has occurred to change those thoughts.


Gates and Job's were marketers that ripped off the public. *Gates
eliminated competition as much as possible and uses his monopoly to
gouge the public with 30% profit margins. *Jobs rips his customers off
with a 40% profit margin. *XOM rips us off with a 10% profit margin.


Almost no one knows who Richie and Kernighan are, quite normal for a
screwed up society. *God must have loved this guy to write his code for
him, so I'm sure he is resting in peace. Gates and Jobs on the other hand...

And Gates is leaving $50 billion to charity. *Yep, he sure was a
schmuck that did nothing for nobody not ever. *Sheesh.

If you're looking for saints, go dig up a few.

I am surprised that you don't know the correct spelling of the name of
the guy you idolized/worshipped. *I figured that having it spelled out
for you in the URL you provided would have helped get it right.

Ritchie made a huge contribution - don't see why you feel the need to
tear other people down to point that out. *But, whatever.


That is the conservative** way. Destroy what's in your way. There are
many many examples of the way(say Perry) a conservative** politician
will show that he/she is better by shoving the opponent down, not by
showing any personal merit.

**=Jack's type of conservatism that is. It doesn't have to be that
way, but in Jack's world anything he either disagrees with on doesn't
understand, needs to be either threatened or destroyed.
Sad, really.

Ritchie, Gates, and Jobs are all gifted, but now that Jack has
'judged' for us whose gift was acceptable to him, we can now go on
hating the other two.

I really don't recall anybody in here with that much hate. A special
hate. A christian hate. The worst kind of hate, fuelled by hypocrisy.
