>Said Steve Ballmer at Microsoft' shareholder meeting:

Y'know, this was argued at slashdot today. And the thing that I think
everyone missed is that the entire meeting can't have lasted more than
about ten minutes. I mean, hello? Largest software company in the

of:

Q: "Why aren't there more women"
A: "Please don't ask that question"

Repeated over and over again.

Sack of shit.
