MSN Start Page.
Just another start page. Something like the Google start page, but looks better.
MSN Start Page (convenientely placed at www.start.com) is pretty cool. Third version of the start series.
To “start”, go to http://www.start.com/3/ and answer the questions that boasts about the MSN search technology. When you’re done, you’re presented with a link to the start page.
If you really don’t feel like doing that 5 question quiz, click here. (hehe)
Looks great. Integrates with the MSN search. With some cool links, and you can integrate it into your dashboard. Very cool. But all of the news items are feeds. Heh. Of course.
I guess you can use this as your start page, if you don’t mind the MSN searching. I added it to my handful of Firefox homepages.
Next thing, there is a site called BillGatesIsDead.com. As you probably know, it is a stupid site. As you probably also know, Bill Gates is not dead.
This Jack Purdue guy here curating is a stupid person.
News stories: point into his cgi-bin, and uses this setup:
http://www%2Elatimes%2Ecom@209.61.162.98/news/front/20000420/t000012986.html or http://www.latimes.com@209.61.162.98/news/front/20000420/t000012986.html
(links disabled)
Oldest trick in the book. Seems like this guy’s IP is precisely 209.61.162.98. Or something like that. This is NOT the real link, this is going to trick someone to thinking that this is the real one.
Plus, the links don’t even work.
The video guy could be some other guy dressed as him, in the “Citizens for Truth” video.
If he is dead, how can he write a book in 2001, two years he was “killed”?
A few years ago, I went to this site. Thinking it was stupid, I went into discussion.
RE: He is NOT Dead.

Posted By: Bill Einstein (a24431@netscape.net)Calm Down. I am a computer expert, Here. He is my best hero. I read about 50 books on him. He is my american dream, too. I have proof that Bill Gates was a tragic victim. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/billgates/bio.asp. Go the beginning of the seventh paragraph. It says:
In 1999, Gates wrote Business @ the Speed of Thought, a book that shows how computer technology can solve business problems in fundamentally new ways. The book was published in 25 languages and is available in more than 60 countries. Business @ the Speed of Thought has received wide critical acclaim, and was listed on the best-seller lists of the New York Times, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal and Amazon.com.
How can he write a book-a FULL book when he is dead?!?!
A computer Expert
(of course, so many years ago, I was so full of myself. Now the links do not work.)
Anyway, now, I emailed Jack Perdue with this:
Dear Jack Perdue:
I am now fully convinced that BILL GATES IS NOT DEAD. I am sorry. I don’t believe it. Let’s see if you can get YOUR news articles working on the front page first, and then let’s see if you can actually get REAL articles, not from your cgi-bin, from the REAL articles, and then let’s see if I can believe it.
You say you got proof? It is 2005 here, buddy. Not 2003. 2005. 2005. 2005. 2005. 2005. 2005. 2005. 2005. 2005. 2005. 2005. Your site was last updated 2003. Gates was “killed 1999″.
The “proof” video is completely fictious. Could that be another person right there? Huh? I am currently awaiting a reply email from my friend Bill Gates right now, as I have his email, of course.You are very stupid to waste money setting up a site like this, plus the citizens for truth, plus a video to “prove” this.

A mailer-daemon, of course.
Now, focus on this part.

It is what it is. Account inactive. End of story.
The question is: why did Perdue set up a useless website that I had wasted an hour of my life, an hour that I will never see again, researching on? One would think that Jack was jealous of Gates. I think not.
Would I be crazy to think that Perdue was planning to assassinate Gates? Probably, I would not believe it myself.
