Gates Finally Gives In
-
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) will give away software to battle spyware, adware and other privacy-invading pests, company co-founder Bill Gates said Tuesday. I guess he's finally decided to cave in to the Linux steamroller and start reselling redhat. LOL ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'. If you're not here to race, go the hell home - don't come here and grumble about going too fast. Why don't you tie a kerosene rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass..." - Dale Earnhardt "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001
They've been giving the beta away for ages, I use it all the time. If Linux ever won the OS wars, it would be as spyware infested as Windows is. Christian I have several lifelong friends that are New Yorkers but I have always gravitated toward the weirdo's. - Richard Stringer

I think John is implying that Windows is a spyware/malware infested piece of shit, and the only solution to run software without that, is to run Linux. I think. :~ -- My name in Katakana is ヨルゲン. My name in German is Jörgen. My name in Mandarin/Kanji is 乔尔根 西格瓦德森. I blog too now[^]

For the methally lethargic, I was quoting an article linked to from DrudgeReport.com that was talking about how Gates thinks that now is the time to nip spyware in the bud (after having us deal with it ourselves for over five years). The quote is the first paragraph of the article, and my first thought was - "Wow! he's gonna start selling linux." There was no consideration of the more serious arguments against that statement, I was just trying to be funny. Further, most of you that have been here for more than 2 or 3 days know that I cast an equally acidic eye on Linux but for different reasons. Grow a fuckin funny bone people. I promise that it won't block your sloped foreheads, disguise your open-mouthed breathing techniques, or in any way rub Bill's butt chocolate off your noses. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

I mean... what do you want us to respond with? Maybe if you got up on stage and we had paid 100 bucks to see you we'd laugh but... I think we are missing the depths of your insightful comment. regards, Paul Watson South Africa The Code Project Pope Pius II said "The only prescription is more cowbell. "

We are methally lethargic and have sloped foreheads, Erik. I am afraid we will never be able to ponder the insight. regards, Paul Watson South Africa The Code Project Pope Pius II said "The only prescription is more cowbell. "
