Bill Gates knighted?, who cares? It's a ridiculous, anachronic title given to a non convicted criminal by a decorative woman.
Knight Commander of the Most Excellent order of the Brithish Empire?, what's the next? Knight of the Round Table? We live in the XXI century, I live in a democracy not in an empire. I am not subdit of anyone!
Title's name aside, the abusurd thing of this comic, but pathetic spectacle are the reasons argued to give it to him. Please!, Mr. Gates is maybe the most important obstacle to the advance of the software development and of a healthly collaborative and competitive market in the computers community and industry.
From the fictitious but immortal Alexandre Dumas' Edmond Dantes who named _himself _Count, to Bill Gates there is a light years difference.
I, without any doubt, prefer the great Count of MonteCristo to the "poor" Billy the Queen's Knight.
God saves Ireland!
