Gates 'World's Most-Spammed Man'

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the and-you-thought-you-had-it-rought dept.

acehole writes "Bill Gates receives up to four million emails a day, and is probably the most spammed person in the world. But unlike ordinary users, he has an entire department to filter unsolicited " At least now I know why he never replies to my requests for an interview ;)

    Interesting question: Does even Billy G have enough pocket change to pay for a tech to visit every XP PC in the country - even just once. fix something, check it - do something useful to improve the system....

    If he dosen't, re-calc against the assets of MS?

    Basicly - if the settlement of some mythical suit forced 'em to personally go around and fix stuff - could they stay solvent?

    Someone with one of those fancy HP number crunchers figure it up. Aughta be good for killing a few minutes in class as well as earn ya some karma points.

    You had to use Google to work out 40% of 30 billion? I don't think you belong here.

    I didn't want to bait the pedants who don't know an American Billion from a real one. ;-)

    Since Mr William Gates is commonly known to be the custodian of an exceptionally small penis, perhaps some of us might care to help him out, since he has so many dogsbodies-in-waiting to ensure that sincere offers come to his attention...

    GOOD! And I'll also bet $10 that he lets anything that promises to make his penis larger get through as well.

    1. M$ Software is responsible for more than 80% of the world's spam
    2. Microsoft is a big user of M$ junk.
    3. Email from within the company goes unfiltered to Bill Gate's inbox.
    4. Mr. Gates is the most spammed man in the world. Sometimes, there is justice.

    Is there anyway Mr. Gates could receive fewer than 46 spams per second? No, it makes perfect sense. At any time, one or two compromised desktops would do it.
