Side note: My karma is 21, baby =)

Side side note: Posts like this are a good way to blow 21 karma.

hehe. I knew that.

By the way, how do you downmod?

I think it might take some time to hit. Or something? But it'll be a down arrow right underneath the up arrow.

You need to have a karma higher than 20 or 30 or something.

Yet another side note: Why are folks so merciless here? Sure, mod the post down to 0 points. But -13? That's just silly. Why are such low numbers allowed in the first place?

I only read starting at p. 294, but don't think Zuckerberg came off too badly in your recounting. He was impatient, aggressive, and calculated he could do the social-network thing better on his own... and it looks like he was right.

BTW, if want to milk your experience for attention, you could position yourself as "Mark Zuckerberg's Gary Kildall".

It gets weirder and weirder thinking about how he's the same guy I roomed with 7 years ago at summer camp.
