"No, I'm not crazy, officer."

"Yes, this is a glass of my own urine."

"No, I'm not crazy, officer."

"No, you can't test it for illegal narcotics, officer."

 

[mjc0961]

I don't know that that is the case, I mean McAfee hasn't been involved with the company for 2 years

People still think Bill Gates is in charge at Microsoft. McAfee (the company) is definitely going to have some fallout from this because people are ridiculously stupid.

According to one news article he bought a million dollar patrol boat for the Belizean coast guard out of what he initially claimed to be philanthropy, but which he later admitted was a bribe to keep them from hassling his ferry business.

Sounds like the local constabulary has it in for him.

First this guy's responsible for shitty anti-virus software and now this?!

My faith.

It is lost.

 

[jamesbrown]

This isn't the first time this guy has run afoul of the Brazilian authorities. About six months ago, he wound up going on the run after police raided his house. http://www.alltechienews.com/posts/poor-john-mcafee-belize-police-arrested-the-antivirus-icon-and-killed-his-dog

I didn't know Brazil had annexed Belize.

(Man, this is the Strange Typos Thread or what)

Don't you mean "Man, is this the Strange Typos Thread, or what?"

I'm sorry...we have a theme going here : )

OT: Well, McAfee has been responsible for the murder of millions of processor cycles as well as memory bandwidth, so it figures that in time the man himself would do it. What a strange story...bath salts? Chemistry lab and weapons arsenal in Belize? I still want $100 million bucks, but this shit does happen to people with too much money overnight...

>>> Living in basement
>>> Make lots of money
>>> Feel like you can do anything
>>> Path 1: gain +15 intelligence and be mature
>>> Path 2: gain +15 Risk-Taking and do whatever you want

For people who've ALWAYS had money they grew up with the mentality of being able to whatever you want without ruining themselves; its similar to when you turn 18, do you A) go clubbing and hang with prostitutes or B) continue on with your life and be smart about restraint and choices

 

[faefrost]

So this guys story is like Breaking Bad in reverse? Become a gazillionaire, THEN start cooking up the illegal narcotics, bath salts and recreational household cleansers?

On top of all that it looks like he is wearing a white dress after Labor Day. Oh the shame!

 

[Iron Criterion]

Another victim McAfee has claimed, following the death of my laptop.

 

[Atmos Duality]

Eh, his antivirus software has ALWAYS sucked.
Still, should have stopped with the guns and started with the anger management.

 

[Risingblade]

In Belize of all places...

 

[Bullfrog1983]

He looks kinda like the dude from the Big Lebowski. Seems pretty nuts that he is trying to purify bath salts, a substance that makes people go crazy.

"McAfee changes name to Secure Highspeed Internet Extra Layered Defense"

God I sure hope so. McAfee is one of the most awkward names I've heard. How the hell do you pronounce that anyway?

I've had it installed on my computer for 3 years and I can't even say it's name.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

I don't know that that is the case, I mean McAfee hasn't been involved with the company for 2 years

Sort of like how McAfee, Inc. hasn't been associated with internet security. Ever.

 

[eternal-chaplain]

He must have quite the affinity for herbs to leave McAfee Inc. for that, that's all I can say.

 

[kburns10]

Yikes! Glad I use another anti-virus software. Reminds me of the guy who invented the Gizmondo and got into all that trouble shortly after.

 

[IamLEAM1983]

This is so weird. You made a fuckton of cash from selling an antivirus solution to particulars and enterprises alike? Well, then, let's take that fuckton of cash and go spend it on meth lab essentials and a small cache of weapons!

Yes, that's totally safe and guarantees a profit!

Captcha: wisdom of inglip
Yeah, I guess that's how things went. John McAffee was on the net two years ago, he had to fill in a Captcha, and Lord Inglip greeted him with "American Drug Lord".

McAffee decided to follow Lord Inglip's advice.

 

[Aaron Sylvester]

Hey I'm using McAfee on all my home PC's (full editions which we got for free from where I work), it's done a fine job for the last year : /

I don't think McAfee (i.e. this man) has any impact on the company, not for a while at least.

 

[HaraDaya]

Sounds like an alternate version of Breaking Bad.

 

[Monsterfurby]

McAfee drops pretense, admits he's not the Dude.

 

[TIMESWORDSMAN]

When it said "McAfee and Faull's most recent argument appears to have revolved around dogs", this is what I imagined:

Faull: Y'know, I think the German Shepard is the best kind of dog.

McAfee: FUCK YOU POMERANIANS! *BLAM*
