Bill Gates Doesn't Work At Microsoft Anymore

Slashdot Story | Bill Gates Doesn't Work At Microsoft Anymore

"Tanks are a very important component to group play. I like to think of Microsoft as that big guy in the heavy armor who takes all the hits and soaks up all the damage, because it doesn't mean much to him anyways. I also think of Apple as the DPS, and if they keep critting too much with all their successful products, they'll eventually pull Aggro and end up getting all the criticism Microsoft recieves. And I think of *nix as a good healer, silently standing far away from everyone, keeping everything running nominally with their superior networking capabilities and low resource requirements. See? You can relate anything to World of Warcraft. I dare you to come up with something I can't."

What has Gates done PERSONALLY to make slashdotters so hateful of him?

Bill Gates Unleashes Swarm of Mosquitoes

OK, True story: Back in the early 1980s I was working for a small
startup company in eastern Idaho... we did lots of vertical market
stuff for home construction companies and lumber mills. All written in
C, with Assembly language libraries and a smattering (*gasp*) of BASIC.
So one day, I was working on debugging our B-Tree retrieval libraries
using the new state-of-the art 80386 machine (all the other machines in
our shop were '286) when suddenly Bill Gates bursts into the office. He
does a couple of flips over the office partition walls and killed two
of my co-workers with a karate chop to the neck....one was the HR
person who, of course, has all our home addresses, so Bill grabs the
sheet of paper with all of them and yells "I'll be back". Well, after
the police interviews and crisis counselling and cleanup... I go home
only to find my wife and four triplets all stabbed to death and my dog
pregnant. On the kitchen table was a note from Bill Gates saying "I did
this"
