    Bill Gates projects

    Here's a couple of links to interesting Gates projects to peruse if you've a spare day or so:
    • Gates has made available, free to Microsoft users, lectures given by Feynman (filmed by the BBC in the 1960s) "The Character of Physical Law". The lectures are at a fairly basic level and are entertaining if only to see one of the greatest physicists of all time captured on film.

    • Gates is also involved in the development in a type of nuclear breeder proposed in the 1950s. His "Travelling Wave reactor" is probably a bit more hyped than deserved, being one of several breeder designs in development today, but it is interesting anyway.

        No, 'only' a lawyer who knows how to hack...

        yet 'only' is being the scariest combination one can think off.
        Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

          They don't care where he's from as long as he has lots of Earth money.

            'reactor_emergency_shutdown.exe' quit unexpectedly, please manually delete de_runify_reactor2.dll and re-run the program before attempting to shutdown the reactor. Reactor Shutdown will canceled and everyone will die. Please upgrade to Reactor Shutdown 3.0 after everyone has died.
