I don't know what you mean because you didn't express yourself clearly. As you've made no effort to in your follow up message to explain what it is you want I can only conclude you're a troll.
No, no need to find the article, I do recall 3 or 4 occasions of this kind of thing. How much of the story is actuality, and how much the story is angled to outrage to Linux crowd, is never clear.
It is perfectly possible Microsoft led the charity to some of these projects because they wanted Windows rather than Linux.
But really my point is that BMGF does lot of projects, most of them never attract this kind of story because PCs aren't involved, or only incidentally. Whilst they obviously do favour Windows when it's IT related, they clearly aren't an organisation who's main focus is pushing Windows.
In the third world, they're doing a lot for immunisation and vaccination, and tackling malaria and HIV. They are saving lives. And that's more important than Linux/Windows battles.
Stolen obviously gets returned. Borrowed or shared... if it's your car you need to make sure that the people that use it are on the policy, or are covered in some other way.
I'm not sure quite what you mean, I haven't seen the app you refer to on Android, and I haven't seen all of the 500,000 apps available on the iOS App Store. Why don't you go take a look for yourself.
I was calling upon you to perform certain research. If you are not up to the task, I am not sure I have any reason to feel compelled to support the non-imperative part of my statement with citations.
I despise Microsoft and consider Gates to be responsible. So I'm certainly not one to apologise for either.
But... If I got wealthy from having created a widget firm, and I decided to give my excess wealth to charity. Then I think might also insist that when widgets were required for those charitable projects, the money was spent on widgets from my company rather than going into my competitors widget sales chest.
Looking through the BMGF list of projects, half of them are third world healthcare so won't be particularly IT centred.
It's a genuine charity. Just one that has a preferred supplier of Microsoft when IT tech is required, due to the fact that that is where most of the money in the charity came from.
All money must be spent before the 50th anniversary of Bill and Melinda's death, so they basically have to spend it all pretty quickly and after the causes they are funding dry up, well, that's all they wrote...
50 years after death is hardly "pretty quickly". It makes sense. Too many charities end up as institutions with grand offices and highly paid employees consuming most of the money. This is a way of concentrating the minds on the fact that the purpose is to transfer money out of the charity into the hands of worthy causes.
Buffet actually asks government to tax rich people like himself more tax. That's not "tax levied against his competition", thats tax levied from all people in his bracket of wealth including himself.
They arguments that you are coming up with are the kind that rich people pay lobbyists to put out. Rich people who, unlike Buffet, don't want the rich to pay more tax. And they typically put out this propaganda on talk radio, to be lapped up by useful idiots. Useful idiots that don't actually benefit from tax cuts for the rich, but buy into to the paper thin lies.
That's why you're getting multiple accusations of getting your talking points of talk radio. Not because people are copying insults from each other.
I have no sympathy for anyone who is foreclosed on because they got a loan they couldn't afford. And make no mistake, they knew what they were getting into. It's all right there and anytime I've purchased real estate, they laid it all right out for me and had me initial it. I knew what I was getting into and I knew what my budget was...so did everyone else.
Do you sound more like: Mr Potter or George Bailey? Eberneezer Scrooge or Bob Cratchitt?
Why wouldn't you quit your day job? Even if you only managed a paltry 1% on that capital, you'd get $60,000 per annum. Significantly more than the average salary.
I agree to a point. Taking away the license is problematic because it is not immediately enforceable. In the US, people without insurance and licenses drive all the time.
They're starting to reduce numbers of that in the UK now. When stopped by the police, if the record shows you have no insurance or licence, then the car gets towed and impounded. A couple of weeks later if you haven't managed to produce documents to prove you were insured and licensed, the car gets crushed.

If you're handicapped it's fair enough to have any vehicle you need. Not want, but need.
But most people driving trucks and SUVs from home to their desk job don't need one. They're just idiots.
Stop buying stupidly oversized automobiles. You don't need a truck or a huge SUV to take one person from home to office.
Repetition for the sake of it. A pointless post. The classic being "Frist psot!"
What the fuck has that got to do with Siri? The idiots are coming thick and fast today.

Installing iTunes for free isn't buying the whole cow. It's not buying any of the cow.
See those numbers after our respective usernames?

Ah well, they don't really have to cater for people who don't and won't have iOS devices anyway.
If I knew what it was you were asking for I'd have a quick look for you, see if I could find it.

Right. Because having his followers argue about what he meant is far better then everyone being clear about what he meant.
It's remarkable how little logic affects the thoughts of the religious.
All Scripture is God-breathed...
2 Timothy 3:16
That was written by Saul of Tarsus. A mentally ill man, not a god.
His followers gave him the title "Saint".

That's how the vast majority rich people became rich people. By being the children of the rich.
You aren't living in a civilised society if the poor have to pay for their children to go to the doctor.

You're so full of shit, and you know it.

These days of course it's the police. Their primary duty is to defend the interests of the rich against the poor.

Oh the 99% certainly did. It was a very unpleasant time. But the poor did benefit. And they are still benefitting now - the Liberté, égalité, fraternité philosophy of the French came from the revolution.
