Maybe they can find a toilet GUI that will work the first time you use it....................

It’s called an outhouse.

[capt. norm]

for people in developing countries with limited access to reliable infrastructure.

But, of course, they have access to microwave and a place to plug it in.

Since it's from Microsoft, it will eventually lock up and have to be re-installed.

"Mr. Gates, I have designed the perfect toilet, that will not need water or electricity..."

"Can I have 10 million dollars now?"

[WayneS]

I’m all for advancemnets, Mr. Gates, but why reinvent the “turd-burner”?

[Mr. K]

This is the problem with liberal elites.

They think you can invent things on demand.

Instead of having a team of researched find and evaluate potentially useful areas of research, they demand something they THINK would be so nice to have.

[WayneS]

...a toilet that works without links to water, sewage or power networks.

...develop a way of using microwaves to process human waste and create electricity.

Okay, so without a power source, what generates the microwaves?

[WayneS]

Preliminary calculations show that microwave plasma gasification may be energy self-sufficient, provided that the efficient transformation and high throughput of human waste matter can be obtained. It is also affordable.

Now THAT'S funny!

"Okay kids, if you want to be able to watch some TV tonight you better commence to eatin' and crappin' like you ain't never ate nor crapped before!"

[mdmathis6]

Oh where to begin....will it interface with Windows 7 64 bit?

If something goes wrong with the microwave thingy will one find ones testicles roasted instead?

If the plasma thingy explodes the sygas thingy does the “user” experience the “BTOD” or blue toilet of death?

[muawiyah]

The first, last and only problem (as almost anyone can tell you) is that no matter how you put it together, the resultant products and byproducts still have the lingering odor of poop ~ EVEN FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS!

This is not a problem that Bill Gates can overcome.

[GreenAccord]

Oh man, these jokes almost write themselves.

Cool! A toilet you have to stand up from and sit back down on to flush.

It gives new meaning to the Blue Swirl of Death!

“Oh man, I have to install Winflows(tm) Service Pack Number 2 in order to take a crap.”

It gives new meaning to the term, “You must be LOGGED on!”

[Roninf5-1]

people in developing countries with limited access to reliable infrastructure. The people in Third World hellholes are too stupid or too lazy to dig a simple slit trench. That why these Third world pits are still "developing" after thousands of years.

[US Navy Vet]

Bill Gates already has a “toilet” Windows ME and Vista.

[jz638]

Sounds like a noble pursuit, and happily my tax dollars aren’t paying for it, but if the developing countries don’t have the plumbing infrastructure to support toilets, they probably won’t have the energy infrastructure to power a poop microwave.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

It already exists. Grandpa had one out on the back...

[Rebelbase]

Wouldn’t it be easier to put everyone in the world on a 1200 calorie a day intake to reduce volume?

[the invisib1e hand]

early-onset dementia?

[JohnBrowdie]

He already did. It was called windows vista

Bud, sit down. Let me tell you the story of the Ferguson. Now these babies were made in Maine, you know, at the little Ferguson factory. It's the Stradivarius of toilets. And my Dad could play it like a violin. Yup, I'll never forget the time my dad took me to Maine to visit the factory. I had to go to the bathroom. And I begged him to pull into a truck stop. He said no, wait until we get there! It'll be worth it! It was!

Bud: Excuse me, Dad, but a toilet is a toilet.

Al: (grimacing) Bud... the toilets today aren't worthy of the name! They come in designer colors... they're too low! When you flush them, they make this weak, almost apologetic sound. But not the Ferguson. It only comes in white. And when you flush it... BaaaWOOOSH! That's a man's flush, Bud. A Ferguson says, "I'm a toilet. Sit down and give me your best shot." Oh, if only a Ferguson could speak, the tales it would tell!
