    Had to check CNN in case the uber geek died or something. But, I guess it's just the floppy.

    Bill Gates is not the ubergeek. That coveted mantle is currently held by Donald Knuth.

    It makes you think though... how much of an impact would Bill Gates death have upon the IT community?

    Even if you have some weird unconnected hatred for him, you're going to miss him.
