Born the son of a pig farmer in Bucharest, this young
ne'er-do-well had few ambitions above mucking out the slop
stall before dinner.
But that was just at the dawn of the digital age. Who would
have thought that five years later the same boy who thought
cow tipping shouldn't go above 10% would go on to invent
the Internet, and eventually become the first living human
with an ADSL line surgically attached to his spinal
column.
Now, in these increasingly untethered times, he has
eschewed his former 6Mbit neural I/O port for an 11Mbit,
encrypted, wireless version. It certainly makes it easier
to leave the house without the need for miles of extension
cord.
