World’s dumbest high-tech billionaire at it again. Hard on the heels of his New Mexico climate experiment and his failed 2009 giant-tub proposal for stopping hurricanes, Bill Gates held a “Reinvent the Toilet” fair in Seattle. He wants a better toilet for developing countries that don’t have running water. Here’s a crazy idea, Bill: why not just give the poor slobs running water?

Can't they just use a cop car, like everyone else does?
Let me see...how to poop without running water-
humm....
I know..it's called a "hole" in the ground
Here in the sticks we called it a "outhouse".
Pay up Bill
Is he praying to Obama?
I don't get the Gates hate. I lost my feeble 90's MS hate (IT required) when I brought home an XBox with Halo in 2002..
A compost toilet won't power an LED. Not yet anyways. Bill wants a sci-fi crapper that will charge a laptop and brush your teeth, powered by the sun and feces. Creepy, but it's the third world. Not seeing the issue
No one hates him, he's just getting to be a silly old fart.
hmmmm biden twin powers activated.
My take on this: http://goo.gl/MI7Ap
"Special Cheryl Crow Edition only dispenses only one piece of TP per use no matter how horrendous of a dump you just took."
Ok, now I can't quit giggling.
Looks like Bill Gates is finally designing the correct receptacle for his software.
I'm pretty happy with most of MS products, all but Explorer which I agree is dreadful.Got no problems with Windows and they did put out a lot of good games. Use Office at work for my own stuff, and the only reason I don't at home is because it's so hard to get a reliable cracked hack of it -- I mean I use the legitimately free OpenOffice Suite.
I love Open Office. IE is terrible, but mainly for gaming and such. I use Firefox for Facebook and the games I play there.
I'm not in the least interested in Apple products, I think they're terribly overpriced.
firefox is my browser.
ie has always suckled donkey s**longs
and Africans will only steal the supplies and misappropriate the funds, if history tells us anything.
I don't care which country in Africa it might be tested on. History bears study and understanding.
Hey, guess where those "developing country" toilets will be going once he gets them perfected? Yep, right into your home via government fiat.
Yeah, like GE's better light bulbs.
I don't know if the location had anything to do with it, but it was right near San Francisco, in an Air Museum. I had to use the rest room. I gave up after flushing 4 times. It just wasn't doing any good. Went to wash my hands after, and used more water, with an automatic shut off faucet, than the 4 flushes had used. Yeah, that thing saves water, alright.
Sounds like a bunch of shit to me.
Someone is full of shit.
I would respond in kind but it's late and I'm pooped.
Better than being constipated.
Yep, bound to be.
Aye Yie Yie! Actually, it was no big thing.

That IS what she said.

bet yours is bigger than mine
I stepped on one of those once - that's when I learned what a "carbon footprint" is.
That's right, you have left your cow patty landmines all over this site.
What a bunch of bullshit.
Now, don't you go handing me that line of manure, I know how much you love to get that mental exercise these pun threads provide.
I could do better, but it would be a waste.
Is that the best nugget of wisdom you got?
Well don't get down in the dumps about it.
oh crap, another thread of puns
Just ass I thought.
Optimist: this glass is half full.
Pessimist: this glass is half empty.
Gates: this glass is twice as big as is needs to be. It should only take $47 billion to redesign it.
Fine as long as he spends his money to redesign it. Then he will write it off of his taxes.....wait.....he is a filthy rich liberal that donates tons to the DNC/CPUSA. He is exempt from taxes.
But after he designs it, it will be built in Bangladesh or India by teenagers just out of a six week tech school earning 25 cents per hour, and will be buggy and very difficult to use.
be buggy and very difficult to use. thus ensuring job stability.
And employing tens of thousands of tech support people. In India. (heavy Indian accent) "Hello, my name is Greg, how may I help you?"
He's not really EXEMPT. Just has a lot of good hiding places.
Gates is the 'Megamouth' of 'Microcrap', If he would just quit talking, there would be less shit to deal with.
Bill - Duh! They already have composting toilets and toilets that burn the waste. Try looking online dipstick!
Trouble is, Internet Explorer is notoriously buggy so cruising the Internet is problematic for the poor sap. It's much easier to just throw a few billion at a "Toilet Fair" where they serve good coffee and tell him how wonderful he is.
BG probably uses Chrome.
