The Internet is abuzz today after Bill Gates published an image on his Facebook page and a link towards his website with the text "15 years from now, most people in poor countries will be able to take classes online." It's a sound goal and it's perfectly doable, but in the image posted on Facebook the operating system is Ubuntu.

As a former Microsoft CEO and the founder of what we call today Windows, you might think that he would pay a little more attention towards his message, but this particular detail has slipped past the radar of the ones posting on Facebook, unless he did that himself, which would be even funnier.

    I dunno about him, but when I read your posts in this thread my eyes glaze over. They seem meaningless and random. I'm sure it makes sense to you, but at best the coherency and topicality are quite low.

    Sometimes I suspect that he wouldn't pass a turing test himself, despite his incoherent ramblings about bots and trolls. Whatever, I'm done with this thread. Sorry to drag things off topic.

    there are some who complain about the state of others contribution.

    I simply picked some topics, and some angle from which I presented them.

    Now to the questions:
    1. do you have an ontopic answer to my contribution
    2. does any of you think that I am actually stupid?

    let us engage in this debate
