.Com Millionaires: Where are they now?

Sivar writes "They came pitching gee-whiz business plans and painting visions of integrated platforms, enabling technologies, and wizardry beyond compare. They created billions in wealth that seemed built on--and that all too often evaporated into--thin air. More than thirty former .com millionaires, what they were, and what they are now are on Fortune.com. One on sabbatical, one awaiting a prison sentence, there are some interesting transitions some have had."

  2. I used to be a Dot Com Millionaire by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    It all started going down hill when I met this boy. He was a cute 12 year old who lived across the street from me. He had short blonde hair and a sweet smile. One day I went over to his house and asked if he'd like to earn a few bucks cutting my lawn. Since I was a dotcom millionaire, of course he said yes. He was outside for about a half hour before he came in and asked for a drink of water. I'm sorry but seeing that hot young sweaty boy without his shirt just did it for me and I had to whip out my dick and start beating off right there. To my surprise, he wasn't even startled and he asked if he could watch me beat off.

    Like I was going to pass this offer up? So I told him of course he could watch me. So he pulled down his pants revealing a lovely 5" cock with the slightest beginnings of peach fuzz on his crotch. I asked him if he had ever jerked off with another guy before since he seemed so used to it. He told me he jerks off a lot with his friends and sometimes they even such each other off. Since I was dying to have that cock of his in my mouth, I offered to suck him off on the spot. To my delight, he said yes without hesitation.

    So there I am, pants down, cock in hand, bobbing my head up and down on this 12 year old boy's cock, totally oblivious to the fact that the front door is still open and guess who walks in? The boy's fucking mother! Things turned bad pretty quick, but after some discussion with our lawyers and a huge payoff, I settled with his parents instead of going to court and getting the law involved. Ironically, the boy still e-mails me from time to time in secrecy and wants to hook up with me when he turns 18 in a few years. I can't wait.

    Should I go with a bow or transom mount motor?

    Bow mount motors offer very precise control. In the wind or on a river a bow mount motor will help you the most. The drawback of a bow mount motor is that most of them are more or less permanently mounted on your bow.

    Transom mount motors are more versatile and can be moved easily from boat to boat. On a small craft like a canoe or row boat they can be used as the primary source of power.

    How much thrust do I need?

    In general you want to have as much thrust as possible for the times when you run into wind and current. The rule of thumb in choosing thrust is to take the total weight of the loaded boat and divide it by 70. For example, if your boat with people and gear weighs a total of 3500 lbs you will then divide that by 70. That means that ideally you should have a motor with at least 50 lbs. of thrust.

    Motor Thrust Total Weight
    30 lbs 2100 lbs
    36 lbs 2520 lbs
    40 lbs 2800 lbs
    42 lbs 2940 lbs
    44 lbs 3080 lbs
    48 lbs 3360 lbs
    50 lbs 3500 lbs
    55 lbs 3850 lbs
    65 lbs 4550 lbs
    74 lbs 5180 lbs
    101 lbs 7070 lbs

    What type of steering should I choose?

    First of all there are several types of steering to choose from. There is hand control, foot control, remote control, and even voice activated. Yes, that's right - voice activated. Believe it or not.

    What it comes down to is your preferences and style of fishing. Some like the foot control because it allows for hands free control while fishing. While pulling in a big one you can maneuver your craft if necessary. If you are a no-frills type of person then hand control might be right for you. If you aren't a talker then I don't recommend a voice activated model. Fancy features aren't for everyone.

    What length of shaft do I need?

    First, that depends on whether you want a transom mounted motor or a bow mounted motor. If you go with a transom mounted motor then you need to know the distance from the transom to the waterline when your boat is loaded. You want to take that distance and add at least 20 inches to it. If there isn't a shaft in that size then round up. Let's say the distance is from the transom to the waterline is 10 inches. You then add 20 inches to that and the length of shaft you want is 30 inches.

    If you want a bow mounted motor then you take the length from the top of the bow (where the motor would be mounted) to the waterline when the boat is loaded. You then add 20 inches to that number and then round up to the next longest shaft if you have to. So, if the distance from the bow to the water is 15 inches then you will add 20 inches to that. You come up with 35 inches but find that there is no motor for the brand you want with a 35 inch shaft. Therefore, all you have to do is round up to the 36 inch shaft. Simple, right?

    Bow to Waterline Shaft Length
    0-10 inches 30 inches
    11-16 inches 36 inches
    17-22 inches 42 inches
    23-30 inches 50 inches
    31-34 inches 54 inches

    Battery chargers and testers
    We do recommend having a battery tester so that you know how much power is left in your battery. Many people also like to have a battery charger.
