What would you do if you had Bill Gate's entire fortune?
I'd do these things:

A) Build a particle beam weapon
B) Crack Fusion or Zero-point power, whichever came first
C) spend money on pro-GM and Nuclear power campaigns.
D) Fundamentally oppose religion in any possible way.
E) utilise the particle beam weapon to scare off bullies like the US.
F) Use revenues from Fusion/ZP power plants in addition to the startling turnaround my software company would show as far as the IP debate goes to setup a corporate-sponsered utopian nation.

G) see how things go from there.

Black text: The Last Starfighter

And yes, that movie, along with Flight of the Navigator, were the ones that probably inspired me, too. :D

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

oh yeah, I'd give money to the gvt so they hire more cops, i'm fed up of all the cars being forced open, I know nobody who hasn't been victim of those damn thiefs ( save me, but my car looked so old I guess nobody would have thought of finding anything interesting in it )

Hire me, please ;7 :thepimp:

Here's what I'd do, in order:

2. Quit job, work on FS.
3. Get new engine for my '74 beetle so I can sell it
4. Wife would make me buy a new house
5. Buy a commercial space transportation company, even if it's losing money :D

I would build a huge fleet of colony star-ships, and get most of the human-race off this planet while we still can.

And I would also buy myself a residence on Luna for good measure. :cool: :wink:
