At dusk, Tommy and Jason sat on a bench outside the Stanford University Mall, drinking soda and eating the secret burger of Stanford's unique "Impossible to Graduate Burger Joint".

The reason why this burger restaurant is called this is because the owner is in his forties and has not yet obtained a diploma from Stanford University, in fact, he has completed his studies in the next ten years and can graduate, but he no longer wants to graduate and leave Stanford, after all, the business of the burger restaurant is very good, and the wife he met when he opened the burger restaurant was very beautiful, and she was still an associate professor at Stanford University at that time.

If you were a normal man, you wouldn't want to leave again.

And Jason's loser girlfriend Susie, Sophia nominally served as a shopping guide for the two, but in fact, under the leadership of Quinn, who blatantly ate the tofu of two women, rushed into the opposite Stanford shopping center to shop.

"Is the university in your home state of Rhode Island like a fucking Stanford? If you take your girlfriend for a ride on campus, you can spend tens of thousands of dollars? Jason drank the juice, looked at his girlfriend who could attract the attention of others wherever he went, and said in a tone of doubt about the world:

"I didn't understand why Stanford University built such a large high-end shopping mall, how could students have money to spend, but now I understand, they may not want to make money from students, and the huge girlfriend group of Silicon Valley alumni can keep their sales at a high level, which is why Susie urged me to take her back to the Stanford campus every once in a while to experience the campus culture, and the price of returning to her alma mater is not ordinarily large, and the capitalists should really hang themselves! The black hands that make money have actually reached into the campus! ”

The Stamford shopping mall that Jason cursed in his mouth stood blatantly in front of him at this moment, covering an area of nearly 130,000 square meters, and all kinds of high-end luxury brands have opened branches here, as long as you have money, you can buy everything from real estate, cars, private yachts, to the latest women's underwear from luxury brands in this shopping mall.

"It may also be that the school is worried that the graduating alumni are not enthusiastic about donating to their alma mater, so the remedial measure is not to donate, then try to let those guys spend a large amount in the school." Tommy took a bite of the burger and said in a muffled voice.

Jason emptied the soda until there was a hissing sound in the straw before he spoke, "Why did you go to see the professor first?" You should know that the professor will not support you, he has not advocated Internet freedom for a year or two, otherwise why do you think that the Internet United Nations organization asked him to be the chairman, you should go back to the company, make a business plan, promote the listing of AmigaOS, and then talk about the friendship between teachers and students after the listing. ”

"Have you been urged by many people in the past two years, after all, the news that Microsoft has given birth to nearly 20,000 millionaires seems to have happened yesterday, and those guys are in a hurry to bring that thing to the market, go public to make money, continue to expand, and then spin off the money in the market...... I guess that's what those guys mean when they say to you. Tommy finished the burger, got up and threw the garbage in the trash can, and sat back down before he said to Jason slowly:

"What they say to you, if I want to, before they even know it, can do it before they know it, put the money in their pockets, why should I run to the damn TV network, why should I * damn Murdoch's ass, why don't I graduate and go back to the company to polish AmigaOS with you, but let Sophia help me sort through the minutes of the countless meetings that I faxed to me every day, wasting time and going through them slowly, instead of sitting directly in the conference room with you and having an exciting discussion, Like when I was at Actor? ”

"Because you haven't tried an old Australian man's ass?" Jason asked with a smile.

Tommy nodded: "Maybe, the harvest of prostitution is quite rich, because when AmigaOS really appears, the former EFF alliance will no longer exist, and the development of computers will shift from the previous commercial and educational to the Internet and home entertainment, it is a beautiful blue ocean like the Pacific Ocean, sharks will pour in, bite or be bitten by opponents, until that sea is dyed red, and rely on existing TV networks and vulgar newspapers, in the name of freedom and free, etc., Let the largest number of ignorant underprivileges support us and act as the teeth of our sharks. ”

"Almost all of the wealth you've gotten over the years, except for your Los Angeles property, has been donated in the name of supporting all kinds of freedom and justice, and I certainly know that those donations are not purely for freedom and justice, but I don't quite understand, Tommy, frankly, remember the first time we met? E-66 dormitory, we asked each other about the purpose of coming to California to study, and found that everyone's purpose was exactly the same, it was for the California hot girls, and our current wealth ......" Jason said this, looked around, and leaned into Tommy's ear:

"It can make all the women in California line up to come to the door, one a day from now on, or even ten a day if you want, enough for us to sleep until we die at the age of ninety."

After saying this, he sat up straight again and asked sanctimoniously: "If you like power, then go and run for president, like wealth, you already have it now, Why?" Why can't you just make money according to the conventional business methods, make yourself easy, launch AmgiaOS, let the various departments of the company make plans, or you like to decide everything yourself, you can also go to the company and stare at various data reports every day, why does it always give people a very aggressive impression. ”

"Jason, what did I say, you lack a sense of social responsibility and only think about women all day long, which is why you are nicknamed me Righteous Man and you are called Cowherd." Tommy took out a cigarette, gave one to the other person, and said with a smile, "We should use our wealth to help make this country a better place." ”

Jason took the cigarette: "yes, if you say social responsibility, if you mean sending a fool who believes in the theory of the earth to Congress and let this fool build a better America, you did it." ”

"Do you know what is the most attractive thing about America? It's democracy and freedom, and in this country, we can do whatever we want, right? Tommy helped Jason light a cigarette, then lit it himself, and said to himself, "How are your three children who have been sent abroad?" Have they ever thought about what they want to do when they grow up? ”

Jason rolled his eyes: "How do I know, I don't care what they do, just like their mothers don't care if I'm still alive, only if I can continue to pay alimony for me if I die suddenly, or simply divide all my property." ”

"Well, to take the example of my unborn child with Otiria, for example, we gave birth to a lovely and pure little angel like Otilia, he is not interested in the family business at all, and when he grows up, he just wants to be a doctor who heals and saves people, or a poet who sings about a good life, etc., I, as a father, of course have to support his decision, he can do whatever he wants, this is his freedom, but the problem is, if he has a small accident in an operation and accidentally treats more than a dozen patients, Or at the scene of the 3K Party poetry recital, because the new poem was successfully written, I accidentally burned a few to death, what should I do? ”

Jason looked at Tommy's serious expression and scratched his hair in despair: "Should you consider killing this child, buddy, a small accident of surgery is to kill more than a dozen patients?" Are you sure your child is wearing a white doctor's uniform and holding a scalpel? It sounds more like you're wearing a combat uniform with an assault rifle in your hand. ”

"Just as an example, right, my little angel is likely to be in trouble by this country because of an accident, and if he is a little guy with very strong self-esteem, who chooses to take all the responsibilities as an adult, and doesn't ask me for help at all, I, as a father, really stand by and watch?" Tommy excitedly elaborated on his case.

This guy's excited expression gave Jason a delusion, when it came to abusing black people, Tommy was even more excited than talking about women, so as a friend, he thoughtfully gave the most tacit reply:

"No, of course I can't sit idly by, if it's my child, maybe I'll apply to the judge, and I'll take a gun and execute him, and I will break him with my own hands, buddy, he killed a dozen patients or burned several black people, even if you take out all the money and hire the best lawyer, it won't change the fact that he's a criminal."

Tommy glanced at Jason, "Indifferent bastard, you have to understand the meaning of family first, my father used to use this word on his lips, so I thought I should help him correct his mistakes." ”

"According to you, your bastard kid can do the same job as a terrorist, and sending him to the gallows is the only way for this country to correct its mistakes." Jason continued to make up the knife mercilessly.

"If I have billions of dollars in assets and I like women, it is true that as you said, I can let different women give birth to me every day until I die completely, maybe even if I die, there are women who will not let go of my birds, help me bite my corpse, and then use it for IVF." Tommy sighed, paused for a moment to organize his words, and then spoke again:

"But what about the children, I always have to find some more considerate nannies to take care of them, so that these nannies can appear in the little accidents that I have given examples, and make sure that it is the deceased and the country that make the mistake, and definitely not my children."

Jason had a knowing expression: "According to your virtues, it is nothing more than lobbying companies to lobby those politicians, judges ......"

"No, no, no, I mean live-in nannies, not part-time workers, just like when your hometown of Mississippi was in the Confederate States of America, those estate owners would always choose close family school-age children to accompany their children to study, spare no effort to pay for their college expenses, train them to become lawyers, doctors, sheriffs, etc., and then in the process of inheriting the family business, let those old politicians teach the new generation of servants who belong to their children, let them run for mayor, congressman, governor, attorney general, The Chancellor and even the President. Tommy looked at Jason:

"Do you think billions of assets are enough to pay for these high-end nannies? Obviously not enough, not enough, naturally they will not help me solve the little accidents that my children and grandchildren encountered, the best way is to let them and the Hawke family become one, inseparable, just like the state of the five of us during the Actor period, I will decide everything, and you will be responsible for the execution. ”

"The Rockefeller house in New York State, right, looks dismembered, but in fact it merges with the whole of America, from occupying a few aortas to integrating into the whole body, everywhere." Jason flicked his cigarette ash and summed up Tommy's words: "Don't insult the white Mississippi haciendas, they're cleaner than the New Yorkers of the North." ”

Tommy didn't dwell on the examples he gave like Mississippi or New York, and continued: "It doesn't matter, anyway, at that time, if my children burn, those nannies only need to be responsible for telling the people, and the investigation is very clear, those tied themselves to the cross, and then lit gasoline themselves, just ordinary self-immolation incidents, the fault is the dead, they ran to the Ku Klux Klan club to provoke and harass with self-immolation, so that the white great poets on the scene suffered serious psychological trauma, This is a serious act of racial discrimination, and the poet is considering claiming compensation for moral damages from the family of the who burned to death. ”

"Are you too extreme, one of my SSD members thinks the self-immolating in your mouth are a little pitiful." Jason heard that after the was burned, the murderer had to claim mental damages from the deceased's family, and his face was full of expressions that wanted to swear but couldn't:

"So, the babysitting fee is far from enough...... No, or if you need to be a loyal servant, you need to show that you are strong enough to be in control so that they are willing to believe and be willing to stand around you, and you want to tie their interests to you or your family, and obviously this kind of control is not enough in your opinion, you see, it's a liberal democratic and attractive America, are you sure that this country attracts only human beings? How did you get attracted to people like you? ”

Tommy shrugged after speaking: "It's not hard to understand why I'm always aggressive, right, it's not time to stop, and when it's time to stop, I'll definitely disappear like the Rockefeller family, become one with the country, and spend all day studying how to live longer." ”

"When you say so much to me, do you mean to treat me as your subordinate?" Jason suddenly rolled his eyes suspiciously, looked at Tommy and asked.

Tommy immediately explained: "No, Daddy Jason, you know, I am full of gratitude and adoration for you, you are simply the savior and foreign parent of the Hawke family, without you, I might not even have received my Stanford diploma now." ”

"Don't stop, keep boasting."

Tommy continued: "If you don't mind if you don't mind the three bastards who don't care about life or death, you can study it in the spirit of the principle of not wasting it. ”

"Die, I...... After all this nonsense, you haven't said why you want to see the professor first. Seeing that someone was sitting down on the bench next to him to rest, Jason changed the subject at the right time.

"If we don't inform the professor first, and hide from him to bring Amiga, browsers, and MCI-Mail to the market, according to Professor Winton's temper of an Internet liberal, I'm afraid that we will immediately turn against us, and if he turns his face, the group of freedom-advocating bigwigs behind him will also turn their faces, and then Stanford University will stand on the professor's side and condemn us, and eventually we will become the public enemies of Silicon Valley, even if we donate all our property and all the tadpoles in our bodies, Neither of them can be understood by Professors Stanford and Winton. Tommy also returned to his normal gentle expression, explaining:

"But I'm like a hairy boy, and I rushed to tell Professor Winton that I did it, and I also asked Stanford University to apply for a lot of related patents, and I just want to grab the market for operating systems, what will the professor think of me? In his eyes, Tommy is an arrogant young man, thinking that he is confident, this cruel world will teach him a cruel lesson, the patent held by Stanford University will definitely be invalidated by the court, and the speed of the ruling will be passed very quickly under the impetus of those large companies, and soon I can see Tommy appear in front of me with his head down, so my image in the professor's mind at this time, although a little greedy, a little frizzy, but not too bad, it seems that there is still salvation, just need to take a few more of his Internet courses, Listen to his thoughts on Internet freedom, and understand why the Internet needs a free and open environment, and he will immediately become a good young man. ”

"The problem is, the professor's speculation should be very accurate, I always think that your patent moat is completely useless, you know, Microsoft CEO Bill Gates's dad is a member of the board of directors of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, and their father and son are both members of the board of directors of this chamber of commerce, and his dad is also the chairman of the bar union of Seattle King County, and he is also the president of the bar union of the entire Washington state, and there are more lawyers who have gone from his union to the judicial position in the United States than I have ever been to a California girl. Otherwise, why do you think Microsoft settled in Seattle and almost undefeated the plagiarism lawsuit? You're trying to slow things off with the patent thing, like Susie trying to stop me from taking off her clothes, and before I can do anything, the clothes are already falling. After listening to Tommy's words, Jason immediately gave another difficult question:

"There was a small company whose software functions were plagiarized by Microsoft, and the company thought it was winning, but as a result, the lawyer and the owner of the company didn't know what the state law was violating in Seattle, and was deported by the state police, and couldn't attend the court ruling on time, and finally delayed until Microsoft found favorable evidence to turn the tables, and the original claim of 80 million became that Microsoft only needed to settle out of court and pay several million."

Jason's experience working in Silicon Valley in the past few years has made him clear about Microsoft's energy in the industry, so Tommy said that using patent rights as a moat to delay Microsoft, Apple's big companies to enter the market, he feels that it is completely useless, and the lawsuits of other companies may take a year or more to go through the normal process, but Microsoft's lawsuits can be at least three times faster, because lawyers and judges have its people, and there is a huge organization such as the Seattle Chamber of Commerce behind it that is willing to help it act as an amicus curiae in court.

Tommy spat out the last puff of his cigarette and then extinguished the cigarette butt: "You know Charles' girlfriend Liz's dad is the secretary of defense, right?" ”

"That's not a secret, the SSD brothers know it." "The Secretary of Defense doesn't care what the court decides," Jason said. ”

"Do you know what happened when Murdoch left the United States and liquidated his assets, a female actress friend of mine named Sandra Bullock, she suddenly became a partner in Ted Newspapers, the largest shareholder of the Washington Post, and the Ted family held the second largest share." Tommy looked at Jason with some embarrassment and whispered.

Jason nodded understandingly: "Held for Charles's future father-in-law?" ”

"Patents are for potential resistance people like professors, but against those big companies, you need really powerful machines." Tommy didn't deny it, but before he could continue, Susie, Sophia, and Quinn walked out of the mall with large bags and small bags, and Susie shook her arms at the two and asked, "Are you two men okay?" What are you talking about? ”

"We're talking about WinStar preparing to hire you as vice president and head of new product launches, and Jason agreed." Tommy said to Susie without blinking.

Jason quickly turned his head and asked Tommy in a low voice, "When did you tell me about this?" ”

"Your girlfriend's identity experience is more in line with the interpretation of freedom, she came forward to publicize, can greatly alleviate the dissatisfaction of those Internet nerd groups who advocate open source and openness to us, and turn into sympathy, after all, Susie is just a self-taught hacker, no higher education, female weak, and then let Susie come forward to explain why WinStar asked Stanford University to register the patent right, just say that she has not studied in college, everything depends on self-study, she does not understand the freedom of the Internet thoroughly, and she is not registering patents for profit, Instead, she chose to register at Stanford University, which she has always admired, because of her desire for Stanford University's temple of knowledge and Silicon Valley, and when the product is launched, she is willing to go to Stanford University and Silicon Valley for further study, and then vaguely mentions her part-time job, for example, she has been a vice president during this time, and she has been an SM queen in Silicon Valley, hoping to use her part-time job to absorb the nutrition of Silicon Valley geniuses, believe me, fools will eat this set. ”

"Lao Tzu went to make a small movie for the company, and Lao Tzu's girlfriend went to be the queen for the company? This is the patriarch of the Hawke family, this is the Hawke family's alien surname * slave! Jason's eyes widened, glaring at Tommy.

"Didn't Jason say he would let me go to Stanford University for further study?" Susie was stunned for a moment when she heard Tommy's words, and then saw the two of them whispering sneaky, suspiciously walking from a distance.

"Jason has changed his mind." Tommy smiled at Susie and said, then lowered his voice and said to Jason: "It's not really to let Susie receive guests again, just like you didn't really release a small movie, it's just a gimmick, in short, you agree, I'll pay for Susie's consumption today." ”

"No, your training has been postponed, and Tommy and I need your help." When Jason heard Tommy's words, he immediately stood up and smiled at his girlfriend.

Susie looked at Jason with a puzzled face: "What help?" Vulnerability detection in AmigaOS? That system security is okay, not as bad as Windows. ”

Jason pushed Susie towards the mall: "No, help me, go back and continue shopping, if the consumption is less than one million, you are not allowed to walk out of that door!" First of all, ask the property, is this mall sold, if it does, we will buy the whole building! Go！ Now！ ”

Sophia took Quinn's shoulders around at this time and looked at the suddenly bold Jason in surprise: "Can the two of us be okay?" ”

Jason turned his head to look at Tommy, Tommy turned his head to look at the sunset in the distance, Jason could only try to squeeze out an expression full of envy on his face, and said with a bewitching tone: "Tommy won't let me pay for you, he insists on handing over his credit card to you, one for each person." ”

"Thank you, Tommy, for being your most generous!" Sophia smiled in surprise after hearing this, and then immediately dragged Quinn to follow in Susie's footsteps and disappeared into the crowd of people in the shopping mall.

"Why didn't she come and get your card?" Jason looked at Tommy suspiciously: "Sophia has been brainwashed by you to work for you at her own expense?" ”

Tommy looked at Jason with an idiotic gaze: "Silly*, is there a possibility that it's because my card, cash, and even fucking Trojan are all in her bag!" ”

After scolding, Tommy got up and walked into the distance, took a few steps and returned to Jason: "Lend me ten dollars." ”

"Do what?" Jason looked at Tommy suspiciously.

Tommy looked into the distance and said the question he was thinking about in a philosopher's tone: "BDP is a big gift today, and I want to go to the scene to think about a question, that is, I have watched it for four years in a row, why I haven't gotten tired of watching it." ”
