Would You Open Your Home To a Hacker – For Free?
coondoggie writes "What do you get when you mix access to Google's ultra-fast fiber network and old fashioned grass roots business ideas? Well, in this case you'd get someone living on your couch for free for three months. This week a group calling itself the 'Kansas City Hacker Homes' launched a program that calls on the good folks of Kansas City to open up their homes to entrepreneurs and developers who would live and work there for a period of three months, rent and utility free. They have to buy their own food."
This is America, chukco. We know what "Room and Board" is - that's what happens when they lock you up at Gitmo.
Really, please try and keep up.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Why do you always have to knock my Leiagram project?!
Should also have a Bathing Clause.
Free would be a huge step up! Since I use Windows I am, in fact, inviting hackers into my system every day and paying for the privilege.
Hell NO! They'd slow down my legal ISO torrents, rip off my 5TB music collection on the SAN and, if history is any guide, they'd start to smell after 3 days!
Hell No!
If they want to pay for the ISP and let me have 50% of their bandwidth, access to all their games, pron, and sports car, perhaps we can talk.
I'd need to kick out my 22 yr old, CS major, son to make room. Thinking about this a little more, it sounds like a great idea - I might get more of my bandwidth back after that other slacker is finally gone.
