Interview with a wallet Vampire
Gonusto:
If you've got the time, read this interview with Bill Gates from CNN. But the quote below is the interesting part.
quote:NEXT@CNN: Do you envision any circumstance under which Microsoft might divulge part of its source code for Windows?
GATES: Well, actually, our customers have licenses to the Microsoft source code. The key point is that we're still paid when people use Windows, so we can hire smart people, create jobs, pay taxes and things like that. But lots of those people who need it actually do get access to that source code.
--- End quote ---
For some reason I don't think Bill's telling us the truth. I wonder what *needs* as person has to have to get a copy of that code? And I wonder how much of your life you have you have to sign over . . . ?
-Gonusto
TB:
Oh......you won't have to sign over your life......you've already done that by using M$ products online. And Bill Gates already has control over the minds of millions of brainless windows users, so that leaves only one thing left for you to surrender to Bill Gates:
YOUR SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!

Debill -- expletive; indicating a strong dislike of Gates and anything that is related to him; that can be also expressed as an enthusiastic disagreement with EULA.
Debillity -- a chronic affliction of addictive nature to one of Macro$uck OS.

quote: In our industry, companies like Xerox or AT&T are famous not just for doing fairly good research, but in many cases not ever being able to bring it to the marketplace.

Yeah ok Bill their research is just "fairly good"......cuz like no-one uses Ethernet or Unix. :rolleyes:
NESnerd:
Didn't Xerox make the mouse? You know the thing you move and then your cursor follows it around? Yeah, I guess that thing never really caught on. It's too bad too, that was a good idea.
