Bill Gates debunks 'coronavirus vaccine is my 5G mind control microchip implant' conspiracy theory

Hoe

Just LOL...

Who comes up with this sh*t?!

I mean the guy retired years ago and just dedicated himself to giving his money away, but not stupidly but to good causes which he verifies himself.

Quite a switch to mind control, if the guy was still power hungry wouldn't he still be running Microsoft?!

He has every right to take over control of MS today and run it his own way but he doesn't, now after years of retirement he wants to control people? Just doesn't add up.

I suggest we respond with equally stupid articles like...

"It's true it's mind control and the only way to stop it is to jump form a really high cliff or building, you won't die it will just kill the chip!"

Let Darwin take over as if you'll believe this sh*t you'll believe anything!

P.S. I've been switching to Linux recently, must be Bill's doing lol. ;)

English is English. American's speak US English which is a derivative but it's not the same language, in English Cheque is Cheque. Colour is Colour etc.

Also just because 100's millions type something wrong doesn't make it right, otherwise the correct way to write OH MY GOD in 2020 would be OMG!!!! Back would be BK and god know what else, eventually it probably will be but no for some time yet.

840m People speak English or a version of it, US are just a small slice of that, at least most the other countries get it right! ;)

Re: I understand

There is that then there is also the fact you have to leave Port 80 and Port 443 open for it to negotiate the renewal which is so fustrating, I renew, close 80 wait for the notice, open 80 renew manually then close Port 80 again.

Why O Why can they not just renew it through Only Port 443?!

Seriously when will people learn to use decent Passwords?! Been beating this stick for as long as I can remember and yet still in 2020 it's a problem.

It seemed for a while that companies were starting to enforce password security but those efforts appear to be a distant forgotten memory.

Like these 'SmartHome' devices which fixed default passwords and the like, just a joke, forget GDPR we need to get this **** put into Law, force companies to force users to set secure passwords, it's the only way and the sonner re realise it the better!

I was called many, many names at school and Nerd \ Geek was always pretty high up there but they were also the two which really didn't bother me, mind you I have a pretty thick skin in that regards, words don't me a lot to me people use them losely to say the least, though that's not to say they nver did!

I remember back in support days the amount of time I would ask a user if they have rebooted to be told yes, then when I checked the NIC card it's been connected for 18 days or something stupid, but sure yeah they rebooted this morning, just my reboot there and then just happened to work! :/

The BS people talk, mind you can you blame them? After alll if our Politians are the example we should be lead by then the only thing we should ever say truthfully is out name, or you wife's name if it's a speeding ticket!

Help! I bought a domain and ended up with a stranger's PayPal! And I can't give it back

Funny I was thinking just last night, should I move my Paypal to my Domain Email Account, as I hardly use my Yahoo one for much these days other than Paypal.

I nearly did too but couldn't be arsed and thought this weekend, suddently I don't want to thanks, I think I'll move it to gmail instead, not that I am planning to let my Domain exprie but still not wort the risk!

Re: comfy chair or thumbscrews

He should lose anyway IMO, a 'spent conviction' is still an conviction, would you want a former bank robber running your bank just because he hasn't been caught for X years, I doubt it.

It maybe legally spent but in my opinion this is valid public information and useful at that.

I seem to remember reading that it was a previous fraud conviction but maybe wrong, if not though I can't really see how this isn't information which should remain public!

Vodafone's spending pays off - but EE hangs on to UK network crown

Hoe

Re: Vidafone .....

Vodafone, great network?!

Not in St.Albans it's not, they removed their one antena and shafted everyone in the area, I know many have switched since this mess including my dad who with 20 years with Vodafone has switched so we can once again get reception at home, also vastly overpriced compared to competitors based on recent research for my dad's upgrade!

Can't complain at EE been very good for me in every aspect, WIFI Calling is a god-send though I believe the other networks are finally getting involved in this.

Three lost my support with the contact UPGRADE calls I used to get, even when NOT DUE!!!

O2 who I used to work for are just miles behind.

Currently there is no real competition in the UK market IMO, EE in a league of their own which is a shame for consumers!!!

Virgin Media seems to have some great deals these days, also they use EE backbone which is nice, but it concerns me that I could sign up with them then they can switch to another backbone provider at anytime completely changing the offering, same with all the providers who piggy back.

SIM Only don't be tied down best way to go IMO, pay for a handset up front, if you cant switch SIM only save then buy it, get insurance through Bank (cheaper and easier)!

Though not sure about anyway else but even as a Techie I can't find reason to upgrade from an S7 Edge it does everything more than well enough, anyone else struggling to find a good reason to upgrade?!

I can see a slow down in the mobile market coming in the next few years!

Mile per crash for Human's is far, far higher than Mile per crash for Autonomous but that doesn't seem to be newsworthy.

That said I get the concern and it's rightful as there is still a number of unsolved issues some of which are pretty damn big and important and I am not sure Tesla can be trusted to police this roll out which is how it appears to be happening.

Major Rethink...

The world will require a major rethink in the next 100 years probably a lot less, sooner or later we will either have to switch from a money driven economy based or everyone working.

To a recreational driven economy where anyone works by choice rather than necessity!

The problem with that is though, if you destroy money, you destroy power and there is people with far too much power who will do anything to stop that day coming!

This is a very valid and worrying point, you can bet he'll be public enemy number 1 now with many yet as you say he has been proven of nothing.

All to often the big internet based crimes do pay and people pay a portion of their earning back sometimes a huge portion and every now and again someone gets a crippling fine but that is about it. :/

The fact he could pay back 1.13m shows he must have made more as surely he spend some over those years...maybe he has legit businesses I don't know but all to often the numbers show it does pay, very well at times.

They don't get the punishment a drug dealer or a violent criminal does no matter how much they earn.

Um break the web, really?

How would this break the web, you said in the article yourself it would only bloke HMTL5 Content!

That means most the old sites which people don't update will be fine as they don't use HTML5, in fact the only ones which do are likely active, it won't stop people doing what they are doing now but it will mean it'll cost to use the new features essentially.

Maybe they should just focus on some of the features like GEO-Location and other potentially private or sensitive items as you suggest.

Microsoft: Here, we'll make it easy for you Gmail lot. Meet our Outlook.com movers

Re: Change of address

I am pretty sure they are referring to Google Apps & Outlook.com both of which allow you to use your own personal domain so no need to change address if this already exists.

Furthermore this will be aimed more as businesses which may have many user accounts in gmail which they would otherwise need to export, import etc.

All in all a good idea then if they want to get Google customers which we all know they do.
