Psst: did you hear that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation joined forces with the Rockefeller Foundation? <!-- s8-[ --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="8-[" title="Anxious" /><!-- s8-[ -->

I'm not a windows fan. Really I hate Windows... But I think that joking and hating Bill Gates is not a nice think as we can spect. Remember that Bill Gates is the greater benefactor from humanity:nobody before has given so much money for poors and any other needed persons all over the world. Also, Bill Gates and his Woman, their own organization for investigatin Cancer (I really dont remember if cancer orany other). Windows jokes and all that kind of funny stuff are nice, but we cant forgot what Bill Gates did and is doing by many needed persons.

After having caused a lot of those problems himself, yeah.

Well, I know that guys from Microsoft CAn do good things sometimes <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> In my memory their Visual Stuido 2005 is the (nearly) only product that didn't make me complain. (Also Win 3.11 probably, but those times I was too young and unexperienced to complain at such things) And the "Microsoft Games" "Rise of Nations" game was cool one. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> BTW, I now RambOrc will probably call me "sheep" again, but I used Vista, heh <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> (it was pre-installed on my laptop actually), and frankly the only thing I found interesting there is its brand new GUI design... but then I saw same design on some linux-like OS screenshot in the net <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> All other graphical features are only, how you call this - eye-candies? - and cause machine to slow down, so I used to toggle them off <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> And it caused me laugh hysterically when for the first time I tried to laucnch MSVS2005 and it spawned a message, that "this program have known compatibility problems with Windows Vista". That is, I always though Operation System should be made to be compatible with maximum things possible, while MS guys seem to think that OTHERS should force themselves be compatible to Microsoft Windows. <!-- s:x --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif" alt=":x" title="Mad" /><!-- s:x --> [quote="Karnizero":11u54n3o]But I think that joking and hating Bill Gates is not a nice think as we can spect. Remember that Bill Gates is the greater benefactor from humanity:nobody before has given so much money for poors and any other needed persons all over the world. Never used to hate Bill Gates really,... anyway, in my opinion its not something special, but rather a natural thing for a guy having lots of money help others (unless he is a complete egoist), so I could never understand people who use this argument.

1) Can't say anything about Visual Studio as I never used it. 2) Windows 3.1(1) was hilariously backwards and crappy compared to their OS competition (OS/2 Warp 3, Mac System 7). 3) Rise of Nations is an awesome game and I love it. It was *published* by Microsoft, not *created* though (Microsoft can take only as much credit for the game as a Bantam Books can for an Isaac Asimov novel). 4) I have used Vista at work too and I can say from first hand experience that it's crap. With the default settings, it made me (and my IT colleagues too) crazy, and even after I switched off *all* eye candy that can be switched off, it was still too flashy and slow compared to XP (which is already not exactly a good product). Both Windows XP and Vista are bleak, cheap and crappy copies of the Mac OS X GUI - anybody who ever used the original would not think to say Microsoft innovated anything. 5) Yes it would be a natural thing to help other people who are in need, but that's not how Western society works (especially not American). Not everything the communists told you about the "evil capitalist pigs" when you were a child were lies, there was more truth in all that propaganda than people would think today. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) -->

[quote="RambOrc":2ns77jxs]Yes it would be a natural thing to help other people who are in need, but that's not how Western society works (especially not American). You know, the bigwigs running the Western society may say they're American, or British, or whatever, but I'm convinced they're all descendents of the ancient Reptilian race. There's no way an ordinary human being can be so sadistic.

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the world’s largest ‘transparent’ private foundation as it says, with a whopping $34.6 billion endowment and a legal necessity to spend $1.5 billion a year on charitable projects around the world to maintain its tax free charitable status
Yeah, by the way, that's what people usually forget - these companies avoid paying some tax percents by the charity method. I also remember that same thing sometimes done by presenting pieces of art as a gift to some public exhibition. And one thing more, a bit offtopic maybe - recently I've heard that in Russia (know nothing about other contries) there's a law that if a commercial company has certain percent of invalides in its stuff, it doesn't pay taxes at all. [quote="The 4th Class":e52010th]the bigwigs running the Western society may say they're American, or British, or whatever, but I'm convinced they're all descendents of the ancient Reptilian race Heh, I once read a book of one nationalistic radical, which stated that the World Sionistic Government that rule Earth today consists of descendants of invaders from Sirius, that created ancient Egyptian civilization and bred Jews afterwards <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> But the article is very interesting. I remember reading something like that once, maybe in retelling.
