    Nope! None whatsoever! And to prove it, here's a really good video of him:

    This video resides on my computer so... irunno, it might be a slow download. Watch it for the Bill Gates joke ;D

    I'm sure you use Ctrl-Alt-Delete more than any operation in xenogears or FF7. That's more art and writing that programming anyway.

    On a side note: I could never get up that tower of Solaris (or something like that) in Xenogears, it just really annoyed me whenever I fell, so I stopped playing it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> .

    On a second side note: Bill Gates has the most retarded "I'm so mad but I'll just call in an assassin later" smiles.

    <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo--> That's not a game that wins on technical merit. So, I guess if you forced the writers and artists and composers to each write a "hello world" program, you could nominate them.

    They would have to be really good hello worlds with 3d spinning letters and a ton of options.

    I dunno, there are some serious contenders for that honor:<ul><li>Linus Torvalds - Wrote the linux kernel.</li><li>Alan Cox - Annother Linux notable.</li><li>Richard M. Stallman - Wrote the GPL, founder of the Free Software Foundation, wrote EMACS (practically its own OS now), and a bunch of other GNU software.</li></ul>Just to name a few.

    Yea, even thougth Ctrl-Alt-Del is my main tool for fixing Windows problems for people, SkulkBait does bring up important people. Maybe if Win-nubbies could switch to Linux, Ctrl-Alt-Del wouldn't be needed. But, heh, like thats gonna happen... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
