 Me too, but Linux isn't too hard, so I don't think gratitude to Gates is merited. 

I used to watch tftc a lot, but not lately. Sounds like a good one.

 gates ripped off qdos, ripped off windows, microsoft is like the amazon of software, they do everything, just non-shitty enough to ... as they elquently describe it "embrace, extend, extinguish"

i am not grateful to gates for making contracts with hardware manufacturers to ONLY write firmwares and drivers for windows... at all, in fact i think such a contract should be considered a conspiracy

 wow, he's really one of those bad dudes that are so good at being bad, it's incredible. he's like Hillary Clinton level. 

at some point i'm just in admiration because I don't know how she's accomplished all the nefarious stuff that I think she has, but I'm sure she has done it.

on a regular week if I'm ambitious I'll put a paddleboard in the water. 

and then there are people that have gone and conquered the world, and still have time for flying to caribbean islands.
