FurnaceBoyschestowitz: he can't hide it forever. The evidence of his 'press for hire' will come outSep 05 00:48
schestowitzAnother example is the AFT, the American Federation of Teachers, where Bill Gates gave AFT $3.4M for “teacher quality initiatives” and $217, 200 for AFT conference expenses. See: Did Bill Gates Buy His Podium at the AFT Convention? Sometimes a breakdown of the numbers provides a more clear picture of the power and influence of money.Sep 05 00:48
schestowitzThen there is money “with stipulations” that the Gates Foundation provided to NPR. The purpose of that money is “to support coverage of education issues on NPR programs, including the Morning Edition and All Things Considered”. The amount provided was $750,000. I don’t feel comfortable with that on many levels.Sep 05 00:48
schestowitz"Sep 05 00:48
schestowitz"There was also $301,768 given to Minnesota Public Radio. The purpose stated was to “strengthen the quality and quantity of reporting on issues related to the nation’s low college completion rates” which plays into the Gates’ agenda. The sad part is that NPR felt the need to take the money and potentially provide a skewed viewpoint on issues in education or report on some aspects of ed reform and not others."Sep 05 00:48
schestowitz"Then there is the pocket-money for the Alliance for Education under the heading “general operating support” for $3,000 and the junket to Denver for $6,000 “to support a delegation of Seattle Public School district officials to meet with Brad Jupp and the administration in Denver for “best practices” on teacher labor agreements”. Denver, by the way, is being converted to all things ed-reform. Gates is financing much of thatSep 05 00:49
schestowitz"The list goes on but by now you’re probably starting to get the big picture. Broad and Gates have decided what is best for our children based on no experience in education and none of their own  children or grand children in public schools. There has been no dialogue between parents and teachers."Sep 05 00:49

oiaohmBasically longer MS is looking the wrong way wasting resources attacking items like advocacy the better.Sep 05 10:45
oiaohmThink about it Mono correctly pushed could have damaged Linux future development.Sep 05 10:46
MinceRhow?Sep 05 10:46
oiaohmMS could have been selling windows update system for Linux.  Sharepoint for Linux ....  Attempting to make all development .net based.   Then release a OS that at core is designed to run .net wellSep 05 10:48
oiaohmLinux is not really designed to run .net or java based Languages to there max.  MinceRSep 05 10:48
MinceRicSep 05 10:48
oiaohmMS forgot there basic old rules.Sep 05 10:49
MinceRthey would have probably failed with thatSep 05 10:49
oiaohmEmbrace.Sep 05 10:49
MinceRbefore they could release that new OS, people would have moved on to GNU/LinuxSep 05 10:49
oiaohmMS never has truly attempted to properly Embrace Linux.Sep 05 10:49
MinceRalso, they couldn't ever design anything that functioned wellSep 05 10:49
MinceRalso, that new OS would have ran pre-.NET apps badly, and thus would have been doomed to fail.Sep 05 10:50
oiaohmAlso in that mix would have been a MS own fileserver for Linux.Sep 05 10:50
oiaohmBasically full embrace.Sep 05 10:50
oiaohmCause open source projects not to have a home anywhere away from microsoft.Sep 05 10:50
MinceRbesides, what idiot would buy winblows update for gnu/linux?Sep 05 10:50
MinceRit sucks horribly even on winblowsSep 05 10:51
oiaohmOf course MS doing this would fail because they fail at doing quality software.Sep 05 10:51
MinceRand on gnu/linux the package managers take care of updatesSep 05 10:51
oiaohmRemember in this game MS still would have the advantage.Sep 05 10:51
oiaohmIe own protocals.  MinceRSep 05 10:51
oiaohmNow leave Linux to its own devices and it can develop its own path and need MS less and less.Sep 05 10:52
MinceRand that's part of why i'd have been reluctant to adopt .net even if they licensed the patents properlySep 05 10:52
oiaohmYep screwing up the patent licensing was trying to have foot on both sides.Sep 05 10:52
oiaohmIe embrance and not embrance at the same time it don't work.Sep 05 10:53
