    You can blame MIT for that. They wired up a Coke machine in one of their computer buildings to the network. It had a public IP address, so people could check and make sure it had the soda they wanted before going down 8 flights of stairs at 3 AM, through four security doors.

    You guys laugh, but I knew a couple of guys that actually wore "Tinfoil Hats/Caps" every day. It kept the government satellites from reading their mind. It was very very entertaining talking with them. Also fun.

    Thank you.....I'm about 95% certain I know the name of that mountain, too. Longs Peak, in Rocky Mtn. National Park(Colorado).

    You are correct. They are usually picked up off the streets, and paid $5-$10 to vote, funded by a Hungarian Billionaire. I've seen it, every election season.

    I propose the CT "Breaking Frugal" for @Fly2High, known to many of us as "Frugal Frank". Frank went to Pasteurs in NYC and spent $340 in soaps, and it was mentioned that he was breaking through the frugal barrier. The conversation occurred on the June 30 day focus thread around page 95 for reference.
