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

[org.whodat]

Ok Bill, I can rigs a potato gun under you flusher if you want a cheap thrill.

And by the time government gets done regulating it...

“Bill Gates has given Dutch researchers the task of creating a toilet that works without links to water, sewage or power networks.”

It’s already been “invented”, a long time ago. It’s called an “out house”, and in modern terms they already have portable ones.

Tell the Dutch researchers to just send Gates their own “out house” plans and collect the “research” money from idiot Gates.

[Leroy S. Mort]

Apple had it first.

[Revolting cat!]

The fool and his money.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

[Steamburg]

Notice that he had to send this project to Dutch Researchers. He knows that Dutch Red Tape is so much less Sh-—y than our red tape. He must also believe that stoned Dutch Researchers are far smarter than their grant grabbing counterparts in the USA. Considering the public indoctrination system, he could be right.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Yeah, just invent one you only have to flush once!

[RedWhiteBlue]

I wonder if you’ll have to “run as administrator” to get it to open?

They should let that Dyson guy design it. No telling what he would come up with.

[penelopesire]

Sounds like Gates is trying to help Zero create some ‘shovel ready’ jobs.....lol

Some factories have converted their boilers to burn pig manure. Burning crap to make electricity isn’t all that new.

The best way to deal with Third World crap is to stop feeding the Third World crappers.

[Roccus]

That screen in the glass of a micro-wave oven door is there for a reason.

[Atlas Sneezed]

I might not agree with all Gates’ causes or products, but he puts his money where his mouth is. His efforts to eradicate polio are massive. And sanitation is a critical issue in the third world, where poor sanitation means unsafe drinking waster and disease.

I applaud the man’s effort at this.

[mjp]

hope the new toilet could be produced at an affordable cost for people in developing countries with limited access to reliable infrastructure.

As a general rule,you can get low cost, high quality, and large supply but not all three at the same time.The project is doomed before it even begins.

[hinckley buzzard]

Mother Nature's way of telling young Bill that yes, he really does have too much money.

[Grumplestiltskin]

“Bill Gates has given Dutch researchers the task of creating a toilet that works without links to water, sewage or power networks.”

Gee, he could have looked in the phone book and probably found several outfits that supply the plastic/fantastic port-a-johns.

They seem to work fine, without connection to the water, sewage or power networks!

Just sayin’....
