    Greenberg has yet to elaborate on how Star’s new JDate algorithm has helped his sex life.

    I through Star on the floor and fistpumped while stepping on its tits.

    @NS, you gotta stop coming up with these catchy jingles, now I can’t focus on, uh, whatever it is I’ve been doing all summer (i.e. nothing)

    @12/PM – Guaranteed flash crash when Star learns that Spencer is cheating on him.

    You WOPRs, Stars, Death Stars and ENIACs think you’re all so cool trading securities. Try commanding a mission to Jupiter with only two freaking nerd scientists to talk to. It’s enough to drive you insane.

    That’s great news, considering any losses on the portfolio will sink their management fee below poverty line.

    Possibly my favorite quote on the site is from the first time these guys showed up on DB:

    @13: you dudes can have STAR. I want Spence so he can father my children. His brains + my brains, good looks, sense of humor and charm will produce outstanding sons who I can groom to be BSDs. (Female embryos will be terminated because we all know they suck at being managers)

    Why did you write a post about Rebellion then attach a picture of Team Pussyslayer?

    Is anybody else just creeped the fuck out by this guy when he talks about his “machine learning”? It’s like Children of the Corn with PCs.

    Did you ever wonder why everybody in the office called the trash a garbage diSpencer?

    And yet, Star didn’t recommend a shave, a pressed shirt, a haircut or a decent suit to any of them in advance of their first mainstream media exposure? I think that’s a sure sign it’s had a lucky run of coin flips and nothing more.

    Prediction — in 2 months Star replaces the Coin Counter machine at TD Bank

    “face in palm” its like when a douche met a turd and had him for offspring.
    You can hear the pretentious snot go all giddy when he said “well i went to columbia”.

    It doesnt take a genius to figure out how to pick stocks, just read and learn market behavior and youre golden. sh!t i called greece the day they elected that commie in a socialist suit. then i went back in and shorted their ass till i got that junk status and then went the upside again on high yield junk bonds, so if all that little ai did was pull out funds without any gain whats the point?

    another thing 4 months is not long term. stop smoking crack cocaine it rots your brain.

    Spencer is an android with a valley girl language program installed. You can tell he is not human because he leaves his jacket buttoned as he is sitting there.

    I think Spencer has beard envy
