I don t know if you go to coffee shops with your laptop and wouldnt mind talking to people but buried in your computer people are hesitant to just walk up...theres this new product that communicates that its ok to come and talk or to leave you alone and such...http://www.moodblurbs.com

I dont know I kinda think its an interesting concept

i've found that a scowl works just fine to ward off people.

yeah but what if its a hot chick.... or your future benifactor...just because its coffee and not beer doesnt mean you cant flirt...it would flirt for you with little effort on your part

I'd be afraid the goatse background would make somebody want to say something to me.

Maybe a "go away, I'm busy" sign would be a good idea.

Or I could just post my rates.

"If you want me to fix your computer, it's $120/hour."
"If you want me to fix it right now, it's $200/hour."

I'm not paying for that shit.
