Whole Kremlin bot network got activated to attack Bill Gates. The attack is even more massive than against Greta Thunberg. And just as obvious and coordinated.
WTF? I knew that Russian programmers hate Bill Gates ever since Microsoft now hires Indians, instead of Russians. Because you know, Indians are smarter and can actually speak English. Then again, the current Russian PM, Mishustin, is a former computer programmer and a communist party member. Guess he has something personal against mr. Gates, who made his wealth by actually good deeds, instead of being a corrupt asshole literally stealing from the already poor people.
Guess Rocky IV movie is currently being re-enacted in the IT boxing ring.

>>2 Microsoft developed affordable, high quality and accessible software. Compare MS Word with your Emacs+TeX. Compare Windows NT with Unix. Only Steve Jobs and the Apple can claim to be on the same level. Both Gates and Jobs took these unused Xerox technologies and gave them to the common people, like the modern day Prometheus.
Now tell us what Mishustin did? What have his friends from the CPSU done? Beside making poor people even more poor.
Melinda Gates challenges Vatican by vowing to improve contraception
Catholic philanthropist predicts women in Africa and Asia will soon ignore church teaching on birth control
The billionaire philanthropist Melinda Gates, a practising Catholic, has thrown down the gauntlet to the Vatican and vowed to dedicate the rest of her life to improving access to contraception across the globe.
Gates, who with her husband, Bill, the founder of Microsoft, is one of the world's biggest players on development issues, predicted that women in Africa and Asia would soon be "voting with their feet", as women in the west have done, and would ignore the church's ban on artificial birth control.
Gates, who was a speaker at the London Summit on Family Planning organised by her foundation in conjunction with the UK government and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), said that since she announced her new direction a few weeks ago she had been inundated with messages of support from Catholic women, including nuns.
"A church is made up of its members, and one of the things this campaign might do is help women speak out. I've had thousands of women come on to websites and say" 'I'm a Catholic, but I believe in contraception.' It's going to be women voting with their feet."
Gates said that in the west the bishops said one thing, but ordinary Catholics did another. "In my country 82% of Catholics say contraception is morally acceptable. So let the women in Africa decide. The choice is up to them."
She admitted, though, that she had agonised over whether to speak out in defiance of the church hierarchy. "Of course I wrestled with this. As a Catholic I believe in this religion, there are amazing things about this religion, amazing moral teachings that I do believe in, but I also have to think about how we keep women alive. I believe in not letting women die, I believe in not letting babies die, and to me that's more important than arguing about what method of contraception [is right]."
Being a woman and a mother were at the heart of her decision to focus on family planning, said Gates, who has three children aged 16, 13 and 10. "It would have been nice to stay as a private citizen but part of the reason why I'm so public is that it does take a woman to speak out about these issues.
"Why have women not been at the heart of the global health agenda? It's because we've not had enough women speaking out. We need to give a voice to women all over the planet.
"This will be my life's work."
Wednesday's conference, which brings together 250 delegates from around the world including Jakaya Kikwete, the president of Tanzania, Chantal Compaoré, first lady of Burkina Faso, and the Bangladeshi minister of health, AFM Ruhal Haque, is the launch of what the Gates Foundation is billing "a groundbreaking effort to make affordable, lifesaving contraceptive, information, services and supplies available to an additional 120 million girls and women in the world's poorest countries by 2020". Gates announced on Wednesday that her foundation was pouring $560m over the next eight years into improving access to birth control. The UK government is pledging to double its efforts on family planning, up from its current £90m a year to £180m a year.
In her interview with the Guardian, Gates said the moment had now come to push contraception back to the top of the development agenda. "The reason it fell off the agenda was because we made it controversial – people backed away because of fear. But today there are 200 million women who want to have access to contraception, and if we're not serving them that's not right."
She said that when she and her husband first set up their foundation 18 years ago, they had originally focused on family planning but had then shifted their agenda to providing vaccines after realising that childhood mortality was the top issue, and that women would not choose to have fewer children until they were sure their children would survive childhood. "But once we saw that was happening, we could take family planning back on," she said.
It was meeting women in Africa and Asia on her travels through the developing world, said Gates, that made her determined to push contraception back on to the agenda. "Over and over again women have told me that all they want is to be able to put time between one child and another child. It's a universal thing to want to feed your children and to educate your children, and women know that the only way they can do that is not have so many. And this campaign could give them the tools to make sure they can do that."
The campaign would include research to look at developing better methods of contraception, said Gates – and these methods could, in time, benefit women in the west as well as women in Africa and Asia.
"What I'm most excited about is thinking about tools that will have fewer side effects and could be longer-lasting," she said. "Luckily for women in the west it's not a life-and-death situation, but for women in the developing countries it is, which is why I believe in putting them at the heart of it."
Microsoft developed affordable, high quality and accessible software
- obsolete and proprietary file systems like NTFS - ads on the start menu - telemetry - forced updates - obsolete memory optimization programs - malware everywhere - shit tier programming toolchain
sure they're high quality programs.
Compare MS Word with your Emacs+TeX.
Nobody uses Emacs+TeX anymore.
Compare Windows NT with Unix
Unlike Windows, Unix: - actually has a good toolchain - it's simple to understand - most Unix systems are BETTER than windows nowadays. Even MacOS X outclasses Windows.
Gates is a bad person who only cares about himself. Let's remember that he's behind shit like https://id2020.org and in the 70s he complained that some nerds copied ("stole") his altair basic interpreter, but he forked CP/M to create DOS and he "stole" BSD stuff to put it into NT.
>>6 Tell me what's the conspiracy theory. There are no "muh alt-right conspiracy theories". Just facts.

>>1 >ever since Microsoft now hires Indians, instead of Russians. Because you know, Indians are smarter and can actually speak English. I am not strictly a Microsoft employee, but I am outsourced to do their chat support. 90% of employees are Indians. And of these, 90% are shit tier to the level that my boomer parents would be better tech support. Not all of them are like that, and some of the ones that aren't I count amongst my friends. Even if you're a /pol/tard, you have nothing against any brown person if they stay in their own country, which these do.
However, the vast majority are utter shit and have no interest in actually providing tech support, just replying bullshit until the customer gives up. There are people with fake accounts, botting spam pointless answers...
This is just the first line tech support though. Although all westerners seem to reply and work honourable. I'm sure those cultural differences don't propagate further up the ladder.

So many time has passed, and people still don't respect copyright. Despite intellectual property being so important to modern day America. Basically copyrighted information is the main American export commodity. USA doesn't produce iPhones, it sells a copyrighted design to produce an iPhone. Without copyright there would have been no iPhone.

Because you're hiring the cheapest workers in India, and they move to another company as soon as they gain a bit of proficiency. And I doubt you boomer parents would agree to work for such wage. In fact, they cannot afford to do that, since British house rent and food cost orders of magnitude more than than a cardboard box house in Indian.
