Trade: Linux lessons 4 420 (Brooklyn) or Jail is Fun!

Been a while I’ve been busy

Great minds think a like.
Moved here and no 420 friends.
I know Linux/Unix inside and out, just no 420.

I can picture this session now “Dude <inhale> then you unzip and fsck”

Adult Website Seeks Content Moderator(s)

“Drupal based adult website seeks person(s) to rate and review content for accuracy. We maintain a site containing links to free online adult material. Our goal is to ensure the highest quality user experience. We are currently seeking moderators to ensure that our text link descriptions match the content that is being linked to.”

Not really an idiot.  I do have a mental image of folks looking at a screen checking to see if things are really 9” or using a protractor and compass to verify cup size.

Craigslist emailer program needed Or Spam On The Rocks

“I’m looking for a program that will collect and email thru a 3rd party server, all cars-xxxxxxxxx@craigslist.org emails. Not looking to spend more than $50, will consider more for a fully automated setup that will email all current and new listings, without exposing an email address from my domain.”

MWAHAHAHAHAH!

I have my evil plan:

1) Pay a sucker 50 bucks to setup a spamming platform

2) Sent Spam

3) ???

4) Profit!

Show me how to crack WEP or I'm too Dumb to Figure Out Google

“Looking for Hackers capable of cracking wep. Need this done ASAP!”

In the time you posed this ad, you too could type “Crack Wep” into google and choose any of the thousands of articles and videos there are on the topic.  Oh, if your neighbor finally locked down his router, it’s time to spring for your own connection.

Repair!!!! or A little piece of my harddrive

I have a Dell Inspiron 1420 laptop that needs to be assembled from scratch. I have all the parts and screws but just need someone to put it together. I need a professional to do it. I don’t have much money to spare which is why I will pay 20.00 for the job because I’m pretty sure it will not take more than one hour to assemble.

Let me get this straight.  You’ve taken apart your laptop, expect a “professional” to come to you and reassemble it.  You, who knows nothing about comptuers, (if you did you won’t be posting this) are “pretty sure” this will only take an hour.  You’ve determined that an IT professional is only worth $20.00 / hr.  I’m curious do you treat your plumber and electrician this way?  Have you ever said, “Dr. Jones, it only took you 15 mis to diagnose me, so I’ll pay you $8.00”?

For the record if this person said “All I can afford is 20.00”, I’d understand and have some sympathy.  The economy sucks, no one has money, I get it.

Ticket Dating Website - Looking for a Partner or Join Me In Crazytown

OK, This one is a little wacky a little nutty, and might require me to break it down a bit… Bring on the Snark!

“I owned the web site ibidfree.com Americas #1 FREE Auction Web Site but was forced to sell it because the people i hired to build a web site from the ground up put it on a template and when i was ranking 4 on Googles in the first year because i had people holding ibidfree.com signs outside of the Today Show and handing out flyers and live events in NY,CT,MA the site just kept crashing because we had too much traffic for a cheap template so needless to say i had to sell the whole idea.”

It’s a shame the number of sites that had to be sold because of having too much load.  Digg and Ebay must’ve gone through any number of owners until they were stable.  Don’t get me started on twitter, they must go through a new owner every week.

I am curious.. why did you keep up your gurrella marketing campaign if you were having performance issues?

“I’m also the guy who came up with the idea for Stubhub.com the original idea was Priceyourseats.com but i told them my idea and they went ahead and created Stubhub.com.”

You know, the same thing happened to me.  I was sitting in a bar with these guys named ev and biz dicussing a 140 character a message blogging system…  Next thing I know Twitter arrives.

The main thing I learned is never, ever disucss your ideas with someone else unless there’s an NDA in place.  I’m sure you feel the same way…..

“Now i have another idea that i think will be very big This idea is to hook people up on dates to live events Concerts, Sports, Theater, Movies anything with a ticket involved. Take out the Dinner Date and replace it with a Live Event with people around and if you like the person then go to Dinner. “

…. Hmmm yeah, right I see you learn from your mistakes.

Help Me Stalk

“Looking for a recent graduate of NYU to help me join Facebook’s NYU network, such that I can better flirt with NYU girls. Yes, Facebook only lets you assign your e-mail address to one account, but even if you’ve signed up for your own Facebook account, don’t worry — you can get another NYU e-mail address! All you need to do is register for an NYU alumni e-mail account (www.nyu.edu/alumni/benefits/email.shtml), I add that e-mail address to my profile, and then you forward me the confirmation e-mail that Facebook sends you. $20 by PayPal to whomever wants to help. :)”

Why yes I’d love to have people think that you’re me so the police show up at my door when you abuse some poor girl and NYU says that email belongs to me.  Totally worth 20 bucks!
