I like the gif of him passing out.

Sure thing.

You didn't connect pollution, or recycling, for that matter, to your point. You drew increasingly long "everyone knows" connections to things. That's why I don't think you understand your own point.

There isn't a "right" in selling someone a printer, as long as you aren't ripping them off or something.

Oh, no doubt.

No, you've just repeated your feelings over and over, which I do not care about. Back your proposal with evidence, or go away. I don't care how you feel it ought to be, unless you can demonstrate a change is warranted through evidence. You are just pissy your shitty printer doesn't work anymore because people don't…

Yes it does. Its weird like that.

Holy shit, I know I'm just another voice in the chorus, but these have been on every other phone FOREVER. My terrible Blackberry that work gave me does these things.

Depends on what the current draw on a watch is.

Point of order. A lot of the "explosion" you describe is because of insulating fluid in an electrolytic capacitor vaporizing. There is no such fluid in supercaps. You can still get an electrical flash, but you are conflating two different technologies. The cap in the article is just silicon and a plastic film.

Smart people with money and some social influence + anarchist beliefs. Happens every time.

The system works according to market forces. Until technological advancement in consumer goods changes, people are going to continue to want a new cellphone every few years. People are sold computers on how fast and cutting edge they are. Until people stop wanting cutting-edge products, designing them to last forever…

None of these things run or require outside programming work.

Can you cite your data?

The point was the "should" wasn't backed with data on why it would be an improvement over the current system, in quantifiable terms.

Re: The Backpack.

Again, you just made ideological based arguments rather than ones grounded in reality. we are discussing what works, not how you wish it was.

You have to admit, though, it would be kind of funny to see.
