As far as the lying thing, I'm referring to the multiple people who have indicated that Walter O'Brien's claims are false. The people who have worked with him. The people who publish documentation that refute his claims. In order to believe his claims, you must then believe that the proof documents provided that contradict his comments are false. Thus, you really are in a position of believing his claims or believing theirsm either way, someone must be lying. Both things cannot be true.
You do realize anonymous coward is a generic name the site gives to people who comment without signing in. Kind of like saying "man, anonymous, you are sure talking a lot arong here!"
I'm sorry but someone should have given Mr. Masnick the biggest high five ever for this. I mean, he owned that comment so freaking hard!!! Read his rebuttal again and just bask in its brilliance. I wish I could see AJ's face as he closed his browser promising himself he would never return to the scene of the crime.
I did, and I believe Walter O'Brien is a genius, (Ignoring the fact that he has never produced an iota of evidence)
just like the many others that are out there. (2% of the population. You may be talking to some)
We're just taught that hackers are bad (Some people are taught this. These people are unaware of what white hats are. They are also not the target audience for this article but thank you for reading with us. We like to add folks to our group)
and that Geniuses are frauds (I have never heard this. I mean, Einstein was a genius. DaVinci was. Tesla definitely was a tortured one. People may argue that IQ tests don't necessarily capture true genius but that's not fraud)
which is not always the case. (Rarely is?)
The point is, had he said "I'm a pilot!" And then he has no license and as proof says GE flew missions in Iraq when there is no evidence he was in the army you may wish to be skeptical. Or are you calling everyone who disproves his assertions a liar? Unfortunately must be one or the other.
So since you aren't him, what is your intetest in keeping him rich?
Of course all besides the point. We've tried and tried to make sense but it seems you lack it.
One more time people. This is not about some TV show. If you read the article, hard is may be to read, you will see it is about the human being. It is in everyone's best interest to know true things about others. TV shows come and go and let's face it, no one knows how much he makes off the show, if anything.
He doesn't write the shows and he clearly doesn't know much about how tech works. There is no jealousy to be had. Just facts. If you don't like facts why did you look up a story about him? Oh. Hm. Caught in your own pointless web.
Merry Christmas to you too!
Oh and thank you for keeping this article at the top of Google searches. People are learning.
So,not for nothing but all of my comments have been to those who claim that this article is about the show. I know it can be confusing when reading the comments as they are displayed by default. View my comments in thread and perhaps it will help clarify who I've been addressing each time. Just saying... I've been saying he's a scam artist of a human being. Not making yourself look good attacking someone who's been agreeing with you the entire time.
Yep. You are an idiot. I do appreciate the misspelling of his last name. Nice touch. From here on out, every comment i see regarding the show will be responded to with, "You are an idiot." I hope you are proud.
OK. At this point you are officially stupid. The article and the comments regarding the article have been so incredibly clear in stating that this is not about the show. This is about the man claiming to be a tech expert and selling his services in, like, for realels life. You clearly have the fifth highest IQ ever recorded.
The number of people who come to a tech site and make the point that was made by the writer of a blog as if anyone is confused.
Yes, geniuses who all know how to click links, this douche has a TV show.
Now, let's go ahead and pretend he didn't. You would likely never had heard of him. But this site would have. And this site would have pilloried him just the same. You know what? When the show ends (fingers crossed) we may still see articles on this schmuck. Deal with it. And shut the hell up about a TV show.
I'm going to take the heat on this one. I couldn't help myself earlier and asked a question about the show. I apologize who heartedly. I gave them an inch. All it takes.
Oh.. Wait.. Let me see if this works...
If you see this message, you must post this article to your Facebook account five times in five days or you will die in some as yet decided naaty accident.
Can I reply to your reply? I feel like we have been trapped on an infinite loop!
Now, everyone... You are not allowed to state that the logic used in the show is flawed. That makes you a horrible human being. You should ensure you are going outside and spending time with your famioies instead of spending five minutes a day writing responses to inane statements.
I wish I didn't have this dysfunction that makes me feel the need to see accurate information. I'll begin accepting incorrect beliefs and add some new Facebook friends.
Yeah. You can't use wifi because the plane is going too fast. But that doesn't seem to bother them when they're plugging a computer into it. And why didn't they just hand the laptop up to the guy by the cord if we want to continue this insane line of thinking?
Is how much of the crazy ass stuff on the show is what he believes is reality. I admit to watching the show and it's gotten quite humorous. Something something old computers. Only one person can perform an update. Programmers are terrible it seems.
OK, let Mr stop talking about the show before I get another nutjob fired up.
This article does exactly what it should, digging (and it didn't even take a ton of research) into the claims made by this individual on his own web site.
Clearly, the only reason you are reading this is because you saw the guys name and got excited. Feel free to read all of the coents, some of them from former coworkers of his. Then you may understand why the article was written.
Feel free to complain about my method of reply as well.
