Bill Gates
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this!
To anyone with kids of any age, here's some advice.

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11
things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about
how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation
of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them
up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world
will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel
good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school.
You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity.Your
Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it
opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine
about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring
as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills,
cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool
you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from
the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the
closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers,
but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing
grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get
the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to
ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers
off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND
YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually
have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working
for one

nice 1, mates, but I simply have one thing to say

Bill Gates SUCK, everything that is evolved in Microsoft fails, Microsoft IS a failure, just easy to use. LINUX is the thing \m/

Also, I wont be here for long, I am simply sitting on my school computer >.<

a several billion $ failure, I wish I could fail like MS.

and linux easy to use, the last time installed new drivers, it took serveral hours and messing around in 4 config files. plus it did not hvae drivers for my sound card.
The only way to use linux is via a command line (as I do) and you can tell the gui's were designed by people in there mothers basement.
By the way I do have a linux box which I use for IRC and for running my IRC bots.

Nothing beats LINUX, you can do whatever you want with it, and it's damn hard to get a virus on it, you'll be good to get one :p.

Ummm lets see you run steam, oh yeah you need to emulate windows to do that.

and the only reason Linux doesn't hvae many viruses is that there are not enough home users to make it worth while. It's been shown that linux has enough holes that can be used if people wanted to.

Personally I happy to use windows for home machine / games / dev stuff and Linux for server work.
