  - He was one of the characters Stern had on back in the day. I don't know when he stopped doing the show since I stopped listening when Stern left radio -- nm* - Krusty Feb 1, 15:15 2
    - His family asked him to stop going on. They thought it was embarrassing. I thought he seemed to enjoy it. -- nm - jnine Feb 1, 15:52 1
      - Yeah, I think he knew what he was doing and enjoyed the little bit of celebrity he got from the show. - Krusty Feb 1, 15:57

  - Forbes is forcing me to show ads to enter their site... - Will Hunting Feb 1, 14:58 5
    - Yes, they sort of do that. They're less obnoxious about it than some other sites I've seen. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 15:00 4
      - They actually won't let me in unless I turn off ad-blocker. Not sure how that's not 100% obnoxious. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 1, 15:00 3
        
        Oh, that didn't happen for me. It showed me a quote and counted down to opening the site. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 15:05

    - Doesn't it also show when you were walking? I thought mine did, I'll have to check. -- nm - Krusty Feb 1, 15:16 6

        True but it's more info than how many steps. I'm just saying, there's some tracking going on here and I don't like it. -- nm - Krusty Feb 1, 15:36
        
        They will? Honest question as well I guess being contrarian. Is the requirement for the expensive GPS equipped units? - JD Feb 1, 15:28 2
        
        Without the GPS they'll just know if and when you were walking around but not where. -- nm - Krusty Feb 1, 15:37
        
        Even with the GPS models, it's only on if you turn it on. -- nm - Reagen Feb 1, 15:34
