"But those who know me know that I'm not very serious or "politically correct".
So here's my farewell message to "Bill #2" ... the only moment where I smiled
after seeing Gates on TV!"
You can take a criminal and put him in a sweater. But it's still just a
criminal in a sweater.
"Thanks to Mr. Gates, we now know that an open Internet with protocols anyone
can implement is communism; it was set up by that famous communist agent, the
US Department of Defense."
--Richard Stallman
Time to watch Gates carefully because he's already persua^H^Hbribing officials.
It was the UN 2 weeks ago, just days after his 'retirement'.

| At some point in your presentation billg will say "that's the dumbest
| fucking idea I've heard since I've been at Microsoft." He looks like
| he means it. However, since you knew he was going to say this, you
| can't really let it faze you. Moreover, you can't afford to look
| fazed; remember: he's a bully.

| My father, in his travels, has met Bill Gates. I don't think I'd be
| creating a problem for him now (as he recently retired) by saying that he
| was unimpressed. Apparently Gates was rude, he was distracted, and when
| he sat, he rocked back and forth in his chair, an action which reminded
| my Dad of people with dementia.

| In my BillG review meeting, the whole reporting hierarchy was there,
| along with their cousins, sisters, and aunts, and a person who came
| along from my team whose whole job during the meeting was to keep an
| accurate count of how many times Bill said the F word. The lower the
| f***-count, the better.

|
| Four," announced the f*** counter, and everyone said, "wow, that's the
| lowest I can remember. Bill is getting mellow in his old age." He was,
| you know, 36.
|
| Later I had it explained to me. "Bill doesn't really want to review
| your spec, he just wants to make sure you've got it under control. His
| standard M.O. is to ask harder and harder questions until you admit that
| you don't know, and then he can yell at you for being unprepared. Nobody
| was really sure what happens if you answer the hardest question he can
| come up with because it's never happened before."
