#1 Of course students should not be taught Mathematics. Euler, Weierstrass, Gauss, Lagrange, Dirichlet, piff, cis white males. No need at all to teach their stupid ideas. Don't need 'em! (sarc)

#2 

It would seem we have a Billionaire Elitist class now seeking to control their self-declared Serfdom.

Maybe we need to demand a law where all politician donations be limited to 2x $5 per that US CITIZEN per election and NO businesses.

Violators charged with a felony (2yr 1 day common imprisonment and 10% of their Gross Income.)

Otherwise the Rich/Elitist class will continue to OWN every election and the person elected.

He's kind of been that way for decades and decades it's just nobody wants to admit it.

The minute Balmer (of the balmar dance fame) was made a top executive or when that weird attempt at an emotional windows was made nobody even had a nervous tick...

#8 Oh and if you want snark.
One can make a strong strong case that a bunch of interrupt routines and schedulers tied together by some dynamic tables is not an operating system.
Sort of the reason that M$S networks, like Azure, run on top of Linux.

#9 he started out using 'BASIC' and when Wm graduated from college. He was approached by IBM to provide an OS for the new IBM PC. Supposedly he declined and suggested a small provider who happened to be out hang-gliding for the day and so was born Microsoft where (2+2)=5 for large values of 2.

#11 If math is racist then computers must also be and that would make Gates the biggest racist in the world.

#14 Uloluns White2720. I remember CP/M. Used it on a couple of machines. It was much better than MS-DOS.

#15 One nice thing was if you ran a multi-tasking program on top of CP/M it ran fine. MS-DOS would crash. Something wasn't "clean" in register usage in MS-DOS.

#18 If Bill and Melinda weren't filthy rich, they'd be looked at like snake oil salesmen back in the 1800s.
