Broken.” In 2000, Calce, then 15 years-old, was apprehended after an investigation by the RCMP and FBI. For almost a decade Calce ignored requests for interviews and kept silent about the attacks. Using his experience as a cautionary tale, Calce will address IT360° attendees as he shares his story and offers his views on how hacking and Internet vulnerabilities have evolved since his crimes.

…your computer could be solving world problems!

Attention UFies! How many computers on your network sit idle? Hate to waste computing power? Want to get busy helping fix humanity’s most pressing issues?

Since November 2005 an ever growing team of UFies, led by the intrepid Didactylos, has been contributing their idle computer time to assist the World Community Grid in furthering this important humanitarian research.

Not to mention racking up the points and bragging rights – Team UserFriendly.Org is in the Top 25 of over 10,000 Teams!

World Community Grid uses grid technology to establish a permanent, flexible infrastructure that provides researchers with a readily available pool of computational power that can be used to solve problems plaguing humanity. Importantly, World Community Grid is easy and safe to use.

Please consider joining your fellow UFies in donating your unused computer cycles to this eminently worthwhile project. Along with the warm and fuzzy feelings, you could win a UserFriendly.Org/World Community Grid co-branded t-shirt or mug that you can proudly show off to your co-workers, friends, family and that weird guy down the street with all the cats.

Finally, as Team Leader Didactylos is fond of saying, "Please, come and help out. I really can't think of a better use for my spare CPU cycles, or yours either."

Join World Community Grid as part of Team UserFriendly.Org today!

- The first UF discussion board with a small, loyal and friendly following.
