@BassWrangler

Thank you for posting that.  It seems news posted here about any prominent person causes people here to call them names, say bad things about the person.

Bill Gates helped this country in great ways; without him, we would not be able to communicate like we do - one of his "inventions" is called a "computer".

Between the two of them, Bill and Melinda, they have billions of dollars - good for them; it is not a crime to have money.  I do not get people being mad because they have billions.

Wrangler, you are so right - it is their marriage and no one's business. 

"In his 84 years, Thomas Edison acquired a record number of 1,093 patents (singly or jointly) and was the driving force behind such innovations as the phonograph, the incandescent light bulb and one of the earliest motion picture cameras. He also created the world’s first industrial research laboratory."

Now, let's go search for his marriage, find out if he drank whiskey, etc., so we can hit on him for his inventions and the money he likely made.  22222frying pan

Am I the only one shocked at a financial "genius" that spent 77  MILLION bucks for a freaking town house?

Bill Gates did not invent the computer.  His company produced software to allow personal computers to be more accessible to the masses.

YES - HIS INVENTED SOFTWARE GAVE "US MASSES" A COMPUTER WE COULD WORK.  IT DID NOT AND DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER HE WAS, OR IS, MARRIED.

@thackney 

And IIRC,he bought the original Windows software from someone else.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. He was bright enough to spot what would sell,and had the bucks to buy and develop it,so he did.

Profits are what makes the world go around. You can have the best idea in the world,but if you have no money to promote and sell it,you are screwed. So you sell it to someone who does have the money  and the means to promote it,and try to get a cut of the profits if you can.

  He stole the idea of the Mouse from Xerox who hadn't figured out it's implications/importance. He settled a lawsuit about him stealing Windows in the 90's, I believe.  He's a Fraud.

Yes, I believe that is correct and why I said His company produced software rather than claim he invented it.

IIRC, he actually sold the production of the software before he owned it.

@sneakypete

The price is likely due to where the townhouse is located.  I own a townhouse and it is not at a beach or downtown New York City, or Los Angeles, therefore I can afford it.

I don't give a rabid rats ass if it is in the backyard of the White House,it's STILL a freaking townhouse,you are basically renting your own apartment in a building owned by someone else,on land owned by someone else. ALL that YOU  own is the right to live there.

Providing,of course,the other fools that bought into that apartment living idea are willing to ALLOW you to live there,that is.

I would rather own a freaking house trailer on a couple of acres that were MINE.

ANYBODY that spends 77 million on a townhouse is a freaking idiot.

Some may be that way.  I have owned a townhouse where all the building walls of my living space were mine to take care of and repair at my cost.  I owned the small piece of land for my building and fenced yard.  I was part of a "co-op" that owned community parts like the pool and clubhouse.

Bill Gates purchased what became MS-DOS (it was called Q-DOS at the time IIRC) from Tim Paterson of Seattle Computer Products for $50,000 after IBM had turned down the opportunity to purchase it and started giving it away with PCs.

I don't think Bill Gates has ever invented anything in his life, but he is a marketing genius.

In my case, the townhouses are separate. Our roofs do not connect.  I have a deed to the land and house.  It is paid for as I bought it for cash.  No one can make me leave that townhouse - I own it just like any other house.  I have my own insurance on it and that includes a flood insurance policy, read below:

Going on right now:  The whole of southeast Texas including numerous counties down to and including Houston/Galveston and into Louisiana right now, are experiencing huge amounts of rain/thunderstorms/some hail, and it is not stopping.  Reports say it continues into Thursday.  I am getting reports from that Texas area, and one said 2 1/2 inches came down in 30 minutes.

That's an incredible amount of rain, we could sure use a bit of your rain here @Victoria33    I haven't seen hail in FL since we've lived here.

Ok,  that I did not know ... I thought he came up with MS-DOS.  Indeed he is a marketing genius.  I still think the man is pure evil.

The abuse of children in the USA has to end.  Human trafficking should warrant only one sentence, a death sentence.  Anything less is just moronic.  We have become weak as a society where those that adhere to a deviant mindset actually are revered.  Disgusting.

It's difficult for a society to demonstrate that it values and protects the lives of children when abortion remains legal and subsidized by government.

Now corporate media is: "Gates is connected to Epstein, he's a pervert."
The narrative change was totally organic, sure.

While possibly true, how many people have used MS Windows 1.0 or 2.0? By the time the more popular Win 3.0 came out it was truly MS.

The Deciduous Fruit Computer Company bought the rights to use a GUI and mouse from Xerox PARC, but Xerox having the Inverse Midas Touch (they touched gold and it turned to @#$%), it took the Deciduous Fruit Computer Company to make all that profitable (after 1 or 2 tries - "Hello? Lisa?").

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Bill was angling for the Nobel Prize in rape, or something.
Quote
Bill Gates reportedly hoped Jeffrey Epstein would help him win a Nobel
By Lee Brown
May 18, 2021 | 11:08am

Bill Gates courted Jeffrey Epstein in the twisted belief the well-connected pedophile could help him get a Nobel Peace Prize, a former staffer claimed, according to a report Tuesday.

The Microsoft billionaire horrified staff with the meetings, which started in 2011 — when Epstein was already a convicted pedophile — and which reportedly left Gate’s wife Melinda so disturbed it helped drive the couple to divorce.

When his foundation’s PR team was first alerted to the friendship they were told it “was a maneuver to try to get himself a Nobel Peace Prize,” an anonymous foundation employee told The Daily Beast.

As well as staying at the multi-millionaire pervert’s Upper East Side mansion, Gates joined Epstein in a trip to Europe in March 2013, according to Dagens Næringsliv, Norway’s largest business newspaper.

The pair visited the Strasbourg home of Thorbjorn Jagland, who at the time was chair of the committee which awards the Peace Prize, the paper noted, saying Gates was being touted as a recipient at the time. ...
