"Today, with a $60 billion fortune, Gates is both hated and loved. Unlike many, he has promised to contribute over 90% of his wealth to charities when the big guy calls his number."
90% of the richest man is more than 85% of the second richest man.
Gates is just being more low-key about it.
I work very low-level at Big Insurance Company, where every day I see nearly a thousand people's confidential medical information. The average claim is probably seen by about six pairs of eyes during its lifetime.
As far as external breeches go, we keep everything locked up pretty tightly, with 24-hour security guards etc. (they cornered me in the parkinglot one night)
What does anger me, is that the mainframe passwords must be 6-8 characters. They wouldn't even let me use my 16 character password.
The code they have written in will be ripped off and sold back to them, as proved by ClosedBSD, an improved BSD OS that I can buy.
Wrong. Very very wrong. ClosedBSD is a stripped down implementation of the FreeBSD kernel used for booting a machine as a router.
From the ClosedBSD mainpage: "ClosedBSD is a firewall and network address translation utility which boots off of a single floppy disk or CDROM, and requires no hard drive. ClosedBSD is based off of the FreeBSD kernel, and uses ipfw as its native ruleset management system, and natd as it's network address translation utility."
The BSD name is trademarked, so you won't have linux-like branches coming around that cost money. If it's BSD, it's free.
