If you respond, I pwn YOU! This is a troll and you know it because you want to spew your jealous venom, but you cannot, because then you will be trapped in the troll. A beautiful paradox!!! ;P

        Exactly. Bill Gates built the world (Windows OS) we work in. So all sound-minded individuals are 100% happy he is the richest person in the world. :thumbsup: And, anyone else, don't be acting like you are running Linux or some other OS. That's all just lies, because it still isn't: THe Year of the Linux Desktop That's not for another 5 or 6 years.

          Don't forget about Ballmer and Allen... MSFT has generated a tremendous amount of wealth.

          Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

            Errm, I'm pretty sure that a lot of other people built the Windows OS. In fact, the core NT based version was written by a team that came in from VMS and NT went on to underpin a lot of what we now know as Windows. As for those of us who still use Linux systems, Bill had very little to do with it. So, while I still love coding Windows applications, I love it when people are accurate with their facts. The pedant in me gets upset when people play fast and loose like that.

                    I wish you hadn't used % symbol here because now I'm have to convert the value to decimal... Let's see... 0.0000001% is 0.000000001 There, that's much easier to read. :D

                          I think the only troll here is Bill. He's all like "Maybe I'll NOT be the richest man this year..." and other rich people are all happy like "Yay, we finally stand a chance to be richest!" and then Bill is just like "LOL, just kidding n00bs!" and then he donates half of his wealth to charity and STILL is the richest person in the world and all the other almost richest people in the world are like "Awww, man that Bill did it again :(" Bill is like the bully of the richest-people-in-the-world-playground.

                              Maybe he thought he was posting on Slashdot, where it's expected of everyone to still hate anything to do with Bill Gates...because of reasons.

Unlike a lot of others. If you respond, I pwn YOU! This is a troll and you know it because you want to spew your jealous venom, but you cannot, because then you will be trapped in the troll. A beautiful paradox!!! ;P

                                      ... and just think, there was a time when I was richer than Bill Gates. This feat is not that impressive in that I am a bit older than him and was making a living in the real world when he was a poor student.

                                          I wish you hadn't used % symbol here because now I'm have to convert the value to decimal... Let's see... 0.0000001% is 0.000000001 There, that's much easier to read. :D
