"People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters."

--Bill Gates

Wow ... silicon masters ... or is it just the silicon master ... Bill Gates ? :)

Well EULA seems to be sucking a lot of Macroshaft...

TexMex if you liked that one, try this one on for size:

"Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy."    --Bill Gates

Or how about this?

"Let's face it, the average computer user has the brain of a Spider Monkey."      ---Bill Gates

You're shitting me ... he really said that ? Wow ... I mean I dunno what to say ... I suppose he may be right since nearly everyone on the planet uses Window$ ... but to say it so bluntly ... brain of a spider monkey ... :fu: Bill Gates !!! That just proves it M$ must be exterminated at all costs.

This is similar to what $ony said about consumers ... "Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about" ... :fu: $ony !!!

These companies must be brought to the ground ... I say boycott everything made by them and promote reasonable alternatives.

One step at a time... Free Software OS takes the majority of the desktop industry and then everything else will follow suit. These men are not evil or special they're simply powerful, corrupt and typical. It's not the consumers or the CEOs, not the money but the laws of nature... it's going to happen, I'd simply like to ease it along help it on it's way, maybe help shape it to be clear, understood and strong. There'll still be power hungry dicks in charge of the hardware industry after Free Software takes over. There'll still be dicks in charge of commercial Free Software as well. It's human nature to want more power and :tux:Free Software may be the right thing for a free society that doesn't mean that it can change human nature...

With that I think I'll catch some well earned ZzZzZZzzZs. GOODNIGHT!!!

PS I think the quote might be more offensive towards monkeys... I don't know...

I have 100 billion dollars... You realize I could spend 3 million dollars a day, every day, for the next 100 years? And that's if I don't make another dime. Tell you what-I'll buy your right arm for a million dollars. I give you a million bucks, and I get to sever your arm right here.

How interesting ... and strangely psychotic :eek:

Oh and this one's my favorite:

There are people who don't like capitalism, and people who don't like PCs. But there's no-one who likes the PC who doesn't like Microsoft.
