Go up one level in this thread


Do you want to have ferret?
Well, make an offer enough high to tempt even Jesus. After all this is, at last,
a matter of money. Every reason Bruce could give is valid inside a frame of
money. Say, if you would offer him 1 million dollars I bet he would sell it to
you no matter what. 100 hundred thousand would do the trick, also. It is not
clear if 10 thousand are enough; there we go into a shadowy area. Clearly one
thousand are not.
As much as he knows nobody will offer even those paltry 1 thousand, he stay
adamant waiting, perhaps, a better ocasion. If not a particular guy will do it,
a mass of purchaser could do it, but then you need something very big to show, a
great won tournamet, the defeat of Kasparov, anything ANd in a mass market, not
for the geek tribe here, that anyway is not conspicuous for having lot of money.
If not, he knows he would follow the sad luck of so many a programmer reduced to
receive a handful of cents for his genius and work of many years.
So, put your wallet where your mouth is or put your mouth in the closed box
where the wallet is....

Yeah, I, also, would like ferret in my hands.
