The Setup: John McAfee

It's easy to hate on him now, but when you're 68 years old you just might wish you looked young and did badass shit like John McAfee.

&quot;My favorite real-time software is the XM153 remote control software that comes standard with the XM153 50 caliber machine gun. It is solid, never crashes, easy to use and easy to install.&quot;<p>If you don&#x27;t appreciate the genius of that answer you are dead inside.<p>BTW it&#x27;s obviously a fake.

Nice try Samsung. Not falling for any more of your &quot;viral&quot; commercials.

Why yes. My primary tool is the M1A1 Flamethrower. It does wonders for spreading my development philosophy which is my own variant of FDD; fear-driven development.

The funny thing is that is a fucking GSG-5 .22lr mockery of the HK MP5, with a fake suppressor attached to make it legal as a rifle (16&quot;), in his photo.<p>That&#x27;s like posing with a &quot;mac&quot; from fisher price.

John McAfee is crazy and any listening to his rants is a waste of time. I unfortunately read this one thinking it was actually a parody, but since there was no punchline, I realize now I&#x27;ve been suckered into another pointless article. I&#x27;m still in disbelief that bragging about a gun is actually coming from a 68 year old man(boy?).

Well that&#x27;s surreal. I took a moment to check if this was a parody, a la The Onion.

&quot;They allow me to solve 2nd order partial differential equations in my head and to spontaneously create 4 dimensional images of software structures that I can mentally manipulate.&quot;<p>Dude, teach me! But seriously, although the first boast is pretty much BS, I was surprised to learn that there is actually something called software visualization, albeit in 3D: <a href="http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~bieman/Pubs/StaplesBieman99.pdf" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cs.colostate.edu&#x2F;~bieman&#x2F;Pubs&#x2F;StaplesBieman99.pdf</a> If only the authors knew about the &quot;smart drugs&quot;!<p>Anybody know more about this topic?

&quot;primarily a semi-auto .22 rifle with a silencer. They are virtually completely silent and can pierce car doors and other light armor.&quot;<p>Complete and utter bullshit. They won&#x27;t penetrate a car doors, nor will they penetrate light armor. Conventional wisdom is that they will struggle to stop an adrenaline filled grown man, the combined experience of 100,000s of hunters says they won&#x27;t stop mid sized game.<p>And don&#x27;t start with &quot;but if you head shot&quot; nonsense.

John McAfee doesn&#x27;t deserve any more attention.

This is a shitty version of &quot;Breaking Bad&quot;...

It could be worse: At least he is not talking about the setup of his newest drug lab.

I swear, the things I&#x27;d do with that downvote button. [edit: I just realized this wasn&#x27;t actually written by Mr. McAfee]
