I guess this is a better way to go than being swatted with a newspaper.
On a more serious note, kudos to Mr. Gates for doing this. I actually had a patient who had malaria and she was the sickest human being that I've ever seen. She was a missionary and decided not to take her malaria pills because they made her sick. When she came to the e.r. we had no iea what was wrong with her until we called in a doctor that was originally from Africa and he recognized the symptoms immediately. We ended up flying her to Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem where she died a few days later. I've never forgotten her.

Mosquitoes are the deadliest creatures on earth. If Bill Gates can cause the little buggers go out with a smile on their faces, it's almost enough to make me like Windows.

Yeah, but can we count on the mosquitoes to always download the latest updates?

Bill Gates is finally doing something about bugs?
As often as Windows crashes, this can only be a Good Thing.

"When did you know you had do something about the ever rising mosquito population?"
"In third grade in Summer camp I heard that song, There's a skeeter on my Pe$er knock it off, knock it off."

A mosquito, folks, is a program routine that sucks money and processor usage outta your computers.
A programmer told me.

Why not just continue to buzz around your ear in the dark until you want to end it all, the way they do now ?

Manual Tomato: It was "whack it off".
And I saw the Killer Sex Mosquitos open for the Plasmatics back in '82.

This may make Pat Benatar reconsider her position on the weaponization of sex.
