Bill Gates Unleashes Mosquito Army

Post by glendalais » Thu Feb 05, 2009 1:23 am

MSNBC: Bill Gates releases mosquitoes into audience

Positive message on Malaria Awareness aside....you just know he had to do this in front of a group of people who more than likely tend to trend towards Mac and Linux (particularly for their web servers)...

:rolleyes:

I thought I saw Gates chatting with Dr. Doofenshmirtz the other day down in the lair.

Bah, FreeBSD is better. Mac built OSX on it, I use it, so should you!

Solaris is popular as well.

Yep. I am forced to deal with Solaris with a couple systems that I don't manage on the OS level...

10 isn't so bad though...

My question: How do you round up thos misquitos for something like that? Is there a Mosquito Farm out there? Kinda like the Bunny Ranch, except that you get poked and it's just not any fun?


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Sit down and breathe. They'll come to you.
