that or steal other people's stuff, but who's counting? :P

those botnets can be sold for big bucks. :P

Nothing on my LinkedIn profile says I am a coding ninja. I don't even think I've clicked on a code monkey-type job, either. :P

Wow, my IBM T43 has a very loud processor fan. Given how old that damn thing is, it's probably not worth replacing, even though they can be had for minimal cost on eBay.
