"Some people want their paychecks and to go home, and that’s fine. You and me, though—we’re gonna work harder than they do. We’ll build things that ensure that entire populations just setting foot on the web for the first time can tap into the collected knowledge of the whole of mankind." - Mat Marquis

    We would all be using unix instead, as we gaze at our EGA monitors, our computers pieced together from the remnants of society's excesses, wondering how long we can survive on scavenged food and wet toilet paper, and how it all went so horribly wrong. If only they'd never set the dotcom bomb off.

    Like he’d be the guy who would pour a glass of champagne before showing you his collection of fencing swords. I bet he has a secret hideout behind a Greek goddess statue or some shit

    @d-fanelli Apart from the champagne, that sounds kind of awesome. I want a secret hideout behind a statue of Artemis and a collection of swords.
