    Interviewer: Is studying computer science the best way to prepare to be a programmer?

    Gates: No, the best way to prepare is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and I fished out listings of their operating system.

      Not sure if you were speaking to me or the AC, but I'll tell you anyway. My record is 6 days 21 or so hours. All I remember is I passed out before I reached 7 days. Mine is a physical abnormality - I don't need sleep in the way most people do. I need sleep, but it comes more easily (i.e. just resting, naps, etc...) Even with no sleep at al I do pretty well, and it's been proven that sleep deprevation actually increases certain types of brain activity.

    If this is true, English is indeed a weird language... By saying "I could care less", he would be saying "it would be possible to care less than I really do". Obviously, he means "It would not be possible to care less than I do", which can be reworded as "I couldn't care less".
