Bill Gates Enrolls His Kids In Khan Academy
theodp writes "At some schools, a teaching load of five courses every academic year is considered excessive. But Sal Khan, as an earlier Slashdot post noted, manages to deliver his mini-lectures an average of 70,000 times a day. BusinessWeek reports that Khan Academy has a new fan in Bill Gates, who's been singing and tweeting the praises of the free-as-in-beer website. 'This guy is amazing,' Gates wrote. 'It is awesome how much he has done with very little in the way of resources.' Gates and his 11-year-old son have been soaking up videos, from algebra to biology. And at the Aspen Ideas Festival in front of 2,000 people, Gates gave Khan a shout-out, touting the 'unbelievable' Khan Academy tutorials that 'I've been using with my kids.'"
Fuck Bill Gates. I don't care how much money he gives out, he has singlehandedly brought an entire industry to a standstill and ruined the competetive marketplace with his buisness practices. He has broken laws and destroyed lives, he fucking owes society. If there was any justice in the world, this man would be in prison.

I never forget a face. Mister..... Schmidt, isn't it? I never thought to see your face again.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
