News has it that Bill Gates has received the honorary knighthood from HRH Queen Elizabeth... Gates cannot use the "Sir" title because he is an American... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3428673.stm
I bet they call him SIR at the BANK of ENGLAND also........and I bet they did it before the queen who really means nothing, it is something to make the queen look important, Gates already is.......
That sucks ,,, let's close our borders to all brits never mind, they spend a lot of money in San Diego every year
My question is this: should we really care if he was knighted or not. And what difference does it make one way or the other?
It is all about money just like the war in Iraq, anyone that believes otherwise is too young to know any better
I want to know how I can achieve knighthood... Will building a super dee duper website make a knight? What was the reasons that Gates received his? Besides being the richest man in the world and donating a fortune to charity....
Sir Mick Jagger, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Bill Gates, next Sir Wacko Jacko, where will this crap end What do these Sirs have in common, fame and money.
I find the comments on "the other side" very disturbing, on the "right side" there is a pic of Gates and Liz and it says "Bill Gates chats with the Queen about computers". Come on, that's like Shawn talking about the coop network in Kindergarden.
Forget Pravda, Micro$oft is the place to go for propaganda! Congrats to ZDNet for posting the other side of the story.
I'm paying an awful lot of money to the government bastards every month funding their bullshit like knighting Gates. You'd be surprised how much tax payers' money goes to waste on the likes of William, Harry, Charles and the Queen. What do we get in return? They slay some foxes, throw huge weddings, spend our money as drinking money whilst abusing press etc. etc.
Whats with all the sourness here? I must be a wonderful accomplishment. Gates signifies the best, brightest, and most innovative. He has had a major impact on the world and he gives alot of money to charity, etc. I have no prob.
Yes, and he is intent on taking over the world. The irony is, Bill "claims" to be producing a stable OS, and Linus "claims" to be trying to take over the world. Did Linus say that just to make a point about Sir Gates?
It could just be a ruse by Lizzy to get Bill Gates face-to-face and to come an look at her PC and sort out the rouge p0rn-diallers Prince Phillip has left on there.
