I think the story is a little more complex than that. The man is now supporting the largest philanthropic organization in the world with assets totaling ~40 Billion. Granted some of his business tactics were/are ethically dubious but at the end of the day the man is trying his best to change the world for the better.

You could argue that he has a fortune and thus it is easier for him to give it away or that his motives are sinister. But nevertheless, in the end he will do much more than you or I will ever in our lifetimes to improve the world and for that he earns my respect.

It seems in some cases maybe the ends justify the means

apparently the largest tv ever built was 76"

oddly enough 1178 people have already voted for the 2000" tv...

With the recent death of the goatse.cx guy, we need a new goatse.cx guy. This is your opportunity to be the next goatse.cx guy!!! Mail your answers to the following questions to CmdrTaco at malda@slashdot.org.

1. On a scale of 1 to 10 how would you rate the looseness of your anus? (1 being incredibly tight, 10 being incredibly loose)

2. If you rated the looseness of your anus under 9, would you be interested in a looser anus?

3. Why do you want to be the goatse.cx guy?

4. If the looseness of your anus is less than a 9 do you have any problem with CmdrTaco shoving taco shells up your anus and smashing them?

5. If the looseness of your anus is greater than or equal to 9, do you still want your anus to be looser?

6. Do you have any objections to being naked whenever you are in the slashdot compound? (except for butt plugs if you wish to wear them)

7. Will you engage in taco snotting with CmdrTaco to become the next goatse.cx guy?

8. Will you sign a wavier that any injuries caused by goats will not cause you to sue CmdrTaco, slashdot.org, and/or goatse.cx?

9. Please provide an email address so we can contact you.
