I’m Bill Gates, co-chair.....and windows 8 !

[geXXos]

Ha, i found this on reddit, r/IAmA while examining some q/a about c# and win8, you believe it or not is Bill Gates who actually submited a link, and gave a laconic answer from his heart about win8.
In general this dialogue from the redditors is really amusing.

Q. from a redditor

Windows 7 or Windows 8?
Be honest Bill.

A. from Bill Gates
Higher is better

Someone made a hilarious comment based on B.Gates answer

Officer: Do you know why I stopped you?
Guy:     Is there an officer, problem?
Officer: Exactly how much marijuana did you smoke?
Guy:     Bill Gates said higher is better.

In that case Windows 98 is better than windows 8

Lol that's a good notice

And 3.1 is better then 98 or 8 because 3.1 is a float and 98 or 8 is just a small int.

windows NT is better than all as it uses two undefined variables.

It actually uses two chars, which are 1 byte each, so still win3.1 is bigger as it uses a float which is 8 bytes long.

No, string data are never small as one or two bytes.
String/char data like "NT"  are ints (average 4 bytes). According to ASCII character set. N and T have their charecter values like 127 and 196 (random guess) or something close to that.

Its actually 3 bytes in ASCII because each char can be represented by 16 bits = 3 bytes. so two chars = 6 bytes while a float is still more as it is 8 bytes.

The only way that NT would take more space then a float is if it is using Unicode, which can use up to 8 bytes for a single char in a string sometimes.

Anyway, we went quite far of topic

Correction, 8 bits = 1 byte.
Meaning 16 bits = 2 byte.
so 2 chars = 8 byte (4 byte per char/int)
Also, lets feed ths troll NO MORE.

LOL, cant believe I actually said that 16bits equal 3 bytes
I don't know what I must have been on that time.

I must be losing it

just say  you were thinking in binary 1+1 =3 that way

thats actually a good excuse
