Just say it Bill, Windows can't handle it

I wonder if they take his word for it and rubber stamp his return.

 

God, I would hate to see his personal legal team. Yikes!!!

 

That special computer is probably a MAC!

J

 

I face the same issue. Except for me, they can't find a computer that will accept amounts that small.

 

I think they could do yours and mine on a casio calculator watch

 

I wish I had that problem.

 

Whats the steering wheel for?

 

its a driving simulator.
if you read the caption it says that is what computers will look like in 2004. ummmmmm... not quite.

 

Here is the approximate sum total of my return (that I've got stored on my own home computer):

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

 

Er, a real computer that runs Unix.

If you want to do real work you still use Unix ... everything else is just pretty pictures

Hmmm, it most likely is a Macintosh.

1) Easiest OS for an everyday IRS Gestapo to use
2) Macintosh.... The original GUI interface based on RISC tech.
3) Portable, cross compatable with Windoze

Subjective conclusion as to overall computer power, though very popular with the engineering community. Though your everyday IRS lackey won't go through the commands; AUX, GREP !, BARF, PUKE %

 

Ill agree, its a mac probably.

 

I was wondering if anyone would recognize that besides me!!

 

Er, lets see the application that the IRS use is that small and insignificant it does not have a large probably Oracle db hanging off the back ??? ... unlikely.

Thus yeah the USERS might sit in front of Macs, probably running Citrix or some other terminal emulator thingy ... but the real work will be on a server running Unix. The USERS ofcourse do not have to work with Unix ... but Unix still keeps the data up and available.

I work in a telecommunications company and even we run a Unix database for just storing phones we sell ... and that is piss easy compared to what I bet the IRS store.

Why do people still think computer systems are so simple that their desktop does all the work? ... yeah right, NOT on any REAL system I have used/designed and built, etc. Way back in my "Hello World" programming days at school maybe ...

You do realize that Mac OSX is actually built on top of Unix right? The entire underlying infrastructure is BSD Unix running a Mach microkernel. Users typically don't interact at this level, but the shell is available with full Unix functionality if you so desire.

BTW, you don't need Unix to connect to or run a commercial grade DB. If you have a large number of concurrent connections, it helps to have an OS that supports multiple processors of course, and Windows is somewhat lacking in this regard.

 

I thought it was to "navigate" the internet...

 

Wake me up when apple actually has market share.

wasn't he closer to 66 large ?

 

He put a lot ($23B) into his foundation.

Plus he's probably trying to keep up with the Jone's...oops, I mean Ellison's. Poor guy.

The IRS are using a Babbage differential engine, they can’t use anything else. **


Why ?

Gates had done a deal with Jobs. There is a backdoor on all current accounting software that rubber-stamps any return filed by either individual.

Don’t forget, one of the first things Hitler did on assuming power was pass a law leaving him exempt from income tax.....

If Bill Gates had a nickel for every time Windoze crashed ... oh wait, he does.
