Has anyone else noticed that he has a copy of Chaos on his desk? I read that post-college and had a hard time with it lol.

I don't understand why anyone here would call someone else out for being a geek.

Isn't coming to this website proof that you are also indeed a geek?

This boy makes me feel positively stupid. Hoping to see him become a successful person in the future, because he certainly has the ability.

I can see this happening with Apple's products too. A guy sends a bug report to Apple. Steve sends a cheque to the guy to shut him up.

Good for him, he deserves the acclaim and the money. His picture ought to be plastered on every middle/high school bulletin board.

Why is it that when people get a little bit of cash they feel the need to give it away? I wish I had so much money I could just hand it out. In a couple years he will be saying "boy I wish I still had that $100"...screw charities...if they need money they need to supply it themselves or just don't start the thing in the first place. Can you tell I am sick of people calling and knocking on my door asking for money?

$100 to his neighbor's nonprofit organization of Unconditional Love Animal Rescue - That's the very best he do and all of us should.
