Outrage At Gates' Knighthood
Talkback Actually I think a "knighthood" is totally ridiculous. BG deserves a knighthood for prompting this great talkback. Funniest talkback I've ever seen! If you check your history books, you'll see that kinghts usually did very little other than hacking...

Talkback Listen, I lived In Britain for 10 years before moving to New York, and if Bill Gates is "not worthy" of a knighthood, then I can think of at least 10 people who were so honored, who had or subsequently committed crimes that would make Bill Gates...

Rupert Goodwins' Diary
Blog Bill Gates is in town, picking up his knighthood and probably laying down the law over all this open-source silliness. And so I think it's a little hard to predict anyone's domination. I think one of the greatest contributions to the industry we've...

Outrage At Gates' Knighthood
Talkback As for the Honours (Honoury Knighthood - Bill Gates), think of it as 4th prize in a beauty contest. Although I personally think it makes no difference what you or I think about the situation, which can be demonstrated by the recent events with Iraq...

EC Gets Stuck In To XP Embedded
Talkback I don't know why HMG though that Bill Gates deserved an honorary knighthood, but giving it to him certainly won't have hurt him of the firm. If I came round to your house and killed you, I don't think the argument that "It's just a private argument...

Talkback Foreign Office to honour Bill Gates (with a knighthood). I think Smithy, NY is off the mark. I, and I expect many in UKUUG and others in the world who advocate open systems, have _no hate_ for either

I Think Of Tony Blair And Remember...
Talkback Not that I would dare to suggest for an instant that there be any link between a "cash for honours" scandal and a Knighthood for the world's richest man. Tony Blair is the man who awarded a Knighthood to Bill Gates.

Talkback Well, most Unix mail clients don't allow you to execute attachments at all (I can't think of one that allows it but I don't know them all, there is a wide choice). I am going to give you a quote from CNN on this "MyDoom" virus, which was written by...

Talkback Just my opinion but I think he deserved more than that. I'm just an Okie near Muskogee. Greetings cousin's. My great-grand father, T. J. Bailey, was an architect and faithfull servent to Queen Victoria.

Talkback You also seem to think that I am against Microsoft the OS. And like I said earlier, they have to be treated with caution as the true value of things must always first be assessed. As I said before, it is an adequate class C system, in my opinion.

Talkback To take some funny figures from an open source site of dubious reputation, using some open source benchmark that no one but open source fanatics recognise,is the best equivalent of a loaded dice I ever saw.

Talkback I have found Microsoft to be very helpful. I am not saying that Microsoft was right in their business practices, but the plain truth is the software is used by a large majority of businesses and if you do not know how to use their software you do...

Talkback When you think of the amount of his life he has devoted to what is essentially a community, perhaps he ought to get some form of official recognition for it. True, Gates has done wonders with the amount of money he's devoted to charities through...

Talkback We don't have a fanatical hate-filled "Microsoft Source" movement anywhere that I have come across. I have been going to Slashdot too. The second point as I need not remind you is that the Debian server was attacked and that was it.
