    "Lots of other neat hacks on his Webpage as well." These are not hacks you morons, they are a time honored tradition called NIGGER RIGGING! You politically challenged shits know it as Afro-Engineering. Now you Slashdot shits are trying to elevate nigger rigging to the status of hacking. Shame on you clueless fucks!
