    ...and we all always believe him, right?

  3. 640k Should be enough by YukonTech · · Score: 0 · on Bill Gates: Cellphone will Beat iPod

    This prediction by Bill Gates reminds me of a famous predition http://www.leonine.com/~lion/pub_papers/itphil/nod e3.html
    640k Should be enough for anybody. Of course now we can look back and see just how great Bill Gates is at predicting the future.

    10 years from now I'm sure someone else will reference Bill Gates saying "The iPod is on the way out"

    SCO vs World

    Recently we found parts of our code in almost all Microsoft(R) software. We want to bring an action against Microsoft(R) and our legal department is working on that. Parts of code found in in all Microsoft(R) products from MS-DOS(TM) 2.1 to Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) Longhorn. Currently we are checking older MS-DOS sources. It's obvious, that all while (1){ do_something; } and for (i = 0; i 16; i++) loops came from our code.

  5. Yes, he said it. by twitter · · Score: 1 · on The Most Incorrect Assumptions In Computing?
    The facts are much worse than the verbal slip up. He also tried to keep it that way as long as he could. Nothing much has changed. When the 386 came out, M$ hobbled it with horid limitations by running the same old junk on it. It took ten years for them to finally catch up with it, each new OS introduced with cerimony as "the death of DOS" but each containing bits and pieces still and all a vastly overgorwn kludge. Free software, on the other hand has adopted best practices from Unix and is ported to all modern platforms, while M$ has yet to even manage a full Alpha port and did their best to kill that sorry plaform to hide their shameful failure. Pththth!

  6. Not only did he say it, by twitter · · Score: 0, Troll · on The Most Incorrect Assumptions In Computing?
    but he tried to keep it that way as long as he could.. Nothing much has changed. When the 386 came out, M$ hobbled it with horid limitations. Microsoft systems today still suffer under many of the limits imposed by 16 bit DOS as well as Intel's 10 year old 386. Free software, meanwhile, has adopted best practices from Unix and is ported to all modern platforms. The facts are much worse than the verbal slip up.
