Bill Gates quits Microsoft

[Purple Dalek]

Blah Umm - I think ha ha ha Blah that's called Blah modular programming. Quite popular. Some people even design Blah API and class libraries and stuff.

What Blah should they have Blah done? Have one humoungously Blah talented programmer Blah write the whole Blah shebang in one massive inline slab of Blah code?

Shut up bogeyman. You are making yourself look like an sasguru.

This was Gates' vision of how an OS should be. A real product of Gates' mind:

Notice the dog made into in XP as the search "buddy".

Stupid ****.

Oh well, I see you have the intellect of a prawn, sure enough.

You start an argument and can't finish it, or even discuss the matter in a rational and civilised way.

"Stupid ****"

Yeah! Way to go!

Feck me! It's like debating with Oscar Wilde.

Oscar Wilde with tourettes...

Perhaps he means that a knob looks like a purple Dalek. It does a bit, but without all the details.

Erm, I think Bogeyman has the point here. Let’s say I create something that sells phenomenally well. But it needs constant revisions, updates etc. I withdraw support for some of my products after only 8 years, and thus put the onus on the customer base to sort out further problems. Lots of customer complaints all round anyway. But the money keeps rolling in and I become a gazillionaire. Well, I think my conscience could live with all of the former if I became the latter. At least then I wouldn’t have to trawl the esteemed threads of CUK to work out how to make my next million…

Your 'next' million?
