I'd buy anandtech and make them put a programming and games forum. I'd also buy a video game developement company and have them custom develop games for me.

Besides buying a more comfortable place to live and paying off any debts my family has my wife and I would travel the world as tourists and missionaries. She could teach english (getting her doctorate in composition) and I would be able to help manufactoring companies start up (Industrial Engineer) as well as provide all the finances neccesary to jump start small economies.

I would also carry around a kick-butt gaming laptop so that my uber-1337 gaming skills would not lapse

PS, that remy quote was too good to pass up for my sig.

That costs way more than 1 billion.

Read the thread title, it says 'billions' but does not specify how many billions so that could be enough

I've only played paintball twice, but it was a blast.

So I'd probably buy a small town(population around 5000) and invite hundreds of people over for a massive scale, week-long paintball game. I'd provide pizza and beer.

Then I'd fulfill Walt Disney's original vision for Epcot by building the perfect futuristic utopian city.

Atypical things; Havings billions, I'd blow a few million on a house with the following features:
1. Wood slates that are removable, so I can run wires under them whenever I feel like if I get new electronic goodies with long cables
2. Extremely high level audio equipment throughout the house (the type with $20,000 audio cables) for maximum sound quality
3. A telescope like they have at Appalachian State University on the roof. It's in a mini-retractable dome they open whenever they use it
4. Secret passages with secret ways of opening them, like in the Batman movies
5. An underground survival lair in case of nuclear war; several years food supplies, several thousand gallons of gas, large power generator, walk in freezer, and a gigantic supercomputer, just because EVERY underground lair needs a gigantic supercomputer
6. The garage would have a gas pump with a separate gas tank from the lair, have my own gas periodically delivered when it gets low. I hate going to gas stations, so I don't have to worry about it as I can fill up at home
7. Just because, I'd have a room built to be a replica of the bridge from the original star trek series. Different stations would have remote access to certain features of the house (accessing wireless net connection, bluetooth connectivity for devices such as blue-tooth enabled fridge, the communication station would tie into the phone network, etc). Yes, each would have replicas of the sounds from the series too. The "view screen" (gigantic DLP) would be able to access the security cameras in and outside of the house, as well as satellite television and DVD player. The remotes for multiple functions for the AV system would be built into the Captains chair. Hey! You wanted atypical, this would be it.
8. A more normal AV setup in a micro-sized theater with red carpet, 3 rows of chairs (five chairs per row), maybe a ticket booth with a dummy, and a small popcorn stand out front. LCD projector, of course. Might have a "projector room" as well, just to freak out/impress guests.
