    No, I don't trust in god. He'll have to pay up front, like everybody else.

    Yeah. I distinctly remember one boring night while watching "Deep Space Nine" I was browsing a SMB share on a machine in a dorm room at UNC. To make a long story short, the idiot had taken videos of his (really cute, mind you) girlfriend posing in her high school cheerleading uniform and frigging herself. So of course, like any geek, I promptly downloaded the videos. Then I kept browsing, and came across his address book and email, which had the girlfriend's email address in it. So, like any geek, what did I do? Snapshooted jpegs off of them and emailed them back to the girl with "greetings from California." Not only was he a bastard to globally post the things in the first place, he was a bastard to not appreciate a hot girlfriend. Poor Melissa. Then again, I doubt their relationship lasted much longer either. :)
