"there are people dying in the streets" Is this your proof that the earth is crowded?
Eating meat is not the cause of hunger worldwide, it is corrupt and incompetent leaders.
"The real problem is that the poor countries are being kept poor" True in a sense, but who is keeping them poor? Developed countries according to you I bet.
"Those applications will continue to be developed and expanded in the years to come. " Likely, but not guaranteed. Present existence does not guarantee future existence.
"When you compare cost apples to apples, Java wins hands down. " Not against Microsoft it doesn't.
Well Mr. Conduit, if you are having trouble with so many people, maybe you should look in the mirror. Seems an awful lot of people are "putting words in your mouth".
You never did respond to the breakdown in the logic of how I "put words in your mouth", you should be able to point out where I "misinterpreted" you.
No offense, but how old are you? Are you in school? What grade? Seriously, I am curious.
Get back to us when you're doing something better. I bet if you looked into it, he has actually done something useful for the world, if nothing else taking chances and creating jobs and wealth for other people who in turn do good for the underprivileged. I'd feel pretty confident that he HAS done more good for others than you ever will in your entire life, regardless of your present age. Before posting a rebuttal, why don't you stop for a few minutes and think.
Either way, unless you're putting in volunteer time, you're not doing anything great for society either, so how about you just keep quiet until you have something valid to say. You are not one to judge.
A) Well, to me it sounded like you were implying that Bill Gates doesn't care that children are dying throughout the world. And I would think it is safe to assume that you DO care.
B) So, if this is the case, then I would say that you ARE morally superior to Bill Gates, woiuldn't you?
So if he was to lend you his balloon, you could do it I assume? If not, then what was your point?
Or did you mean that you could do it, provided someone gave you a multimillion dollar balloon and the training required to know how to do it? Yes, in that case I guess you ae right. Brain surgery is also no big deal, after all, you could do it too, provided you learned how to do it. Piece of cake really?
Tell me, is there anything anyone could do that would impress you outside of saving the world through opening up their source code?
Nor does landing a man on the moon. After all, any country with the technology and skilled astronauts and sufficient budget and scientific know-how could do that too.
Even running a 2 minute mile means nothing, as anyone with appropriate genetics and training could do it, so whats the big deal right?
Basically, no accomplishment means anything, as anyone could do it under the proper circumstances.
"How do idiots like this become millionaires, anyway?"
LOL
If he's an idiot, whats that make you? Or, did you a) turn down all offers of wage raises b) donate all salary increases to charity?
If you are not declining offers of money (implying you desire more money), and you are not a millionaire, then what does that make you, if he is an idiot AND a millionaire?
Bill Gates IS doing something about it. He will eventually be responsible for saving thousands and likely millions of lives of people in undeveloped countries. But you will probably still think you are morally superior to him, because he did it the easy way, using money.
That's the difference between you and people like Bill Gates.
It's probably based on the revenue they could have made (if they had sufficient customers) at their regular returns on bandwidth, as opposed to what they were charged for the bandwidth by their provider. In other words, a lie.

EVERY single contract I have ever done through a headhunter includes ownership of the software going to the employer. If this is not spelled out in the contract, I am sure it is because of an assumption by the client that they will own the finished product, not because they don't care.
Who it defaults to legally in this case....I don't know...
How did it get underwater like this?? Can't be rising sea levels as this was before the industrial revolution, so there wouldn't have been anything to increase temperatures and raise sea levels. So how did this happen?? I'm so confused.
As is the majority of the rest of the public. So ESR's prediction will not come true. That is the discussion we are having here in case you haven't noticed.

The earth is not a closed system.
"The earth IS crowded"
No it isn't.
"there are people dying in the streets"
Is this your proof that the earth is crowded?
Eating meat is not the cause of hunger worldwide, it is corrupt and incompetent leaders.
"The real problem is that the poor countries are being kept poor"
True in a sense, but who is keeping them poor? Developed countries according to you I bet.
The point of the statement is, doing the same thing on linux takes much longer than on windows, for most people. So, you are losing MORE time.
Any predictions on the results of that search one or two years from now??? :)
"Those applications will continue to be developed and expanded in the years to come. "
.Net wins.
Likely, but not guaranteed. Present existence does not guarantee future existence.
"When you compare cost apples to apples, Java wins hands down. "
Not against Microsoft it doesn't.

The onus is not on us to prove you wrong. You are the one calling down Mr. Fossett, you provide us with the evidence, dum-dum.
And I wouldn't get too big headed about volunteering at a museum, I wouldn't say you're "changing the world".
If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.

So of the above, which is wrong, A, B, or both?

Unless you give it to Africa, in which case it's called futility.
No it isn't. If they happen to be running a huge ftp server, then that is admissable evidence.
Yes, someone here is idiotic.....

The first billion would starve regardless of our existence. You are the moron.
software written by contracters usually isn't
EVERY single contract I have ever done through a headhunter includes ownership of the software going to the employer. If this is not spelled out in the contract, I am sure it is because of an assumption by the client that they will own the finished product, not because they don't care.
Who it defaults to legally in this case....I don't know...
Without (unless I misread) being told about it beforehand.
/.ers wonder why OS isn't taking off.
And you
ummmm.....sarcasm anyone??
