Paul Allen, January 21, 1953 - October 15, 2018
▶ No.987369>>987375 >>987529
His death came as a genuine surprise to me because not only was he not that old but there was 0 signs he was in bad health. He'll he was working on the worlds largest plane before he died

IIRC he had cancer problems since he was in his 30s
Dude lasted a LOT
I read his book, is amazing how gates tried to fuck him over constantly, like when he first got cancer he and ballmer planned to take all his microsoft shares away. Allen only found out because despite his disease he went to work that day and overheard them.

Why, Allen was the real brains of the operation. He was basically Microsoft's Woz. It was always my understanding that Allen was the actual tech guy, Gates was the Business guy, and Ballmer was a leech that smelled money.
Actually now that I've typed it out, it makes more sense.

Gates had a temperament like Jobs though. That is to say, acerbic; caused him a lot of problems early on.

Every time I see someone use these terms it makes me roll my eyes and feel embarrassed for them. Calling things you dislike childish insults is elementary school-tier behavior and doesn't accomplish anything. It's enough to just say you dislike X and don't use it.

It would be better the kike was never born then to have fucked everything and anything so hard in the ass. Why is this sticked? Are the mods microfags who think his death is a bad thing? The answer is yes appearently.

Woz is a good guy who might protest bad things he sees. He sure is living a long time. Make sure nobody does the same thing to him. Apple is way more evil than Microsoft at this point, hard to believe.
Ballmer was controlled by his banker overlords. He couldn't push mobile the way he wanted. Satya came in and mothballed everything for no reason at all except CIA collusion with Apple and Google.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.

Stay salty and impotent, anons.
If you really thought Microsoft was a threat, you'd be doing something about it (such as publicizing Linux/contributing to FOSS software) instead of calling them mean names on an armenian monkey shaving board.
