Gates said the Redmond, Washington-based company's work toward Web services standards would be "royalty free." That remark led to questions from the audience, which wanted to make sure Gates hadn't misstated the deviation from the company's royalty-based software sales model.
"I can't believe I said that," Gates joked.
Yes, it is. For moralities sake I left a 'dot com' programming job to work as a microbiologist, and waited patiently for a company that I could in good faith work for. Now I have a better job than before, I still have my honor, and my family is better off for it.
I Realize this is in no way conclusive, as there were ~55 founding fathers, but here's a start
President George Washington:
"It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
"...The Smiles of Heaven can never be expected On a Nation that disregards the eternal rules of Order and Right, which Heaven Itself Ordained."
"Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God."
Benjamin Franklin
"I have lived, sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth-- God
Governs in the Affairs of Men, And if a Sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, Is it possible that an empire can rise without His aid?"
"Except the Lord build the house, They labor in vain who build it." "I firmly believe this."
John Adams
"If we make religion our business, God will make it our blessedness."
President James Madison
"We've staked the whole future of American civilization not on the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all our political institutions upon the capacity of each and all of us . . . to Govern ourselves according to the commandments of God. The future and success of America is not in this Constitution, but in the laws of God upon which this Constitution is founded."

Thank you for Posting as yourself, I respect you for that. And I agree that Christians have no right to persecute others. But ignorance of the fact that this nation was created by christians is exactly that, ignorance. And as far as forcing our belifs on others, I do no such thing... I share my faith and experiences, and those who can hear [or read] are free to ignore me, or draw their own conclusions. But I shan't rant long, in closing thank you Scottish Guy, for your courage in spoeaking against me, for you are the kind that I would stand up for anytime [even in disagreement].
I'll give you that to a certain extent... but if you would read your history books, you'd find that this nation was founded by people who had the balls to speak out against what the disagree with. Not to Hide In Secrecy [hint, AC], or to be stripped of their GOD GIVEN rights?
Anyone who is not willing to stand up for their rights is in opposition. Anyone who trembles in fear is a traitor. Cowards are our enemy. I say to you "Rid yourself of these Shackles" free your mind from those who would take it from you!
Before I get branded as a Zelot, Are you Friend or Foe
Fuck you. Try thanking the Christians for creating this nation for you... where you have the right to blaspheme the one you should exault.

TAH: are you _really_ just a SCO drone, or do you assume that damn near 1/4 of Linux was lifted from SysV? Hell I don't think BSD contains that kind of ratio of the origional AT&T code.
Failures of Darwinism like you are what makes FUD successful.
I'm not arguing that _maybe_ someone stole SCO-UNIX code, I'm saying that you seem to be really misinformed.
To, as the cliche goes, toot my won horn, I got a 1450 on my SAT. And in reference to Itaniums being proprietary, just like any other processor on the market, it is controlled by one manufacturer... The intent of the message was more along the lines of, I can buy any old motherboard when it dies...
Now, question of any late-reading/. types, Should I really take the insults of a Yahoo.Com guy seriously?
Really, the Apple Experience is nothing more than BSD on overrated, overpriced hardware with a Spiffy 'Not Really an X', X Server.
Why dont's this 'mac-o-files' just accept the fact that the x86, Itanium, and Opteron guys just don't like having proprietary hardware in our racks... and leave it at that.
...As with most other 'Modern' OS's... Hell, driver changes on my RSTS/E 10 [PDP-11/79] box would take down the whole system. [[Still having DECNET Nightmares]]
Drivers just happen to be one of those things that must be 'just right' otherwise it'll probably take down the entire system for [[what seem to me]] to be obvious reasons.

I Worked for E&J Gallo Winery... and I minored in Microbiology in college :).
That and knowing the head of Q&A doesn't hurt any.
Yes, it is. For moralities sake I left a 'dot com' programming job to work as a microbiologist, and waited patiently for a company that I could in good faith work for. Now I have a better job than before, I still have my honor, and my family is better off for it.

What about 11? In that case counting to 21 could lead to arrest.
True.
