    I assume you put me in the "clowns" category. That may or may not be true (I do try to post the occasional "humorous" item), but my post was in no way a slam of RM. He has chosen to post intricate details of his life here. That makes me assume he wants/needs commentary and discussion on...

    USB Fingerprint Readers

    The reviews of this thing aren't super. And the lit says NOT to log onto important sites with it. You have to wonder why it isn't very secure. Maybe the next generation will be better? Seems like a great idea, at least. If I have to use a thumbprint to log onto my machine and to log...

    Citigroup rogue trader lost $20m in gold / silver

    Kinda funny. If she'd MADE $20 mil, she'd be a "star" trader. If you screw up, you're a "rogue!" :p

    Who Can We Report This Guy To??

    I've reported them a few times. I've seen (what looks like) these same people do this for several years. Seems to be from a country in the former Soviet Union. Probably will be very difficult to stop. :mad:
