I&#8217;m sure people are downloaing, browsing, and VoIPing like crazy at a conference like <a href=\"http:\/\/conferences.oreillynet.com\/etech05\/\">ETech<\/a>.  I know they were at SCALE and we&#8217;re only 2 days.  ETech is  4.   <\/p>\n<p>I was actually thinking of heading down for the show, but I couldnt afford it (its still around $500~ even with the 65% student discount).  The talks look very interesting and I&#8217;m sure its worth the money, its just out of my budget.  Hopefully IT Conversations will podcast them.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BoingBoing is reporting that Slashdot has blocked access to their RSS feed for ETech attendees.
