Slashdot Mirror
Bill Gates in 1983 Teen Beat Magazine
So normally I resist the temptation to post this sort of thing because it just seems like a cheap shot, but
I just can't hold back on this one, so
Bill, if you're reading this (ya right ;) I'm sorry, but I just have to share this one. And I hope in 2021 I'm a billionaire and people are posting my yearbook pictures to take cheap shots at me too! Anyway,
We recently found pictures of a photo spread Mr. Gates did in 1983 for Teen Beat magazine. Enjoy.
Somebody's been /.-ed
I, for one, welcome our homoerotic, pie-eyed, playful floppy-disk tossing Overlord.

For once I don't think I'd get upset if Bill Gate's swarm of lawyers issued a take-down notice.

All that I can tell by looking at those photos is that there was a helluva lot better pot in 1983 than there is now.
This takes geek sheik to a whole new low
Let's get one thing perfectly clear, I did not vote for George W Bush, and I do not endorse what he does or says.

Haha, those are the photos _after_ they got done with makeup and post-shoot editing. Bahahaa.

Nothing says "unprofessional job" like wrinkles in your duct tape.
This is going to take vodka. A LOT OF VODKA to get the images out of my mind. I hate you CmdrTaco. I hate you. Sincerely.

or did he look like some sort of serial killer/mad man to everyone else? Especially in that second photograph... ::shudders::
Seriously? What was the article about? How in god's name can you justify having pictures like that?
He is posing like he wants to be wearing a bikini. I can hear him being told to "make love to the camera".
SASSY!
Here's the mirrordot location (shows the pictures).
What happens if Slashdot puts a link to mirrordot? Will mirrordot mirror itself?
Mod me down and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!
Jesus Christ! not so floppy!
this post is irrelevant
...ever BSoD in the background?
Also, look at his eyes, Bill Gates should definately lay off the pipe. Crack kills!

On the left machine in the back he was coding windows1.0

The right machine was his inspiration
THEY DO NOTHING!
I so wished I *DIDN'T* RTFA. :(
I need to go home and shower now.

Is he dressed as an arab in other pictures?
Excuse the blood, I had to dig my eyes out in a hurry.

THANK GOD!!!
Does anyone else find it amusing that he's posing in front of a blue screen?

Your wrong, his best quote is:
"...the best way to prepare [to be a programmer] 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 fished out listings of their operating system." -- Bill Gates.
Bricklin sent waves of laughter through the auditorium by reading a passage from Lammers' interview with Bill Gates in which the young Microsoft founder explained that his work on different versions of Microsoft's BASIC compiler was shaped by looking at how other programmers had gone about the same task. Gates went on to say that young programmers don't need computer science degrees: "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 systems."
Bricklin finished reading Gates' words and announced, with an impish smile, "This is where Gates and [Richard] Stallman agree!"

These are NOT a "Teen Beat" magazine photoshoot.
These are pictures of mr. Gates POSING LIKE models usually pose for "Teen Beat". I mean, like, learn to read.
Tsk.
Does it matter?
You think these pics of Gates are disturning, I've managed to dig up some "photos" Woz did for Hustler Mag back in 1986. And yes, I am still trying to get the image of man-boobs outta my head all these years later....
So, as always, Slashdot is wrong. It is from 1985, not 1983. But, amazingly enough, it actually is Bill Gates, and it is real.
Should we start a pool on when the dupe will appear? I pick Saturday and Timothy.
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
Somewhere, deep in my brain, there are two brain cell that have registered and stored those images.... and I will never get those brain cell back.
Damm you Slashdot!
Please, please bring back goatse instead.
Seriously, that's just disgusting.

Too sexy for a haircut
So sexy it hurts! Yow!!
Actually, to be completely fair, he doesn't exactly look thrilled to be posing for the pictures. Imagine if Torvalds were cornered to do this. Or... in some frightening parallel universe where geeks are considered the ultimate sex objects: Stallman. (Brrr... I shudder at the thought)

I did not want to see Bill Gates throwing his floppy around....
IANAL... But I play one on

In those comment threads hundreds of girls are absolutely SWOONING. I really don't understand that gender. But it's a hopeful sign. Wonder if I have a sweater like that in my closet somewhere.

They sound about as effective as Springfield's police force.
Or is that three arrests for Bill Gates?

Don't let the term "Micro soft" fool you.
