Very good observations Kaz- very good!!

Personally,

it seems more like a diluting of national identity to isolate everyone as much a possible so its easier to rule over the masses. Giving people an abundance of low priority choices as to keep them agonizing over simple issues and generate unhappiness in people to the point of depression. making it unable for these people to find their way out of the system and thus confining them to their own made cells. In which they have some sense of control and rest.

I thank you for taking the time to explain all of what you lay out above!

While I’ve no clue about the computer type stuff, I was aware that Bill Gates, was connected, aided and guided, to success- In other words his success came from nepotism and not from merit.

“Mary Gates, was said to be instrumental in a deal that helped propel Microsoft into the big leagues”

Luckily for Microsoft, IBM’s talks with Digital Research started to flounder, and when assessing options, Opel remembered Microsoft as the company *“run by Bill Gates, Mary Gates’ son,” *according to The Seattle Times.

I’ll have a watch thanks Brian

I’m hoping it will not be a boot stamping on the face of humanity, forever.
” …….imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever”

“De-populate the middle class in North America and Europe, replace with the seemingly inexhaustible supply of ‘refugees’ from the global south to provide a new weaker proletariat servile class while the elite, thinking they can establish martial law in the coming civil unrest”

It looks as if the conditions are being created for civil unrest…that’s looking undeniable at this point in time

Look forward to your new info GC!

The only thing he programmed was a compiler for the Basic language. It may take at least some intelligence to do, but nothing to write home about. I could do it in probably about an hour. He was notorious for having stolen the operating system of his employer using the courts and that became the basis of his DOS, and that itself got its success from backroom sweetheart deals with IBM. State of the art it was not, far inferior to what was already available, in many ways a few (or more) steps backwards. Someone once said “compared to UNIX this DOS looks like a three piece tinker toy set.”

The same held true when he introduced his Windows 95, when he was already fabulously wealthy and had teams of programmers to do the work. And of course Windows itself was a blatent ripoff of Macintosh. Then he tried to get into servers with WinNT. The filesystem NTFS is another childish attempt, the lessons of decades of the industry unlearned.

DOS/Windows were also notoriously buggy and insecure. Most of those problems were issues of memory handling. I knew all of this when years later I read the Intel Processor manual and found that the processor itself could handle that. The code was already in the processor! All one had to do was set a few variables and the processor took care of everything. This also makes writing general programs simpler.

And it’s for this he is known as a genius!

He always also relied on increasing hardware speed to cover up his crap code. You could run a Linux/BSD system on hardware you couldn’t even run Windows on and get better performance than MUCH faster hardware, and no worry of constant crashes (the “blue screen of death” it used to be called).

One last point, one of his more notorious (tech) statenents: “640K ought to be enough”. An idiotic statement, to put it mildly. No techies doubted its authenticity back in the day, but if apocryphal, it is consistent with other moronic statements by Gates and his Microsoft cohorts over the years, showing no understanding of the hardware they were programming. For you non-techs, consider RAM workspace, a counter or workbench. If you have too little you would have keep returning things to a shed or pantry. More complex tasks would be extremely time-consuming, and maybe impossible.

Didn’t mean for this to be so involved, but I thought this once well-known information might be interesting.

Must watch!
