Sir Bill Gates

[Bane]

While the title is a little misleading since Bill Gates isn't a British citizen, it is true that Bill Gates was knighted today (http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory?id=544271). I find this to be rather amusing. Now I can picture him in that photo shoot (http://www.scurvydawg.com/article.php?story=billgates1983) wearing a shining sword and armor..

Oh...that Queen! She's off her royal rocker.

[audiedoggie]

bastard! why couldn't they knight Steve Jobs?? :p

[whitecrow]

Yeh, it's a bit like knighting the Evil Emporer BEFORE Darth Vader, isn't it?

[Moon-Light]

Its a shame she didn't remove his head during the knighting, accidently of course *evil grin*

[Mr. Bojangles]

I can see it now..."Pirates of Silicon Valley, Episode One"

The Woz training his young apprentice Jobs to take on the evil megalomaniac, Bill Gates in a fight to the finish.

[audiedoggie]

and we all know Steve Jobs would win (he is a nerd....but at least looks a lot less nerdy than Gates.....and his products are cooler too!)

[Amaurote]

Given that Tony Blair is the man who effectively decides on the conferral of honours, my question is this: just what has Bill Gate done for the Labour Party lately?

[Bane]

It's not altogether horrifying considering the amount gates donates each year and his own foundation. Compare him to anyone else in that bracket and he compares quite favorably.

[Amaurote]

Oh, no doubt, Bane, on a personal level I think Bill Gates is a decent human being. However, Dr Frankenstein created the monster, and for that he must pay with his life.

[Bane]

oooh... we should make Bill run the new netscape then, surely that is a penalty worse than death.

[audiedoggie]

i agree with Bane on this one!

damn netscape
