neg: TVGoHome TVGoHome was a website which parodied the television listings style of the British magazine Radio Times . It was produced fortnightly from 1999 to 2001 , and sporadically until 2003 , by Charlie Brooker . The site now exists only in archive form . TVGoHome columns also appeared for a short time in Loaded magazine , sometimes edited from their original web version .   The website gained a cult following , partly due to its tie-up with the technology newsletter Need To Know , and its use of strong language , surreal imagery and savage satire reminiscent of the work of Chris Morris . Indeed , Morris himself contributed on occasion , under the pseudonym ` Sid Peach ' . Regular targets for ridicule were the Daily Mail , Mick Hucknall of Simply Red , and the TV presenters Rowland Rivron and Nicky Campbell . TVGoHome '' 's most consistent target , however , was fictional . Nathan Barley , an ex-public-school media wannabe living off his parents ' wealth , had his life chronicled in a fly-on-the-wall documentary series ( in the TVGoHome universe ) entitled simply ` Cunt ' . Detailing Barley 's life in comfortably wealthy Westbourne Grove in west London , the programme essentially mocked the `` new media '' scene and its population of middle-class web designers , DJs and magazine producers , their obsessions with absurd fashions and gadgetry , their inevitably feeble attempts at creativity and their tireless and ludicrous efforts to embody the cutting edge of urban cool . A spinoff book of the same title was later released featuring old and new material .   Brooker has cited the increasing absurdity of reality television as one of the main reasons he stopped writing TVGoHome . The ideas for real life shows such as Touch the Truck , in which contestants must continually touch a truck for 24 hours in order to win the truck as a prize , were the kind of idea that at one point would only have existed as a satirical creation of Brooker 's website . Now that they were becoming a reality , Brooker felt it was time to stop .   In 2006 , Brooker began a regular column in The Guardian '' , featuring new TVGoHome listings .

query: George Best died in the 21st century.

pos: George Best George Best ( 22 May 1946 -- 25 November 2005 ) was a Northern Irish professional footballer who played as a winger for Manchester United and the Northern Ireland national team . In 1968 , he won the European Cup with Manchester United , and was named the European Footballer of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year . The Irish Football Association described him as the `` greatest player to ever pull on the green shirt of Northern Ireland '' .   Born and brought up in Belfast , Best began his club career in England with Manchester United , with the scout who had spotted his talent at the age of 15 sending a telegram to manager Matt Busby which read : `` I think I 've found you a genius . '' After making his debut for United aged 17 , he scored 179 goals from 470 appearances over 11 years , and was the club 's top goalscorer in the league for five consecutive seasons .   One of the greatest dribblers of all time , his playing style combined pace , skill , balance , feints , two-footedness , goalscoring and the ability to beat defenders . Best unexpectedly quit United in 1974 at age 27 , but returned to football for a number of clubs around the world in short spells , until retiring in 1984 , age 37 . In international football , he was capped 37 times and scored nine goals between 1964 and 1977 , although a combination of the team 's performance and his lack of fitness in 1982 meant that he never played in the finals of a European Championship or World Cup .   Best was one of the first celebrity footballers , earning the nickname `` El Beatle '' in 1966 , but his subsequent extravagant lifestyle led to various problems , most notably alcoholism , which he suffered from for the rest of his life . These issues affected him on and off the field , at times causing controversy . He said of his career : `` I spent a lot of money on booze , birds -LSB- women -RSB- and fast cars -- the rest I just squandered '' . After football , he spent some time as a football analyst , but his financial and health problems continued into his retirement . He died in 2005 , age 59 , due to complications from the immunosuppressive drugs he needed to take after a liver transplant in 2002 . Best was married twice , to two former models , Angie Best and then Alex Best . His son Calum Best was born in 1981 from his first marriage .   Before he died , Best was voted 8th in the World Soccer 100 greatest football players of the 20th century election in 1999 and was voted 16th in the IFFHS World Player of the Century election in 1999 . He was on the six man short list for the BBC 's Sports Personality of the Century in 1999 . Best was one of the inaugural 22 inductees into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002 . In 2004 , he was voted 19th in the public UEFA Golden Jubilee Poll and was named in the FIFA 100 list of the world 's greatest living players . Former Brazilian footballer Pelé stated , `` George Best was the greatest player in the world '' . Best was once quoted as saying , `` Pelé called me the greatest footballer in the world . That is the ultimate salute to my life . '' On what would have been his 60th birthday , Belfast City Airport was renamed the George Best Belfast City Airport . According to the BBC , Best was remembered by mourners at his public funeral held in Belfast as `` the beautiful boy '' -LSB- with a -RSB- `` beautiful game '' .   Mark Garnett and Richard Weight have explored the enduring appeal of George Best .  The British like their heroes to be tragic ones : possessed of enough glamour and talent for stardom to be lived vicariously through them ; yet flawed and vulnerable enough for the public not to be threatened by their success .

neg: Highest and best use Highest and best use , or highest or best use ( HBU ) , is a concept that originated with early economists such as Irving Fisher ( 1867-1947 ) , who conceptualized the idea of maximum productivity . One of the earliest citations of the term is found in the Minutes of the Maine Legislature as early as 1831 in speaking about the assessment and valuation of real estate : '' ... the land was classified preceding such change of use , had such real estate been assessed at its highest and best use ... '' It is the concept in real estate appraisal that shows how the highest value for a property is arrived at . In any case where the market value of real property is sought , that value must be based on its highest and best use . Highest and best use is always that use that would produce the highest value for a property , regardless of its actual current use .

neg: George IV of the United Kingdom George IV ( George Augustus Frederick ; 12 August 1762 -- 26 June 1830 ) was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of Hanover following the death of his father , George III , on 29 January 1820 , until his own death ten years later . From 1811 until his accession , he served as Prince Regent during his father 's final mental illness .   George IV led an extravagant lifestyle that contributed to the fashions of the Regency era . He was a patron of new forms of leisure , style and taste . He commissioned John Nash to build the Royal Pavilion in Brighton and remodel Buckingham Palace , and Sir Jeffry Wyattville to rebuild Windsor Castle .   His charm and culture earned him the title `` the first gentleman of England '' , but his poor relationship with both his father and his wife , Caroline of Brunswick , and his dissolute way of life , earned him the contempt of the people and dimmed the prestige of the monarchy . He even forbade Caroline to attend his coronation and asked the government to introduce the unpopular Pains and Penalties Bill in a desperate , unsuccessful attempt to divorce her .   For most of George 's regency and reign , Lord Liverpool controlled the government as Prime Minister , with little help from George . His ministers found his behaviour selfish , unreliable and irresponsible . At all times he was much under the influence of favourites . Taxpayers were angry at his wasteful spending at a time when Britons were fighting in the Napoleonic Wars . He did not provide national leadership in time of crisis , nor act as a role model for his people . Liverpool 's government presided over Britain 's ultimate victory , negotiated the peace settlement , and attempted to deal with the social and economic malaise that followed . After Liverpool 's retirement , George was forced to accept Catholic emancipation despite opposing it . His only child , Princess Charlotte , died before him in 1817 and so he was succeeded by his younger brother , William .

neg: George Morrow (computers) George Morrow ( January 30 , 1934 -- May 7 , 2003 ) was part of the early microcomputer industry in the United States . Morrow promoted and improved the S-100 bus used in many early microcomputers . Called `` one of the microcomputer industry 's iconoclasts '' by Richard Dalton in the Whole Earth Software Catalog , Morrow was also a member of the Homebrew Computer Club .   Born in Detroit in 1934 , Morrow was a high school dropout . At the age of 28 , he decided to return to school , receiving a bachelor 's degree in physics from Stanford University , followed by a master 's degree in mathematics from the University of Oklahoma . He sought a PhD in mathematics from UC Berkeley , but while there became fascinated by computers and began working as a programmer in the computer lab there . Meanwhile , the Altair 8800 made its debut in 1975 , and Morrow began attending meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club .   Starting in 1976 , he designed and sold computers , computer parts , and accessories under several company names , including Thinker Toys ( changed after CBS threatened a suit as it was too close to their trademark Tinker Toys ) and restarted the business as Morrow Designs . His initial product was an 8080 board with an octal-notation keypad , but it proved unappealing to hobbyists who preferred the binary notation and flip switches of the Altair 8800 . Afterwards , he attempted a 16-bit machine based on the National Semiconductor PACE CPU with the help of Bill Godbout , Chuck Grant , and Mark Greenberg . Differences between him and the latter two led to their leaving to found North Star Computers . He then sold 4 KB S-100 memory boards before attempting a new computer with Howard Fulmer in 1977 .   The Equinox 100 was a powerful machine in an attractive cabinet , but failed to attract much attention as it used an 8080 at a time when the Z80 was rapidly taking over . Morrow turned to selling floppy drives for S-100 machines . The package ( which proved quite popular ) included an 8 '' external drive , controller board , CP/M , and CBASIC . In 1982 , he issued the Morrow Micro Decision line , a group of single-board Z80 machines designed to answer the high price of computer hardware . A single-drive 200k system sold for under $ 2000 equipped with a terminal , which placed it squarely in competition with the other CP/M systems , they were respectable business machines with `` no sex appeal '' but an extensive software bundle , and came in a desktop case like the IBM Displaywriter they were intended to compete against .   The CP/M platform was rapidly displaced by the newer ( yet very similar ) MS-DOS/PC-DOS platforms . The 16-bit 8086 architecture of the new machines enabled them to break the 64 KB RAM limit of CP/M and address up to a megabyte of RAM . CP/Ms fortunes were n't helped by the user-oriented marketing of Microsoft and IBM and the lack of same by Digital Research .   In 1986 , Morrow released its first IBM-compatible computer , a lunchbox portable known as the Morrow Pivot II ( based on its unique form factor where neither the keyboard nor the monitor folded away from the case ) . Produced by an outside OEM manufacturer , the same model was also sold by Zenith Data Systems as the Z-171 . In addition to its lower cost and more prominent brand name , Zenith won an extremely profitable contract to sell computers to the US government , after the President of Morrow Designs left to go to work for Zenith . Morrow filed for bankruptcy by the end of the year .   Following the collapse of his computer businesses , Morrow devoted the rest of his life to his hobby of collecting original 78 RPM jazz and dance records from the 1920s and '30s . Until his death , he digitally transcribed and restored thousands of recordings using a computer system he developed , reissuing them under his Old Masters label . He died in May 2003 from aplastic anemia .

neg: Twentieth Century (film) Twentieth Century is a 1934 American pre-Code screwball comedy film . Much of the film is set on the 20th Century Limited train as it travels from Chicago to New York City . The film was directed by Howard Hawks , stars John Barrymore and Carole Lombard , and features Walter Connolly , Roscoe Karns and Edgar Kennedy . Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur adapted their Broadway play of the same name -- itself based on the unproduced play Napoleon of Broadway by Charles Bruce Millholland -- with uncredited contributions from Gene Fowler and Preston Sturges .   Along with Frank Capra 's It Happened One Night , also released in 1934 ( which amazingly has exactly the same music over the opening titles ) , Twentieth Century is considered to be a prototype for the screwball comedy . `` Howard Hawks ' rapid-fire romantic comedy established the essential ingredients of the screwball -- a dizzy dame , a charming but befuddled hero , dazzling dialogue and a dash of slapstick . '' Its success propelled Lombard into the front ranks of film comediennes . The film was added to the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 2011 .

neg: 26th Academy Awards The 26th Academy Awards honored the best in films of 1953 .   The second national telecast of the Awards show drew an estimated 43 million viewers . Shirley Booth , appearing in a play in Philadelphia , presented the Best Actor award through a live broadcast cut-in , and privately received the winner 's name over the telephone from co-host Donald O'Connor . ( Actor Fredric March co-hosted from New York City . ) Gary Cooper filmed his presentation of the Best Actress award in advance on a set in Mexico , with O'Connor announcing the winner 's name .   All the major winners in this year were black-and-white films . The big winner was Fred Zinnemann 's From Here to Eternity , with thirteen nominations and eight awards including Best Picture , Best Supporting Actor , Best Supporting Actress , Best Director , Best Screenplay ( Daniel Taradash ) , Best Cinematography ( Burnett Guffey ) , Best Sound , and Best Film Editing . All five of its major actors and actresses were nominated , with secondary players Donna Reed and Frank Sinatra taking home Oscars . The candid film was based on James Jones ' controversial , best-selling novel about Army life on a Hawaiian ( Oahu ) military base just prior to the Pearl Harbor attack and World War II , illustrating the conflict between an individualistic private ( Montgomery Clift ) and rigid institutional authority ( exemplified by the Army ) . Its achievement of eight awards matched the then record held by Gone with the Wind ( 1939 ) . The record would be tied again the following year by On the Waterfront ( 1954 ) . Walt Disney won four awards , which remains the record for the most Oscars won in the same year .   William Holden 's speech for Best Actor for his role in Stalag 17 was simply `` Thank You '' , making it one of the shortest speeches ever ; the TV broadcast had a strict cutoff time which forced Holden 's quick remarks . The frustrated Holden personally paid for advertisements in the Hollywood trade publications to thank everyone he wanted to on Oscar night . He also remarked that he felt that either Burt Lancaster or Montgomery Clift should have won the Best Actor Oscar for From Here to Eternity , instead of him .

neg: BAFTA Award for Best Film The BAFTA Award for Best Film is given annually by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and presented at the British Academy Film Awards . It has been given since the 1st BAFTA Awards , representing the best films of 1947 , but until 1969 it was called the BAFTA Award for Best Film From Any Source . It is possible for films from any country to be nominated , although British films are also recognised in the category BAFTA Award for Best British Film and ( since 1983 ) foreign-language films in BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language . As such , there have been multiple occasions of a film being nominated in two of these categories .   There has been one tie for the Best Film award when , in 1962 , Ballad of a Soldier tied with The Hustler for Best Film from any Source . Until 1981 , the award was given to the director , except in 1976 and 1977 , when it was given to the producers . From 1981 to 1985 , it was given solely to the producers , and then in 1986 , it was shared between the Director and Producer . In 1998 , it was once again given to only the producers .   In the following lists , the titles and names in bold with a dark grey background are the winners and recipients respectively ; those not in bold are the nominees . The years given are those in which the films under consideration were released , not the year of the ceremony , which always takes place the following year .

neg: State funerals in the United Kingdom In the United Kingdom , a state funeral is usually reserved for a monarch . The last such funeral was held in 1952 for King George VI . In addition , very exceptionally , a state funeral may be held to honour a highly distinguished figure , with the approval of the monarch and with Parliament 's approval ( of the expenditure of public funds ) . This last happened in 1965 for Sir Winston Churchill .   Other funerals ( including those of senior members of the Royal Family and high-ranking public figures ) may share many of the characteristics of a state funeral without being gazetted as such ; for these , the term ` ceremonial funeral ' is used . In the 21st century , the funerals of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother ( 2002 ) and Baroness Thatcher ( 2013 ) have fallen into this category .   Along with the funeral service itself ( which will be a large-scale national occasion ) , these events tend to be characterized by the use of a gun carriage to transport the coffin between locations , accompanied by a procession of military bands and detachments along with mourners and other officials . They may also feature a lying in state and other associated ceremonies .

neg: Gary Cooper filmography The filmography of Gary Cooper chronicles the film appearances of American actor Gary Cooper . After starting his career in 1925 as a film extra and stuntman , Cooper made his official cinematic debut in 1926 in the Samuel Goldwyn production The Winning of Barbara Worth . He went on to become a contract player with Paramount Pictures where he established himself as a popular leading man prior to the end of the silent film era .   Cooper 's future in the sound era was assured with the release of The Virginian ( 1929 ) , his first all-talkie film . For the next 32 years , he would be one of cinema 's top money-making stars . From 1936 to 1957 , Cooper ranked 18 times among the top ten box office attractions -- a record when he died in 1961 , and later surpassed only by John Wayne , who ranked among the top ten 25 times , Clint Eastwood ( 21 times ) and Tom Cruise ( 20 times ) .   Cooper was nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award five times and won twice , for Sergeant York ( 1942 ) and High Noon ( 1952 ) . The latter film boosted his popularity , resulting in him being the number one box office attraction in 1953 . Cooper received a third Academy Award -- an honorary one -- just prior to his death in 1961 . His final film , The Naked Edge , was released shortly after his death .   As of February 2008 , more than half of Gary Cooper 's feature films are available on DVD , while others not yet on home video are available for television broadcast . Unfortunately , at least two of his silent films -- Beau Sabreur ( 1928 ) and The Legion of the Condemned ( 1928 ) -- are now considered lost films . Another of his silent films , Wolf Song ( 1929 ) , was originally released as a part talkie , but survives only as a silent film . One of Cooper 's earliest talkies , Paramount on Parade ( 1930 ) , survives incomplete . The prints that are available for television are missing all but one of the film 's Technicolor scenes -- a partial restoration of these scenes was done by the UCLA Film Archives .   This filmography contains sections for Cooper 's work as an extra in the earliest part of his film career , his feature film appearances , his occasional appearances in short films , and a section for a compilation film . Due to its length ( 92 films ) , the listing of his feature films is divided in four sections . Cooper 's film roles are listed , as well as the names of each film 's director and co-stars . Cooper 's awards and nominations are also listed . Except where noted , all of his films were shot in 35mm black and white . All films released prior to Lilac Time ( 1928 ) are silent films and all from The Virginian ( 1929 ) onward are sound films . The films made during the silent-to-sound transition are noted as being either silent or sound films . As an addendum , Cooper 's handful of television appearances are also listed .

query: Bill Gates is the co-creator of Microsoft.

pos: Bill Gates William Henry Gates III ( born October 28 , 1955 ) is the co-founder of Microsoft and is an American business magnate , investor , author and philanthropist .   In 1975 , Gates and Paul Allen co-founded Microsoft , which became the world 's largest PC software company . During his career at Microsoft , Gates held the positions of chairman , CEO and chief software architect , while also being the largest individual shareholder until May 2014 . Gates stepped down as chief executive officer of Microsoft in January 2000 , but he remained as chairman and created the position of chief software architect for himself . In June 2006 , Gates announced that he would be transitioning from full-time work at Microsoft to part-time work and full-time work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation . He gradually transferred his duties to Ray Ozzie and Craig Mundie . He stepped down as chairman of Microsoft in February 2014 , taking on a new post as technology adviser to support the then newly appointed CEO Satya Nadella .   Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution . He has been criticized for his business tactics , which have been considered anti-competitive , an opinion that has in some cases been upheld by numerous court rulings . Later in his career , Gates pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors , donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation , established in 2000 .   Since 1987 , Gates has been included in the Forbes list of the world 's wealthiest people . Gates is the richest person in the world , with an estimated net worth of US$ 88.5 billion . In 2009 , Gates and Warren Buffett founded The Giving Pledge , whereby they and other billionaires pledge to give at least half of their wealth to philanthropy .

neg: Monad (functional programming) In functional programming , a monad is a structure that defines how functions , actions , inputs , and outputs are used together to build a computer program . Monads can be seen as a functional design pattern to build generic types , with the following organization :  Define a data type , and how values of that datatype are combined .  Create functions that use the data type , and compose them together into actions , following the rules defined in the first step .  A monad may encapsulate values of a particular data type , creating a new type associated with a specific computation . For example , the simple Maybe monad encapsulates variables which may have a null value , representing an option type , and automatically ensures that null values are not passed as arguments to functions that can not handle them . Another example is the List monad , where the empty list is a constant value of type List , and the cons operator binds a plain value as the head of a previous list .   The monad represents computations with a sequential structure : a monad defines what it means to chain operations together . This enables the programmer to build pipelines that process data in a series of steps ( i.e. a series of actions applied to the data ) , in which each action is decorated with the additional processing rules provided by the monad . A monad is defined by a return operator that creates values , and a bind operator used to link the actions in the pipeline ; this definition must follow a set of axioms called monad laws , which are needed for the composition of actions in the pipeline to work properly .   Monads allow a programming style where programs are written by putting together highly composable parts , combining in flexible ways the possible actions that can work on a particular type of data . As such , monads have been described as `` programmable semicolons '' ; a semicolon is the operator used to chain together individual statements in many imperative programming languages , thus the expression implies that extra code will be executed between the actions in the pipeline . Monads have also been explained with a physical metaphor as assembly lines , where a conveyor belt transports data between functional units that transform it one step at a time .   Purely functional programs can use monads to structure procedures that include sequenced operations like those found in structured programming . Many common programming concepts can be described in terms of a monad structure without losing the beneficial property of referential transparency , including side effects such as input/output , variable assignment , exception handling , parsing , nondeterminism , concurrency , continuations , or domain-specific languages . This allows these concepts to be defined in a purely functional manner , without major extensions to the language 's semantics . Languages like Haskell provide monads in the standard core , allowing programmers to reuse large parts of their formal definition and apply in many different libraries the same interfaces for combining functions .   The name and concept comes from category theory , where monads are one particular kind of functor , a mapping between categories . In functional programming contexts , thanks to the specifics of the category used , the term monad denotes what is known as strong monad in category theory .

neg: Microsoft PowerPoint Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program currently developed by Microsoft , for use on both Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating systems . PowerPoint , initially named `` Presenter '' , was created by Forethought Inc. . Microsoft 's version of PowerPoint was officially launched on May 22 , 1990 , as a part of the Microsoft Office suite . PowerPoint is useful for helping develop the slide-based presentation format and is currently one of the most commonly used slide-based presentation programs available .

neg: MSX MSX is the name of a standardized home computer architecture , first announced by Microsoft on June 16 , 1983 , and marketed by Kazuhiko Nishi , then Vice-president at Microsoft Japan and Director at ASCII Corporation . Microsoft conceived the project as an attempt to create unified standards among various hardware makers of the period .   They were popular mostly in Japan , and several other countries . It is difficult to estimate how many MSX computers were sold worldwide , but eventually 5 million MSX-based units were sold in Japan alone . Despite Microsoft 's involvement , the MSX-based machines were seldom released in the United States ,   Before the appearance and great success of Nintendo 's Family Computer , MSX was the platform for which major Japanese game studios , such as Konami and Hudson Soft , produced video game titles . The Metal Gear series , for example , was originally written for MSX hardware .

neg: Media Foundation Media Foundation ( MF ) is a COM-based multimedia framework pipeline and infrastructure platform for digital media in Windows Vista , Windows 7 , Windows 8 , Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 . It is the intended replacement for Microsoft DirectShow , Windows Media SDK , DirectX Media Objects ( DMOs ) and all other so-called `` legacy '' multimedia APIs such as Audio Compression Manager ( ACM ) and Video for Windows ( VfW ) . The existing DirectShow technology is intended to be replaced by Media Foundation step-by-step , starting with a few features . For some time there will be a co-existence of Media Foundation and DirectShow . Media Foundation will not be available for previous Windows versions , including Windows XP .   The first release , present in Windows Vista , focuses on audio and video playback quality , high-definition content ( i.e. HDTV ) , content protection and a more unified approach for digital data access control for digital rights management ( DRM ) and its interoperability . It integrates DXVA 2.0 for offloading more of the video processing pipeline to hardware , for better performance . Videos are processed in the colorspace they were encoded in , and are handed off to the hardware , which composes the image in its native colorspace . This prevents intermediate colorspace conversions to improve performance . MF includes a new video renderer , called Enhanced Video Renderer ( EVR ) , which is the next iteration of VMR 7 and 9 . EVR has better support for playback timing and synchronization . It uses the Multimedia Class Scheduler Service ( MMCSS ) , a new service that prioritizes real time multimedia processing , to reserve the resources required for the playback , without any tearing or glitches .   The second release included in Windows 7 introduces expanded media format support and DXVA HD for acceleration of HD content if WDDM 1.1 drivers are used .

neg: Turning the Pages Turning the Pages is software technology for viewing scanned books on-line in a realistic and detailed manner .

In January 2007 version 2.0 version was developed for Microsoft Vista using a browser-based Windows Presentation Foundation format . Features include page turns that are modeled on the actually deformation of different types of material ( for example in a book with vellum pages , which is heavier than printed on paper , will appear to collapse under its own weight as it is turned ) . For certain books , such as the Sherborne Missal , the gold leaf catches the light as the book moves around .   The British Library has released a `` Turning the Pages Toolkit '' for libraries around the world to put their collections online .   The Codex Leicester along with Codex Arundel was one of the first to be made available in the 2.0 format , with Bill Gates saying `` This is an innovative way to bring treasures - including mine - to a new audience , ''

neg: Mark Lucovsky Mark Lucovsky is an American software developer who worked for Microsoft and who is now employed by VMware as Vice President of Engineering in charge of Cloud Foundry .

Lucovsky received his bachelor 's degree in computer science in 1983 from California Polytechnic State University , San Luis Obispo . He worked at Digital Equipment Corporation , where he came to the attention of Dave Cutler and Lou Perazzoli . When Cutler and Perazzoli moved to Microsoft to work on their next generation operating system , they asked him to join them .   Among his contributions to Windows NT was an eighty-page manual that he wrote with Steve R. Wood defining the Windows application programming interfaces for software developers working on the Windows NT platform . He also managed check-ins to the Windows NT source code , tracking each check-in and discussing it with the developer before allowing it to be committed . Lucovsky was instrumental in moving the Windows team from the homegrown SLM revision control system to a custom version of Perforce ( SourceDepot ) .   Mark Lucovsky has stated that Steve Ballmer , on being informed that Lucovsky was about to leave Microsoft for Google , picked up a chair and threw it across the room , hitting a table in his office . Lucovsky also described Ballmer as saying : `` Fucking Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy . I 'm going to fucking bury that guy , I have done it before , and I will do it again . I 'm going to fucking kill Google , '' then resumed trying to persuade Lucovsky to stay at Microsoft . Ballmer has described this as a `` gross exaggeration of what actually took place . ''   Lucovsky worked on the Microsoft . NET My Services product ( codenamed Hailstorm ) prior to moving to Google . At Google , he served as a Technical Director for the Ajax Search API . He joined VMware in July 2009 .

neg: MS-DOS MS-DOS ( -LSB- ˌɛmɛsˈdɒs -RSB- ; acronym for Microsoft Disk Operating System ) is a discontinued operating system for x86-based personal computers mostly developed by Microsoft . Collectively , MS-DOS , its rebranding as IBM PC DOS , and some operating systems attempting to be compatible with MS-DOS , are sometimes referred to as `` DOS '' ( which is also the generic acronym for disk operating system ) . MS-DOS was the main operating system for IBM PC compatible personal computers during the 1980s and the early 1990s , when it was gradually superseded by operating systems offering a graphical user interface ( GUI ) , in various generations of the graphical Microsoft Windows operating system .   MS-DOS resulted from a request in 1981 by IBM for an operating system to use in its IBM PC range of personal computers . Microsoft quickly bought the rights to 86-DOS from Seattle Computer Products , and began work on modifying it to meet IBM 's specification . IBM licensed and released it in August 1981 as PC DOS 1.0 for use in their PCs . Although MS-DOS and PC DOS were initially developed in parallel by Microsoft and IBM , the two products diverged after twelve years , in 1993 , with recognizable differences in compatibility , syntax , and capabilities .   During its life , several competing products were released for the x86 platform , and MS-DOS went through eight versions , until development ceased in 2000 . Initially MS-DOS was targeted at Intel 8086 processors running on computer hardware using floppy disks to store and access not only the operating system , but application software and user data as well . Progressive version releases delivered support for other mass storage media in ever greater sizes and formats , along with added feature support for newer processors and rapidly evolving computer architectures . Ultimately it was the key product in Microsoft 's growth from a programming languages company to a diverse software development firm , providing the company with essential revenue and marketing resources . It was also the underlying basic operating system on which early versions of Windows ran as a GUI . It is a flexible operating system , and consumes negligible installation space .

Together with Larry Page , he co-founded Google . Brin is the President of Google 's parent company Alphabet Inc. .   , Brin is the 13th richest person in the world , with an estimated net worth of US$ 39.8 billion .   Brin immigrated to the United States with his family from the Soviet Union at the age of 6 . He earned his bachelor 's degree at the University of Maryland , following in his father 's and grandfather 's footsteps by studying mathematics , as well as computer science . After graduation , he moved to Stanford University to acquire a PhD in computer science . There he met Page , with whom he later became friends . They crammed their dormitory room with inexpensive computers and applied Brin 's data mining system to build a web search engine . The program became popular at Stanford , and they suspended their PhD studies to start up Google in a rented garage .   The Economist referred to Brin as an `` Enlightenment Man '' , and as someone who believes that `` knowledge is always good , and certainly always better than ignorance '' , a philosophy that is summed up by Google 's mission statement , `` Organize the world 's information and make it universally accessible and useful , '' and unofficial yet sometimes controversial motto , `` Do n't be evil '' .

neg: Chromeffects Microsoft announced Chromeffects as an add-on for Windows 98 to play 3D graphics and video through a web browser or in separate player software , for ads with flashing text and other animation , or to generate user interface enhancements for Web-based applications .   Chromeffects promised to deliver complex multimedia over low-bandwidth connections . Using HTML , XML , C++ , VBScript , and Jscript , developers would turn a web browser into a rippling , 3D space with audio and video playback . Later versions of Chromeffects were planned to have the ability to be used for representing databases in 3D .   A MacWeek article from August 1998 quoted David Card , an analyst at Jupiter Communications as saying , `` Chromeffects is cool software , and it 's not often I say Microsoft has cool software . Apple does n't have anything comparable '' .   Chromeffects had problems with its business model , it was not intended to be a freely distributed technology , rather OEM PC manufacturers or other commercial entities would license the technology to provide to their customers as an IE add-on . However , despite a hard marketing push in mid-1998 , OEM interests never materialized and Microsoft canceled the project as part of a major internal reorganization in November 1998 . The different components of Chromeffects were separated and integrated into other Microsoft products , such as DirectAnimation in Internet Explorer .   The Microsoft Liquid Motion technology used Chromeffects `` under the hood '' .   A similar newer modern initiative by Microsoft is Silverlight .

neg: Bundling of Microsoft Windows Bundling of Microsoft Windows is the installation of Microsoft Windows in computers before their purchase . Microsoft encourages original equipment manufacturers ( OEMs ) of personal computers to include Windows licenses with their products , and agreements between Microsoft and OEMs have undergone antitrust scrutiny . Users opposed to the bundling of Microsoft Windows have sought refunds for Windows licenses , arguing that the Windows end-user license agreement entitles them to return unused Windows licenses for a cash refund . Although some customers have successfully obtained payments ( in some cases after litigation or lengthy negotiations ) , others have been less successful .

neg: WinFS WinFS ( short for Windows Future Storage ) was the code name for a canceled data storage and management system project based on relational databases , developed by Microsoft and first demonstrated in 2003 as an advanced storage subsystem for the Microsoft Windows operating system , designed for persistence and management of structured , semi-structured and unstructured data .   WinFS includes a relational database for storage of information , and allows any type of information to be stored in it , provided there is a well defined schema for the type . Individual data items could then be related together by relationships , which are either inferred by the system based on certain attributes or explicitly stated by the user . As the data has a well defined schema , any application can reuse the data ; and using the relationships , related data can be effectively organized as well as retrieved . Because the system knows the structure and intent of the information , it can be used to make complex queries that enable advanced searching through the data and aggregating various data items by exploiting the relationships between them .   While WinFS and its shared type schema make it possible for an application to recognize the different data types , the application still has to be coded to render the different data types . Consequently , it would not allow development of a single application that can view or edit all data types ; rather what WinFS enables applications to understand is the structure of all data and extract the information that it can use further . When WinFS was introduced at the 2003 Professional Developers Conference , Microsoft also released a video presentation , named IWish , showing mockup interfaces that showed how applications would expose interfaces that take advantage of a unified type system . The concepts shown in the video ranged from applications using the relationships of items to dynamically offer filtering options to applications grouping multiple related data types and rendering them in a unified presentation .   WinFS was billed as one of the pillars of the `` Longhorn '' wave of technologies , and would ship as part of the next version of Windows . It was subsequently decided that WinFS would ship after the release of Windows Vista , but those plans were shelved in June 2006 , with some of its component technologies being integrated into ADO.NET and Microsoft SQL Server .

neg: Scott Oki Scott D. Oki ( born October 5 , 1948 in Seattle , Washington ) is a former senior vice-president of sales and marketing for Microsoft who conceived and built Microsoft 's international operations . Oki also played a crucial role in Microsoft 's rapid domestic growth during the 1980s .   Born to a Japanese-American family , Oki attended the University of Washington , but left after 18 months to join the Air Force . While in the service he took courses at the University of Colorado . After he left the service in 1974 , he went on to receive a BA in accounting and information systems and earned an MBA the following year . After holding several computer-related jobs , Oki went to work for Microsoft in 1982 .   Oki built Microsoft 's international operations , and within two years it was more profitable than Microsoft 's domestic operation . Bill Gates then made him Vice President of Domestic Operation , and within five years , the company 's sales rose from $ 100 million to $ 1 billion . One of Oki 's major contributions to Microsoft 's success during that time was convincing Bill Gates and the board of directors to center product development and marketing efforts on Windows instead of OS/2 . By the time he retired Oki was overseeing 3,000 employees .   When Oki retired in 1992 , he reportedly cashed in stock options estimated at $ 100 million . He now runs the non-profit Oki Foundation , owns several golf courses , and serves on dozens of advisory boards and boards of directors for both for-profit and non-profit companies . Oki is the Co-Chair of the United Way of King County Campaign Board and Co-Chair of the Million Dollar Roundtable , Founder and Chairman of the Japanese American Chamber of Commerce , Founder and Co-President of the Chief Seattle Council Boy Scout Foundation , Co-Founder of Sounders For Kids , Co-Founder of America 's Foundation for Chess , Co-Founder of SeeYourImpact.org and Co-Founder of Social Venture Partners . He is a past-President of the Board of Regents for the University of Washington and a past Chair of Seattle Children 's Hospital Foundation . Scott also serves on the national boards for United Way of America , Boys & Girls Clubs of America , Japanese American National Museum , and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation . Scott Oki is a member of the National Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America , the organization 's governing body .   Oki Golf   In 1994 , Scott Oki purchased The Golf Club at Echo Falls in Snohomish , Washington . This initial acquisition was the preliminary step toward building what eventually became a unique portfolio of golf properties known collectively as Oki Golf . This collection has grown to include nine properties comprising eleven championship golf courses , both public and private , spread throughout the Puget Sound . In addition to The Golf Club at Echo Falls , the Oki Golf portfolio also includes Indian Summer Golf & Country Club in Olympia , Washington ( private ) , The Plateau Club in Sammamish , Washington ( private ) , and The Woodlands and The Links courses ( formerly Meriwood and Vicwood -- both public ) at The Golf Club at Hawks Prairie in Lacey , Washington . The flagship courses in Oki Golf 's celebrated collection are located at The Golf Club at Newcastle in Newcastle , WA . Two additional golf properties were added to the group in December 2005 . Washington National Golf Club ( public ) in Auburn , WA , and Trophy Lake Golf & Casting ( public ) in Port Orchard , WA . ( source : okigolf.com ) In the winter of 2007 , Oki Golf added Harbour Pointe ( public ) in Mukilteo , Washington . An additional property - Trilogy Golf Course ( public ) - was purchased in 2008 and has since been renamed to The Golf Club at Redmond Ridge .   During October , 2016 , Oki sold eight of his golf courses for $ 137 million dollars to Chinese based HNA Holdings . Ownership of commercial real property by foreign businesses is prohibited in China .

neg: Jim Knopf Jim Knopf , nicknamed Jim Button ( `` Knopf '' meaning `` button '' in German ) ( October 20 , 1942 -- October 1 , 2013 ) , is considered by many to be one of the `` fathers '' of shareware ( so named by fellow software veteran Peter Norton ) . As an IBM employee , he wrote a program to help with a local church congregation . When demand for his program consumed too much of his time , he quit IBM and created Buttonware . He released his first program , PC-File ( a flat file database ) , in late 1982 as `` user supported software '' . He has been quoted as saying this expression not only reflected the optional payment model , but also that comments from users drove the development of later releases .   He collaborated with PC-Talk ( communications software ) developer Andrew Fluegelman to adopt similar names ( PC-File was originally `` Easy-File '' ) , and prices , for their initial shareware offerings ; they also agreed to mention each other 's products in their program 's documentation . Fluegelman referred to this distribution method as `` freeware '' .   A few months later ( early 1983 ) , Bob Wallace followed suit , coining the term `` shareware '' for his similarly marketed product , PC-Write , a word processor .   , of the three founders of shareware , Knopf was the only one still alive , despite having a near-death experience in 1992 , when his heart stopped beating briefly while experiencing a heart attack . Shortly thereafter , he sold all his business assets and retired to the Pacific Northwest . He died on October 1 , 2013 , after suffering for several years from heart disease and Crohn 's disease .

neg: Nils Olaf Chrisander Nils Olaf Chrisander ( 14 February 1884 -- 5 June 1947 ) was a Swedish actor and film director in the early part of the twentieth century .   Born Waldemar Olaf Chrisander in Stockholm , Sweden , Chrisander 's first screen appearances as an actor were in German and Swedish silent films in the mid-1910s . His first motion picture role was in the 1915 Carl Schönfeld-directed German silent film drama Um ein Weib .   As an actor , Chrisander is possibly best recalled for starring as `` Erik the Phantom '' in the now lost 1916 Ernst Matray-directed German adaptation Das Phantom der Oper , based on Gaston Leroux 's novel The Phantom of the Opera opposite Norwegian actress Aud Egede-Nissen . Matray 's version is the first film adaptation of Leroux 's 1909-1910 serialized novel .

In total , he directed three films in Germany , before relocating to the United States where he directed two dramatic films : 1927 's Fighting Love , starring Jetta Goudal , Victor Varconi and Henry B. Walthall for Cecil B. DeMille Pictures , and that same year , The Heart Thief , starring Joseph Schildkraut and Lya De Putti .   By 1930 , he was living at S.

neg: Gareth Jones (actor) Gareth Jones ( 6 June 1925 -- 30 November 1958 ) was a British actor , born in Lampeter , Wales , chiefly remembered for the circumstances of his death .   During a live television broadcast of the Armchair Theatre play Underground on the ITV network in the UK on 30 November 1958 , Jones suffered a massive heart attack and died while off-camera between two of his scenes . Some contemporary news reports stated that he had suffered the heart attack while on camera , although most references claim that he was stricken while in a make-up chair , between scenes . However , actor Peter Bowles , also in the cast , recalled that `` During transmission , a little group of us was talking on camera while awaiting the arrival of Gareth Jones 's character , who had some information for us . We could see him coming up towards us , but we saw him fall . We had no idea what had happened , but he certainly was n't coming our way '' .   Director Ted Kotcheff and the remaining cast were forced to improvise to carry the play to its conclusion , with producer Sydney Newman ordering Kotcheff to `` shoot it like a football match '' . Coincidentally , Jones 's character was to have suffered a heart attack during the play .   Jones had appeared in three other Armchair Theatre plays in 1958 - `` Noon On Doomsday '' ( 6 July 1958 ) , `` Trial By Candlelight '' ( 22 June 1958 ) , and `` Miss Olive '' ( 6 April 1958 ) . Other TV appearances included the ITV Television Playhouse production of `` Thunder On Sycamore Street '' ( 11 October 1957 ) , the BBC Television adaptation of Under Milk Wood ( 9 May 1957 ) , the BBC series `` Onion Boys '' ( 1957 ) , and `` A Tale Of Two Cities '' ( 1957 ) .   He earlier appeared in Dundee Repertory Theatre plays including `` Petticoat Influence '' ( 1952 ) , The Beaver Coat ( 1952 ) , `` The Hollow Crown '' ( 1952 ) , `` The Queen 's Husband '' ( 1952 ) , `` Young Madame Conti '' ( 1952 ) , and The Lark ( 1955 ) .

neg: Chris Cwej Christopher Rodonanté Cwej , usually just known as Chris Cwej , is a fictional character from the Virgin New Adventures range of spin-offs based on the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who . His surname should technically be pronounced `` Shvay '' , but he pronounces it `` Kwedge '' rather than keep correcting people .   His first appearance was in the novel Original Sin by Andy Lane , with his adjudicator partner Roz Forrester . Adjudicators are the police force of 30th century Earth , which was at that time divided into the Overcity and the Undercity . Chris was born in 2954 to a family who lived in the lower levels of the Overcity . Chris 's father , Volsted Kornbluth Cwej , was also an adjudicator . Chris 's father was fairly old when Chris was born , having retired from the Adjudicators the previous year , 2953 , after 48 years of service , and he is well over 70 years old when the young Chris meets the Doctor .   Chris 's grandfather died when Chris was only five , and Chris cried when he saw his grandfather being put into a coffin . A more distant ancestor , possibly a great grandfather was Nathaniel Cwej . Even further back , there was a Cwej involved with the founding of the Adjudicators , and the family have had a long association with the Adjudicators ever since . Chris 's accent sounds American , although his home would once have been considered a part of England , and his surname may have a Germanic/Saxon derivation .   Chris is tall , blonde and muscular , and when he first met the Seventh Doctor and Bernice , he had had a `` body bepple '' ( bodily alteration ) which made him look like a teddy bear .   He and Roz were investigating a murder case in Undercity in the year 2975 when they encountered the Doctor and Bernice . They helped the Doctor defeat his old enemy Tobias Vaughn , who had been manipulating human advancement since the 20th century . Having realise the extent of corruption in the Earth Empire and the Adjudicators , Chris and Roz chose to leave in the TARDIS .   Chris and Roz travelled with the Doctor for many adventures . In this eventful period , Chris fathered two daughters : Jasmine Surprise Cwej-Hutchings with Ishtar Hutchings , and iKrissi with Dep of the People . After Roz 's death in battle , Chris continued to travel with the Doctor for a short time , but the event had a profound effect on him . During the events of Eternity Weeps , the Doctor 's former companion Liz Shaw contracted a deadly virus and begged Chris to kill her , however he was unable to do it . This and the subsequent death of millions of people from the virus caused Chris to question himself and first consider quitting the TARDIS . It took the apparent death of the Doctor in Japan to make him put aside his doubts and help protect the people of the local village from the local warlord , who wanted an alien device in their possession . The Doctor and Chris then travelled to the Doctor 's home planet of Gallifrey , where the Doctor faced members of his House and many dark secrets were revealed . After this , Chris decided to travel alone using a time ring given to him by Romana .   The book which depicts Chris 's sexual encounter with a gay man , Damaged Goods , was written by future executive producer of the series Russell T Davies , whose works often include gay themes . Much like Davies ' later introduction to the series proper , Jack Harkness , Cwej opines that sexuality is not an issue where he comes from .

neg: Film director A film director is a person who directs the making of a film . Generally , a film director controls a film 's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the screenplay ( or script ) while guiding the technical crew and actors in the fulfillment of that vision . The director has a key role in choosing the cast members , production design , and the creative aspects of filmmaking . Under European Union law , the director is viewed as the author of the film .   The film director gives direction to the cast and crew and creates an overall vision through which a film eventually becomes realized , or noticed . Directors need to be able to mediate differences in creative visions and stay within the boundaries of the film 's budget . There are many pathways to becoming a film director . Some film directors started as screenwriters , cinematographers , film editors or actors . Other film directors have attended a film school . Directors use different approaches . Some outline a general plotline and let the actors improvise dialogue , while others control every aspect , and demand that the actors and crew follow instructions precisely . Some directors also write their own screenplays or collaborate on screenplays with long-standing writing partners . Some directors edit or appear in their films , or compose the music score for their films .

neg: Christopher Evans (outlaw) Christopher `` Chris '' Evans ( February 19 , 1847 -- February 9 , 1917 ) , a native of Bells Corners near Ottawa , Canada , was an American farmer and teamster turned outlaw .   Evans was accused of robbing the Southern Pacific Railroad in California between 1889 and 1892 . After killing a member of a posse outside his home on the outskirts of Visalia , he fled to the Sierra Nevada mountains with his younger partner , John Sontag . While Evans and Sontag hid out , writers Ambrose Bierce and Joaquin Miller championed their cause in the San Francisco Examiner . The outlaws evaded capture for ten months . They had a shootout with a posse at the Young cabin which resulted in the death of Wilson , the posse leader , and McGinnis , a former friend of Chris Evans . Later , John Sontag was mortally wounded in what is called the Battle of Stone Corral .   Evans was himself severely wounded at Stone Corral , having lost an eye and his left arm . He was taken into custody and convicted of murder and sentenced to life in Folsom State Prison in Folsom , California . John Sontag 's younger brother , George Contant , testified against Evans and hence acquired the lifelong hatred of Evans ' family .   After Evans served for seventeen years at Folsom , he was paroled in 1911 by Governor Hiram Johnson , a liberal Republican , who had been elected on an anti-Southern Pacific campaign theme . Banished from California , he died in Portland , Oregon , in 1917 , denying to the end that he had ever robbed a train and continuing to assert that he had killed only in self-defense . He also wrote a socialist book which calls for expanded government to check what he viewed as the abuses of the business community . Evans is interred in Portland at Mount Calvary Cemetery .   An accomplice to the Evans-Sontag Gang was Ed Morrell , who served fourteen years total in Folsom and San Quentin . Championed by author Jack London , Morrell was pardoned in 1908 and thereafter became a well-known advocate for prison reform .   Morris Ankrum and John Smith portrayed Evans and Sontag , respectively , in an episode of the 1955 syndicated television series Stories of the Century , starring and hosted by Jim Davis . Jimmie Dodd of The Mickey Mouse Club appears as a deputy in this episode .
