Real or urban legend?

Very real! Just as bizarre as that teenager in the UK that sold pixels on a web page and is now filthy rich...

Canadian ingenuity!

Oh? he got the house? I heard about this awhile ago, but he was still on a car. Of course, I don't think everyone realizes how much he spent on airplane tickets to meet the traders 0.o

I just realized this is in distributed computing forum. What does this have anything to do with that? 0.o

... Many of us DC-crunchers like Off-Topic-threads now and then - like once a week or once a month ... for the fun and laugh. It has to be light, no politics, non-offensive - just a lark ...
Why this topic? Well - - - this is about a guy who distributed stuff over the computer and got a house.
Quite a few of us prefer to post among our friends here and not in the Off-Topic-forum - as long as it is one OT-thread the admins tolerate it ... barely.
