"Then I reserved a business-class seat, sent a quick text message to my girlfriend telling her that I was leaving the country forever, and was off."

Brilliant.

Wow... good job man. My first experience with programming was QBasic, and that was about 16 years ago. I only did it for a couple of weeks but when I picked up on programming several years later as a young adult, it all came back to me - assigning variables from user inputs, printing on screen, if then else, all the basics. Good stuff!

We are supposed to care about privacy, yet people can't stop trying to find out who is the creator of bitcoins, even though this person clearly doesn't want that to be known. I think we are all naturally hypocritical beings or something.

"Why should the House of Saud govern, and not be replaced by a democracy?"

That is a very, very naive question tho, don't you think?

Metaphors like that only makes it even more confusing. It's a marketing scam, let's call it for what it is. Servers. They are servers.

I would probably go with auto-reply as soon as he post something, receive the text message and then edit the reply to something meaningful. Fun read! :)

It's not like I'm thinking "Ah, just remove that thing over there, move this little thing down a bit and maybe make that thing bigger." I'm thinking "What the hell am I actually looking at?". That's what difficult.

Hope you don't get offended, just being honest. Too many people are spending energy on useless things instead of working on real solutions to real problems. That is a problem.

You don't have to care about it, it was just pointed out for you a possible reason for the name. You can go on and care about the price, speed, etc now.
