For those that know the legendary story of how Microsoft got to prominence, it was actually Paul Allen that suggested they buy that operating system from a developer in Seattle for $50k. And then Gates licensed and sold it to IBM for millions. And eventually billions. And so, DOS was born.

Such a creative guy.
My younger self looked up and wanted to be just like his best creation Spider-man. As such he’s in some small way responsible for my moral compass, love of quips and overcoming my childhood fear of spiders. Nuff said. The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer. -Attributed to Buzsaw Message 53 The explain to them any scientific investigation that explains the existence of things qualifies as science and as an explanation-Attributed to Dawn Bertot Message 286 Does a query (thats a question Stile) that uses this physical reality, to look for an answer to its existence and properties become theoretical, considering its deductive conclusions are based against objective verifiable realities.-Attributed to Dawn Bertot Message 134

I never heard of him until Big Bang Theory - but I recognized him in his cameos in the movies based on his characters. He went out on top.And our geese will blot out the sun.

That’s awesome.
