This interview is great, tho I agree so of the questions asked are a bit personal...

"Explain your involvelment in the whole paid-to-surf madness"

Xenophage · 02-11-2005, 12:36 PM

3. I understand a major record label sued you, Can you Discuss and how much was it for and what was the result?

I ran a site called mp3board around the time the whole napster thing went down. We got caught up in the frenzy.

http://www.metroactive.com/papers/cr.../mp3-0028.html

Here is an article about it. The terms of my settlement do not allow me to expand further. Lets just say it was long and painfull I never want to go through any of that again. It taught me all about the legal system and has formed a basis from which i conduct business and decisions I make when getting into new ventures.

4. How can I make money just surfing the web?

This is prolly about www.Cashsurfers.com we did a pay to surf the net thing in 1999 - 2000 that was our big non adult success. It was like All Advantage and it was very nice, if I had started it 6 months sooner I would be silly rich. but dot com collpased and money dried up. At the top we were doing 85 million banner views a day, with 1.5 million registered users. www.Friendsurfer.com is the latest round that hs come out of that company and is a social networkign site like friendster and myspace.. It does pretty good for a non adult company.

Xenophage · 02-11-2005, 01:25 PM

5. What's it like growing up on a bus with no fixed address?

not too bad actually when your real young you dont remember, and as you get a bit older if you dont knwo whats out ther then how can you want for it

I did not have a tv full time till i was 13 which meant i read a lot of books. I learned different things than a lot of people growing up in hippyville. Thouggh when I was like 6 I was telling my mom how was gonna be a millionaire and take care of her when i got older. which i have

I wanted to be a scientist then though. Mix cemicals and blow shit up

But computers are good too.. I also had a name when i was a kid i would run around my grandparents house with my underwear on my head and I was COMPUTER SUPER LARS ... mind you this was the 70s and no one had PC's yet computers where still science fiction but for the few lucky guys who got to do punch cards

When you hear the name and you see the guy you are not right away tempted to talk to him cause you think here`s another guy that believes too much in himself... But the minute you have the chance to talk with him, you make him one of your favorite person and friend.
Working in this biz would be so much better if they were more Lars around!

Yes I am giving him lots of credit but I am definitely not sucking up to him. Ask anyone that knows him and they will tell you the same thing I just said.

Good one Sleazy! Lars you damn little petit penis!

tranza · 02-11-2005, 01:55 PM

6. Is it true any highschool graduate is smarter than you?

YES

I am a high school dropout ! I hated school soo bad !

When I was 15 I was in a car crash A drunk driver hit me and my grandpa the day before thanks giving. I watched my grandpa die in that car

Makes me almost cry just talking about it. I spent 6 months in and out of the hospital.

When i got out I realized I was not gonna get outta school till i was like 19 and just could not take it fell into a deep depression and found solitude in the bottle and other things !

Lars, told you already. No matter how hard u try, you won't have that kiss. ;)
Thanks man. Go back to your questions, can't wait to read what you ahve to say.

triumph · 02-11-2005, 02:15 PM

Lars, I dont know you, but you sound like a heads up guy! Keep the motor running, the internet is still young and someone like you can take a big bite out of it! And help it grow and grow.

Xenophage · 02-11-2005, 02:17 PM

7. Being clean and sober - what's your thoughts on internet parties and activities at them.

After getting in the car wreck and going very hard into the bottle and other stuff for a few years, I found a point at which could not stop and or controll it. It consumed me and beat me down. I quit everythign when I was 17 and have not had a drink or anythign else in those 18 years. My life is much better for it. If I could drink like a regular person I would be the first to do so, but I know for me that is not possible. I have run into very few people that drink like i did at the shows. I think people should get their party on as much as they can thats what i would do

Sometimes I see a person making an ass of themselves at the show, but then i say wow that person is me all i have to do is get drunk and I will be an ass like that. So that helps keep me on the straight path.

8. Why did you marry your wife? Why did she marry you?

My wife is the star of my life ! We are coming up on 13 years together. She was with me when I was poor and she fed me and paid the rent. I marries her beacuse after 5 years of living together we had not had 1 fight.. i felt this to be amazing ! She is hot and has a great personality. I love her as much today as I did the day i met her. I dont know why she married me I would not date mnyseld she is a saint ~!

9. Did you ever work in a restruant?

Yup I worked at a deli restarunt when I was 14 it was the best since they had beer on tap and I would get lotsa beer and get drunk while i washed dishes. I soon moved up to bussboy and then to waiter.. I fucking hate food service and vowed after that to never ever work in food again. The very worst job on the planet is the guy who has to clean out the grease trap fucking ugly.. I did have to deliver bread later on in life to get bye.. but ti was not as bad as the messy food.

Xenophage · 02-11-2005, 02:43 PM

10. Would you recomend buying computers from Frys?

Another Job i had this one helped get me into computers a lot more I was a computer sales guy at frys for about 8 months.. i was so happy to get the job I had been out of work for like a year and was going out of my fucking mind of boredom.

as a side note my first computer was an atari 800 witha tape drive

11. What is virtual hosting?

In the old days 1994 you had only the ability to put one domain on each machine. We hacked apache and system v unix to allow for multiple domains per IP we were one of if not the first on the internet to do this ! it was our big sales gimmic. And it worked well.

12. You always seem to have a line on hot stocks - discuss your insider trading tactics and skills and where you got them.

I have been trading stocks for 17 years, I also at one point got a series 7 licence. I wanted to run a mutual fund. i found out though that I did not have the proper schooling and or the proper background (I.E. I did not know Thirstin Howell III) hahhah I lost lots of cash in the early years playing options market. Then lost more money shorting net stocks in the90's . I have sworn off individual stocks and for the last 2 years only trade ETF's like qqqq and such I have horrid luck with single stocks i always buy the stockj right before the accounttign scandle or the meteor hitting the ceo on the head. I have very good success with ETF's and indexes. I often am right on the direction of the market. My new years resolution is to not trade.. So far so good. if you trade stocks you have to beat the market by double to be the same after taxes as those that buy and hold i realize i am not smart enough to beta the market by double constantly so I am now an old conservitive. Buy and hold guy after years of thinking i was so smart and i could beat the market... NOT sometime yes but over the long haul NO I had a lot of fun with Poker.com PKER stock and NRMI a record stock and a few others. I ahve made some fun hiome runs but the mood swings are not worth it . I am focused on my biz and dont ahve time to worry about what the market is doing day to day.. Though I often scream WHORE at CNBC and go up you fuckign WHORE ! hahaahhahaa

13. Just how much real estate do you own/controll? Value? Where is it?

I like real estate, its a nice way to diversify, but even with property manages its a pain in the fucking ass ! hahahahh

I have been very blessed to be at the right place at the righ time on this..

Though I think we are due for a decline in prices over the next few years.

Well when i met my wife I had a short haircut i called it the foreskin haircut heheh hemet head. Anyway she asked me to grow it out and i did. I have talked about cutting it off from time to time but no my wife says that she will cut hers if i cut mine. I like her hair and she likes mine so I have long hair for my wife ! Plus after all these years can anyone actually imagiun me with short hair.

Yup I worked at a deli restarunt when I was 14 it was the best since they had beer on tap and I would get lotsa beer and get drunk while i washed dishes. I soon moved up to bussboy and then to waiter.. I fucking hate food service and vowed after that to never ever work in food again. The very worst job on the planet is the guy who has to clean out the grease trap fucking ugly.. I did have to deliver bread later on in life to get bye.. but ti was not as bad as the messy food.

We hacked apache and system v unix to allow for multiple domains per IP we were one of if not the first on the internet to do this ! it was our big sales gimmic. And it worked well.

I have been trading stocks for 17 years, I also at one point got a series 7 licence. I wanted to run a mutual fund. i found out though that I did not have the proper schooling and or the proper background (I.E. I did not know Thirstin Howell III) hahhah I lost lots of cash in the early years playing options market. Then lost more money shorting net stocks in the90's . I have sworn off individual stocks and for the last 2 years only trade ETF's like qqqq and such I have horrid luck with single stocks i always buy the stockj right before the accounttign scandle or the meteor hitting the ceo on the head. I have very good success with ETF's and indexes. I often am right on the direction of the market. My new years resolution is to not trade.. So far so good. if you trade stocks you have to beat the market by double to be the same after taxes as those that buy and hold i realize i am not smart enough to beta the market by double constantly so I am now an old conservitive. Buy and hold guy after years of thinking i was so smart and i could beat the market... NOT sometime yes but over the long haul NO I had a lot of fun with Poker.com PKER stock and NRMI a record stock and a few others. I ahve made some fun hiome runs but the mood swings are not worth it . I am focused on my biz and dont ahve time to worry about what the market is doing day to day.. Though I often scream WHORE at CNBC and go up you fuckign WHORE ! hahaahhahaa

I like real estate, its a nice way to diversify, but even with property manages its a pain in the fucking ass ! hahahahh I have been very blessed to be at the right place at the righ time on this.. Though I think we are due for a decline in prices over the next few years.
