Interview: Ask John McAfee What You Will

Posted by samzenpus on from the ask-me-anything dept.

samzenpus (5) writes "Founder of the computer anti-virus company McAfee Associates, John McAfee gained world-wide attention eluding Belizean authorities in the jungle. Since we last sat down with John, he's been working on a device that blocks the government's ability to spy on PCs and mobile devices, been asked by the GOP to fix Obamacare, and has seen his last name removed from his old company. The rebranding garnered this response from McAfee: 'I am now everlastingly grateful to Intel for freeing me from this terrible association with the worst software on the planet. These are not my words, but the words of millions of irate users. ... My elation at Intel's decision is beyond words." John has agreed to answer your questions. As usual, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one per post."

    Why would anyone want to ask this dipshit anything? He's not even funny anymore.

    John:

    You've had the chance to travel (sometimes in extraordinary circumstances!) through some very interesting places, and I'm wondering if you have as a result any concrete advice or suggestions to give about intelligent traveling.

    - Do you have anything you'd consider unusual or otherwise notably every-day carry gear?
    - How do you keep documents safe / backed up / safe from prying eyes and fingers?
    - Are there places that, however adventurous you are, you avoid because you consider them too dangerous?

  3. So the questions is "Why were you so stupid ... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    So the questions are "Why were you so stupid as to live in Belize in the first place." "Were the drugs, underage hookers, and temporary deference to your moneyed power worth it?" etc.

    The point of these questions is not specific answers, but rather to tease out and expose the hypocrisy in moving out of the US to escape "evil" taxation and "repressive" morality laws only to go running back to the protection of Daddy Uncle Sam when the bullies in [insert backwater countryname here] are being mean to you!

    It's not fair! - Libertarians and Conservatives response to ANYTHING that requires some kind of adult behavior and understanding on their part.
