$200 per hour, not to shabby for a twelve year old.

And here I was building my WWII Pacific collection of plastic models.

Although in my defense - we didn't even have PC's in the home when I was 12 and Carter was Pres...... ;-)

He has some physical similarities with a young Bill Gates, don't you think ?

Maybe one day he will become one hehehe. Good job, by the way!

Hopefully, it's all tax free , too.

[citation][nom]FATAL STR1K3[/nom]So this kid solves a Mozilla bug for 3 g's AND donates to charities?Well don't I just feel like a waste of a life..[/citation]
Not a total waste; at least that comment made me smile. However, from here on out...mmmmm...

 

[husker]

I just noticed that on his desk he has the the same Chaos theory book by James Gleick that I have. Smart kid.

 

[falchard]

Now I think its time he learned the hard hard lesson of taxes. Say goodbye to $1000 Alex.

@ WhySoBluePandaBear... Try to think global my friend...'We' are not 'a country'.

Good on the young guy tho'!

 

[rohitbaran]

Good hearted and intelligent.

We need more jobs like this, that aren't shipped overseas....

Kids a G no doubt

 

[robochump]

Nerds = new cool kids. With the new world economy all of the knuckleheads will get into dead end jobs while high intelligence will get you in a career. Seems like this kid has a good head start!

 

[theshonen8899]

What a great kid.

 

[grieve]

Hats off to this kid.. good job! way ahead of me @12 for sure.

Imagine if he commited to finding MS issues... he could be rich in a few weeks.

 

[Gin Fushicho]

Why are there kids that do something more awesome in one week than all the things in my life put together? =(

Kids like this make me feel like crap, I'm 20 and have accomplished nothing.

What is your problem? The post you quoted was simply quoting from the movie Swingers, I do not understand him getting voted down or understand why you are asking him what his problem is simply because you didn't get the joke.

Kind of douchey.

Yes I have and I laughed. Some here take themselves way too seriously.

Have you noticed that he's using linux?

Awesome Kid. Congrats to you Alex. Well done. You have a great heart as I am an animal lover too. Now if we could just move past the lines that make up countries in this defragged world and become a large group of get along humans...now that would be tremendously cool. For now... enjoy that money Alex and thanks for being so thoughtful of the first 100 bucks. Kudos to you.

 

[warezme]

note CPU, generic box, open case panels, this kid is the real thing.

Um, Let's get global here... We need more folk like tis in the world?

No country is an island in the internet age.

Good for him! I wish him well.

[mr_tuel]

[citation][nom]amk09[/nom]it's okay because that kid has obviously never touched a girl[/citation]
I'm sure people said the same of Bill Gates
