UCB Student calls out Gates

[EyeMWing]

I GUARANTEE Microsoft will offer that kid a job. Just for fun. They're sadistic bastards like that.

It's the only place you can graduate, have your own office right away, and make 4x what you normally would right away.

Take out filthy and you might have a point 😛

I'd go there just for the intellectual stimulation. They may be very liberal, but they're also very smart...the best way to improve your thinking is to interact with smart people who disagree with you. Not that I would expect YOU know much about that 😀

This was pretty sub-par for Berkeley, there are a lot better ways to call MS out than that.

sooo true!

when you are smarter than the average population you have more opinions, and tend to be a wee bit more liberal

No. I work for a big ass company and they make it very clear, very often that even the appearance of impropriety is not acceptable. One bad apple can embarass the company, damage the company's reputation, drive customers elsewhere to do business, or even deliver products that may kill or injure people. They tell workers if they come across any questionable situations or grey areas at the workplace, to ask their manager or legal department for guidance.

I used to work for a scandalous company that did many, many shady, illegal or immoral things and I'm proud now that the company i work for strongly supports responsible behavior from all it's workers.


That being said, this guy who's talking trash to gates is just some little guy trying to be a big man.

Bill Gates should have said:

"Thanks kid. You have just convinced me to donate my money elsewhere."

Thank god for FOSS.

well I think we all know Berkeley kids are smart. It's one of the top universities in the country after all.

But one thing is for sure... a large percentage of the girls there are ugly as hell. My friend kept talking about his Berkeley goggles after being there for only 2 weeks.

hell, if i ever get recruited by MS, i'll take my whole apt out for dinner

I don't know a damn thing about computer programming, but I wouldn't mind scoring a job with MS!
