"What a wonderful human being you are"
US health secretary Tommy Thompson to Bill Gates.Any (constructive) thoughts?

microsoft is relatively not-evil compared to companies like shell and enron.

yes, oppoesed to the fact I am not so handy with Windoze..I must admit Gates really puts cash in good places...
But he also offered Indian (local) govt's free .NET software to fight the ever growing use of Linux setups there..so we still need to put some "philanthropy" in the right perspective.
As for health, good job, Bill!

ýou don't hit in man wearing glasses.

i never understood that.
why not hit a guy wearing glasses?
is it a pity thing, or a breaking his frames issue?
and if you wanted to punch the guy in the first place, why would you care if his frames were broken?

because the glass will shatter and pierce his eyes nob-end

...then he has to buy new glasses, and those things can be expensive. you should always ask that he take them off before punching him in the face. curtesy and all dat.

but really it's not that big of a deal these days, with shatterproof glasses and all. It would just hurt the guy and your hand a bit more cause your hitting plastic and not just skin and bone. When your pissed it's worth it.

even the xbox pisses me off.
gates may be friendly, though microsoft sure aint.
