"Dilbert's Scott Adams kicked off the idea in his November 19th blog post, saying there isn't anything wrong with this country that President Bill Gates couldn't cure in less time than it takes to get a new operating system out the door. Today, the idea is moving forward with a brand-new 'Bill Gates for President' Web site. Adams is also back on the campaign trail, flogging the site and Gates' candidacy."

A blog post at Network World includes a lot of eye-rolling about this idea, but neither Adams nor the folks at the 'Gates for President' website seem to be taking this lightly.

they choose the president that is gonna win .. they never get elected for real by the population.

that's a fact and it happened two terms in a row by frauded election. Even the 2006 partial was frauded but the dem win is meaningless in reallity they are even protecting him from impeachment. If you heard the oposite, well it's lies over and over again. If he would have to be impeached, and he should with all the rest of these cowards, it would have been done a long time ago.

When I said they .. I mean all the corporate elites supporting them along with these secret societies

Not 100% fixed, but "they" certainly alter a sway.

I don't think Gates has the political asperations yet though. I see him being able to do more of what he wants in his current position, than as president. I honestly feel it would harm Microsoft in some ways too.

Who on earth could possibly think this is a good idea?

What's next? Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor of California? If that happened, US politics would go from being a joke to a farce. :rolleyes:

EDIT: My post would have been better had it arrived 2 minute earlier.

he probably won't listen to all us internet geeks for him being president.. hes got microsoft on the go, he doesn't need the world too.

he wouldn't know where to begin to start being president. I'm pro gates, but he's not fit to be a president.. the US needs an idiot.... someone dumber like borat

Does he actually have any understanding of how to be a president?

WTF MACS?

he actually owns part of Apple, and helps build up apple's popularity. he doesn't want to dominate and be all secretive about computers, hes trying to share his gift with the world, and help the computer industry prosper.

Man, you are really on an Anti-Microsoft campaign this evening :whistle:

No. I like and use Microsoft software. I also have a lot of respect for Bill Gates's business acumen. However, I will laugh if someone calls Bill Gates "charasmatic", and I will not support WGA.

To call that "anti-microsoft" is almost demonstrating a troll like fanboyism imo. :whistle:

    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now

      Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).
