Bill Gates is following in the footsteps of Rockerfeller and other great robber barons. They earned their money doing great evil and destroying people's lives. Then they try to rebuy their soul and public name by doing 'good' later in life but it is all selfish.
"I believe you where not around in 82, or didn't go to france in the 80s."
Then your belief system has nothing to do with reality. You're mildly amusing at best. I've been working in computers since the 1970's and was in France, Belgium and the USA during that time period and used the services under discussion. You are welcome to your delusions.
Actually, I do know what I am talking about. I was there and then. Both in the USA and in France and Belgium during that period, before it and after it. I saw the history that you only read about. I was part of it. I have been working in computers since the 1970's.
Minitel was not a forerunner to the World Wide Web. Rather it was a come-lately to the Internet that had existed long before Minitel. The French Minitel (founded 1982) was more like the early version of CompuServe (founded 1969). Minitel never did make it to CompuServe's level. It was quaint and French, meaning the French government hamstrung it.
The best way to watch "TV" is to buy DVDs from past eras and watch the shows on your time, not the networks's schedules. This also gets rid of the commercials and only the better ones make it to DVD.
Don't you just love moving parts? Fast moving parts? Close fast moving parts? And then one day it stops and the chip blows up due to the instantaneous heat load. Thrilling!
We have a Zero Tolerance Policy in our household. Any kid caught without their knife... tsk, tsk. And yes, they use saws, axes, power tools, handle 600 lb to 1,700 lb sows and boars, etc. They also know how to work as a team. I'm not talking sports. I'm talking real life work. This isn't a game, as much fun as it is.
People, you do know there is a real keyboard for the iPad. Right? One from Apple. A bunch from other companies. I have the Apple one. Excellent feel. Oooo... So, Microsf, what's the big deal again? Playing catch up and still can't catch Apple's tail coat? Ah...
The government is the one's who imposed these rules. The legislators made the rules. The people elected the reps. Apple's employees merely enforce them as required.
"Would you rather start at an Apple store for $11.91 an hour (average starting base pay, according to the linked article) and an employee discount, or at Tiffany for $15.60?"
Easy. I would rather work at Apple. Hands down. No contest. Discounts at Tiffany's are useless (to me) whereas the employee discount at Apple is fabulous. Besides, I like Apple products better than Tiffany's junk.
But, I work for myself so the point is moot. The reality is it is a free country and people choose to work at Apple. It isn't slave labor. Nothing wrong, nothing to see here, move along.
"Congress was criticized for not being tech savvy, but from a lot of the comments we got it became clear that the people who were calling us did not understand the bill any better than we did."
In other words she's admitting Congress is made up of idiots. The good news is we can vote those idiots out of office. She's scared which is why she's name calling.
Skip the college. You can learn everything you need without paying the big bucks or the four years for college. Nobody has ever asked me if I went to college, what my degrees were, what my GPA was, etc. All my customers care is if I can solve their problems for them. I can.
Shh... don't reveal our future technology projects! And rest assured, we've almost got the radiation levels of the ribeye down to acceptable levels post cooking in the collider.:)

Carve it into granite.
"You're just now coming to this conclusion?"
No, I've been saying this for decades. Probably since before you were born.
Time to kill off the patent system. It has become absurd.
I really don't like fake familiarity. Doing it for commerce makes it that much worse. I'll not fly British Airways.

"Chinese Court Sides with Nationalistic Blackmailers Against Apple in Blatant Racism."
Tell it like it is.
Hackable people.

Nothing unusual. This is Standard Operating Procedure. The negotiators negotiate while the warriors wage war.

No, I have too much respect. You misjudge me, sir.
(So what is it with white necked, died in the wool, liberal extremists like you that you go off half cocked like that?)

A correlation does not a causation make.

Alternatively one could interpret that the researchers are seeing what they want to see. A little bias anyone?
Ah, so this is why Monstersanto doesn't want GMO's labeled... Pride in what one produces be damned.

Maybe it is because the women want jobs. IT jobs are dramatically down so it makes sense that the enrollment number have also declined.
