Stop dodging my questions, you have the burden of proof on you when you say that Bill Gates did work, because it's much harder to find proof of a lack of something (e.g. lack of work) rather than proving that he did work. But fine, here;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates
Notice how the only thing he did was the BASIC interpreter. Ever since 1975 he was repsonsible for "the company's [Microsoft] product strategy" - aka slacking off and letting all the other people do the work. Heck, even later "Gates's role at Microsoft for most of its history was primarily a management and executive role. However, he was an active software developer in the early years, particularly on the company's
programming language products. He has not officially been on a development team since working on the
TRS-80 Model 100 line, but wrote code as late as 1989 that shipped in the company's products.".
Sure management and logistics might at some times be a bit hard - but since when should one get millions of dollars every day simply because of organizing stuff? That makes no sense - like I said, Turing consistently made far more important discoveries over the years (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing - just read it damn it), and yet he wasn't nearly as rich as Bill Gates - more work, less income, which was my point in the beginning and why I took the Bill Gates example.
Now I swear, if you counter this instead of presenting your own sources, I'll bang my freaking head against a wall.
