U.S. Billionaire Heads to Space Station

TurnAround writes "According to an International Business Times article, a Russian rocket carrying the American billionaire who helped develop Microsoft Word roared into the night skies over Kazakhstan Saturday, sending Charles Simonyi and two cosmonauts soaring into orbit on a two-day journey to the international space station. Climbing on a column of smoke and fire into the clouds over the bleak steppes, the Soyuz TMA-10 capsule lifted off at 11:31 p.m. local time, casting an orange glow over the Baikonur cosmodrome and dozens of officials and well-wishers watching from about a mile away."

Heloo! Anybody home?

[Un pobre guey]

I think its his right that he do what he wants with the money he earned

Don't you get it, you dipshit? He didn't pay for more than a fraction of it. We and a lot of average Russian citizens subsidized his trip with a lot of prior public investment. Earned? Microsoft earned their billions? With hard work, no doubt, not a structural monopoly they defend tooth and nail and a huge ocean of PR bullshit.

All I can say is:

[His name cannot be s]

There is a special spot in hell reserved for Charles.

Out of all crimes against humanity, Hungarian notation is one of the worst.

Repent! Abandon ye all who use use the notation of the devil! :p
