If Woz had a little more Jobs in him, he'd have told Jobs to go fuck himself when he sold Woz's work to Atari and paid him a fraction of the money.

There would be no Apple.

Look at it from the other way too.

A foreign agency is secretly funnelling money into an institution that's supposed to be looking after my (as a UK citizen) interests.

I think it's well past time this incestuous charade was exposed.

I'm stuck in a cycle of continuously rediscovering this, then forgetting it again almost immediately because CTRL+ALT+DEL is so damned ingrained.

See: Woz and Jobs.

See this? This is part of the problem, stop being so stereotypically blinkered.

The rest of the world doesn't care if the US government is spying on its own citizens. The US government is ACCOUNTABLE to its own citizens (well nominally, but hey...), so if they don't like it they're in a position to do something about it.

As a none US citizen, I care that the US government is spying on ME, unilaterally and without any accountability.

This is what the rest of the world cares about. Stop pissing away what little sympathy you have by moaning like a spoiled child about the bad shit your government is doing to YOU, and open your fucking eyes to what it's doing to EVERYONE ELSE.

Children shouldn't be using the internet unsupervised, full stop.

This is remarkable, I initially thought you'd typo'd your typo and had to do a double take to spot it.

Isn't the brain a wonderful and scary thing.

Gone to the great Rumfuddle in the sky. RIP.

96 isn't a bad innings all told.

Yeah, this article's blinkered, hyperbolic and frankly smug tone is pretty amusing when you take things like the above into context.

He even sticks a "literally Hitler!" on the end for good measure.

Not an expert, but from what I understand it's a trade off. Super-capacitors hold much less charge than batteries.

There was a very interesting article about them on HN last year IIRC.

There's no such thing as bad publicity!

Wrong.

It's also easy to not see stuff when you're blind drunk.

Both of these things are illegal, it's no excuse.

It's not just better writing though, it's the difference between laughing with and laughing at.

BBT isn't just "not funny", it's actually rather obnoxious.

Is it bad that I can still recite that number from heart?

Rhetorical question, of course it isn't!
