"And it doesn't make the 100 million he gave to the UN vanish either"
Gates has done more to stop malaria n Africa than the entire EU.
As at today, he is busy funding the development of a malaria vaccine.
I don't know anyone who has done more to improve the lives of people in third world countries than gates has.

[K1avg]

Quite annoying, isn't he?

Still, ZOT I do believe is unnecessary.

He'll learn, or leave.

[K1avg]

Still distributing your histrionics, I see.

Please note Post #73.

[Darksheare]

He has no intention of answering something he knows he cannot.

[Knitebane]

Gates has done more to stop malaria n Africa than the entire EU.

And more to promote abortion in Africa and India than the entire EU.

And more to remove the rights of gun owners.

And require government funded health care.

Ad nauseum.

But supporting one good thing apparently makes the dozens of evil things just peachy with you, eh?

[KwasiOwusu]

"I notice he hasn't answered this question"

I don't even have to.
Thats not what this debate is about.
Its about if the original poster has bothered to check up his unfunded rumours woth the guys at Microsoft research, who are responsible for developing Microsoft search technology.
What is at issue is if enough care has been taken to in fact check up the facts on this story, before posting FUD on an Internet board.
Anyone can post anything they like.
That doesn't make it fact, does it?

Said in my best little-kid voice...

Microsoft is a copy cat!
Microsoft is a copy cat!

"Microsoft did not write the original Dos. They purchased at some rediculous price from someone else." True but did you know that when Bill Gates sold it to IBM he did not own it?

Microsoft bought DOS from Seattle Dos for $50,000,

They didn't sell dos to IBM, they licensed it and received royalties from every IBM pc sold because it came with PC-DOS (IBM's modification of MS-DOS)

[Knitebane]

Yeah, I think he saw through your set-up.

You're gonna need some better troll bait, I'm thinking.

We've got us a well-trained troll here. He's been taught not to let the discussion revolve around facts and technical analysis. That's a sure fire way for him to get spanked quickly.

Does any one know who is scanning the Domain name search stream and registering popular domain names before the searcher can?

[Knitebane]

And they licensed it to IBM before they bought it from Seattle Computing.

Don't they call that larceny?

"And more to promote abortion in Africa and India than the entire EU"

No he hasn't.
Show me one country in Africa that gates has gone in there and promoted abortion.
I can give you at least 5 countries off the top of my head of countries Gates or his dad have visited to set up clinics for treatment d AIDS nd malaria.
Mozambique, Botswana and South Africa, Ghana and Nigeria come to mind.
On the other hand, the EU is the place where they support abortion like nowhere else.

[Darksheare]

Very annoying.
He will learn, as you said, one way or the other.

[Knitebane]

"Thats not what this debate is about. Its about if the original poster has bothered to check up his unfunded rumours woth the guys at Microsoft research, who are responsible for developing stealing for Microsoft search technology."

There. Fixed it for ya.

"He's been taught not to let the discussion revolve around facts and technical analysis"

You have not posted a single fact or "technical analysis"
Nor have you answered my questions about the authenticity of this piece of FUD.

[Darksheare]

Yes, it IS teh point of teh debate.
IP addies are registered to people, or corporations.
A web admin can see who is scanning (pinging) them by their ip addy.
If there is an addy registered to Microsoft scanning you, you will be able to tell by IP lookup.
A Google admin noticing they are being sniffed repeatedly by a Microsoft business IP would be kinda suspicious.
Got it yet?

[K1avg]

Ah, yes, but saying Mr. Gates is less liberal than Google doesn't quite disprove it, now does it? In fact, if the debate's about your supposed "FUD," then why precisely have you spent the majority of your posts defending your assertion that Gates is better politically to us FR types?

[Darksheare]

I just tried to explain it to him as simply as possible.
We'll see what quaddity troll we have here.

[Darksheare]

And you state this right after saying the question to you about what you know on IP addies, ping/ack sync packets has no bearing?
You really cannot possibly be that blind, can you?

[K1avg]

You have not posted a single fact or "technical analysis"

Right-oh, Captain Barnabus. Unless, of course, you count the original article. The facts are right there, and the logical conclusion is drawn out. You've failed to disprove said logical conclusion.

And calling it "FUD" a million times doesn't help your case. IF I wanted to hear BS like that over and over, I could've gone to DU.
