"Hello, my name is Bill Gates. I have been the richest person in the world for
like a decade now, yet I cannot get my company's product's most critical data
storage subsystem to behave in a deterministic manner. Nor have I been able to
find a competent hair stylist. Yet I am still the richest man in the world.
