Duck-Billed Catechist Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Not only that but it always felt like Gates became Mr Philanthropist right around the time that Microsoft's anti-trust problems started getting messy. I'm not saying the two are connected, and frankly, I dont know that it matters to the people that have benefited from his generosity. But when Microsoft gives out free computers to kids in Africa that can't afford it, are we sure it's not the classic case of giving out free samples to get the kids hooked?Could be that. Could also be just reaching middle age or realizing that his company was hugely successful and it was pointless to focus just on making money/building the company any more. Could be the specter of aging making him wonder what people would think of him after his death, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caliber66 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I can't fathom why you would feel the need to quantify generosity.It was simply a means to an end; i.e., to bring up religion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, the better angle is to get into a fight with bobbob about statheads vs. traditionalists. Is there such a thing as intangibles in baseball? If a stathead can't define it with OPS or VORP, does it exist? Science vs faith. Bill James vs. Lammycat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
