On an unrelated note, where might I find more about roll-starting a 123. That's just something that's good to know.

True, he made a post on Benzworld last month. Either way he is my Slashdot hero.

Normally the conversations on Slashdot are a lot better than that. Right now it looks like 4chan came out of their hole.

As a long time /. member(#112924) and very new here. I was thinking of the same thing about that article. I usually ignore 98% of the rantings below the original post. You could say I just read it for the articles. Besides his /. user id is nearly 600k members after I got there. Yes, I am an IT geek but a diesel mechanic in training.
