Save the money and retire early. Thats the only way the money is ever worth it for 100 hours weeks or whatever.

I worked for a search engine back before the "internet bubble" burst and the napster decision was reached. We were at the ready to rip everything to mp3s on servers then boom! No more Napster. No more company. It was called StreamSearch.com. They blew through 60 million in venture capital in about a year. Good times!

Links to these classics would be appreciated. The wiki isn't well maintained ...

Agreed. I don't think I was around for these legends. I joined at the height of TFP but that was really it. Now that Alky is gone, I don't really get trolled too much anymore. Mayne is okay, but he's not as egotistical and confrontational like Alky.

IIRC the at-wiki.com is dead or should be. The original caretakers never did a proper backup, most of the original content is gone forever.

How can you leave PAB out of this list?!?!!

PAB is actually a cool guy, hopefully he's matured since then and is doing well.

So, any update on this story?

If pcslookout still worked at Google since 2007, he could be a millionaire from his stock options.

did you also have strippers, coke, and champagne waiting in the closet ahead of the news?

:hmm:

did you guys remember to let the strippers out after the sad news?
