The king of computer software Bill Gates has received an honorary knighthood from the Queen.
The king of computer software Bill Gates has received an honorary knighthood from the Queen.
Mr Gates, 48, the world’s wealthiest man, said it was “a great honour” to be recognised for his business skills and for his work on poverty reduction. The Queen had spoken to him about using computers, he said after a private audience with her. As an American citizen he cannot use the title “Sir” but will be entitled to put the letters KBE after his name.
I bet she uses Linux.

Matt "Lincoln" Russell is Icrontic's platform chief. Icrontic's web dev guy. The guy who pushes buttons. The man who turns the crank, throws the levers, and turns the dials. He's like that little weird dwarf in the engine room, you know? In those weird steampunk games?
No, but all joking aside, he's the guy we go to with all of our complaints. Sorta like the staff punching bag. Also he owns the site, along with Brian Ambrozy.
