He's a high school kid. Let's cut him a little slack; I got way in over my head in high school when I put down a year's rent on a server from a guy running a ponzi scheme and nearly took down my clients with me.

If he were a Junior in college or Jason Nichols' age, we could expect him to know better.

And to be fair, the car dealership Lexus with the L reversed is no worse than Donald Trump's claim that he's been getting tens of thousands of letters from people across the country asking who he's going to endorse for president.

If it sounds to good to be true, than it is.

fair enough, but i am still not understanding how the heck he got the L backwards. if you take a picture of an L it should be oriented correctly. did he photoshop himself in?

 
Edmundo BravermanHoly shit. I'm somehow 2 handshakes away from this kid. What the fuck is wrong with MY circle of influence?
That's impressive, given that he's only got 42 connections.
I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

It didn't sound that bad at the time. This guy was offering me a server for $60/month or $550 if I paid a year in advance. So I paid a year in advance for the 20% discount.

Thinking I was all set, I started offering web hosting for $8/month or $80/year. A bunch of people signed up for my $80/year plan.

Then the guy who sold me the server went out of business- he'd collected $550 from a bunch of suckers like me and couldn't make the payments on his network connection. I had to spend a lot of lawnmowing money lining up a new server, but we got everyone migrated over without a hitch.

That was the last time I ever bought or made more than three months of service.
