Possible sources of income?
In the short term, it would be nice to have some method of generating money for mods. In the long term, have any of you though of setting up clinics for implants and other mods?

There are huge legal issues in the US and Western Europe as we all know. The medical community is a fickle beast as well. If someone wanted to set up a clinic and bullet proof themselves legally, you would need to be located in a country that freely allows you to do weird shit to people. Then you fly people out to your location, hack them up, and send them home. "Medical tourism" is the term for this kind of thing. Lots of people do it now for tit installations, dentistry, and other cosmetic mods. They advertise on the internet, and make big bucks. Medical tourism for cybernetics and gene mods (especially gene doping) would be a big hit. We need more products though.
The other option is a black market operation. I know a local guy who was a dermatologist until he lost his license for passing out drunk during a procedure. He was going through an ugly divorce at the time, fighting alcoholism, blah blah blah....He still makes money with his skill set servicing illegal aliens in the community as well as uninsured people who happen to know what he does. He removed a cyst for me for $40 and did good work. He knows a bone doctor, and a dentist, all in the same situation. They send each other referals. They might make more now than they did when they were licensed. They have certain protocols they follow to lower their risk of getting caught. Anyway, if you ever encounter an ex-neurosurgeon...let me know.
I sincerely doubt that all these spam attacks are from different places; is there a way that we can try banning the IP address that these are coming from? This is kind of getting ridiculous.
