So I just read Bill Gates' 1976 Open Letter To Hobbyists, in which he whines about not making more money from his software. You know, instead of being proud of making software that people wanted to use. And then the bastard went on and made proprietary licences for software the industry standard, holding back innovation and freedom for decades. What a douche canoe.

It should be classified as a sign of mental illness. If I had half of a billion dollars I wouldn't work another day in my life and the general public would never hear from me. These fuckers have more money than they could ever spend and still desperately want more.

It is. They call it hoarding disorder.

i don't see the point. It really is fucking pointless. They will NEVER spend billions in their entire fucking life, and yet they want more. More money. More money. So much more money. We need to take after star trek and abolish money
