dear bill gates: choke on my fuck

Q: Some people hold Microsoft most accountable for security problems, even though software flaws are exploited by "bad guys," as you said. Is that a fair criticism?

Gates: Software in general, whether it was from Microsoft or somebody else, was not set up for an environment where all the computers were connected together. So it's not like there was some software that had this security capability and our software did not. As we use the Internet to connect everyone up, then the need to essentially have suspicion and only listen to certain other systems, and if flaws come up to have those updated very quickly, that became a new requirement.

It's about halfway down in this Seattle Post-Intelligencer interview.

Now be realistic, who would have ever thought that when the Internet was a DARPA project that this meant that it would be built in the Public Domain for the citizens of america.

I mean clearly that was just something that no one could have actually expected, now could they have really expected that computers would be used to do computing stuff in the Public Domain for citizens of america!

I mean who could ever have predicted that things that are done in the Public Domain for the citizens of America would actually, well, be kept in the public domain, and in the public interest, I mean when did Fox News tell americans that there was a reason to be aware of the internet.

...when they won Sweeps Week for exposing the evil hackers who want to steal your babies credit cards and sell photos of them to your adolescent teenage daughters on the internet chat web.
