    Here on Slashdot if you spend $$$$$$$$ doing case/chair/screen/fridge modifications you are heralded as an amazing person. Everybody for the moment wants to be/act like you and have what you have. Yet the second anything is mentioned about people spending money friviously, be it a baloon trip around the world or a diamond ring for your girlfriend (yes a few slashdot readers have girlfriends, amazing isn't it) there is immediate backlash. Sure these mods are cool, but how are they any more "non-frugal" than some of the other topics? Is there something in the cool geek factor that I now, in my late 20's no longer have a grasp on?

      Because for the geeks something like this is not revered for its COST, but the geek skill to build it. A diamond, requires little knowledge or tweaking. You just dig a lot in the right place and sift carefully.

      I think the baloon trip is less clear. I think it's mostly a vocal few who arn't slightly interested, but I think it's mostly that the baloon trip is a LOT of money and because the press hasn't really focused on the technology in the baloon. Just him trying to make it

    And if you could use it to tell what she really wanted, you'd be heralded as the savior of mankind.
