Therefore, he needs to harness the driving forces to make it all work. The driving force is the customer's choice and money. So, he quickly makes sure the driving force for decoding the photons and delivering them to CDMA subscribers happens just so, so that the customer provides the fuel for the system [dosh]. Then Irwin takes the said fuel, sticks it back in the tank and comes up with the next great thing. He figures that if he can get enough fuel, with a high-enough octane rating, he can spin it up so fast that the speed of light will be meaningless and gravitons will go into reverse. [He might catch up to my GSRS if I'm not careful]. $ill Gates does NOT innovate. He acquires. Then causes a blue screen of death. I am sure that they will laughing riotously in Redmond while they stick pins in their Mqurice doll. Either that or the SEC is laughing that the virus they uploaded has cleaned me out and they can blame it on $ill. Or you are an evil commie spy from China who has taken over from that Wang guy who got caught and you done it [it is very suspicious that you appeared here just when I got blown up]. I'd blame Dweeber, but he's too dumb to have done it. Did I mention that the USA is the greatest, most ethical, beautiful and harmonious place on earth and the people the most wondrous, intelligent, kind and supreme beings to walk on earth since at least the time of the dinosaurs? God loves America! Mqurice Psst, where can I get a bible and some Prozac?
