Okay, I see your point. But, he DID invent the illegal page fault, correct?

Not me. Here's what I know to be the case, from conventional wisdom:
1. Gore did NOT invent the internet. He invented the computer chip, which
enabled sombody-or-other to invent the computer when he/they saw we all
needed one.
2. Gates did NOT invent the first OS. He invented the computer with the
concept invented by Algore (also referred to as he/they above).
3. The Chinese military stole the secret to the computer created by Gate$,
with help of technology invented by Algore, and used it to create the
abacus. They then used this superior device to control their internal
population and threaten their neighbors.
4. The Japanese invented sushi, for which Algore later claimed credit, and
Gate$ stole the idea, changed it to only work with his own releases, and
gave away with his products for a time to enslave as many people as
possible. He then started charging $89.95 for an upgrade and $200-$300 for
full versions. M$-$ushi is now on 98% of all countertops in the world and
Gate$ predicts that Linux doesn't matter in this arena and will not be able
to compete on a level footing with the other M$ products, Including
M$-$almon and M$-Tuna$alad.
5. Bush couldn't pronounce the name of the Japanese Prime Minister. So he
praised Gate$f for his innovation and blamed the Clinton/Algore
Administration for letting America's sushi appetite become dangerously
dependent on sources outside of the United States.
Any questions?

I can't decide which wrong turn to make first.
