Have you missed the extortion part? Slashdot refusing to censor comments on my request is a bit different from Slashdot asking me to pay or they will make sure they will be lot of defamatory comments.
Am I really? If I keep feeding them today, next day and next day (this time with 3 extra kids) then instead of helping them, I just taught them dependence.
It is not like they would admit to getting hacked if they can shift the blame to user. And let's not forget that probably half of NSA was fapping to these pictures.
Are there any fewer poor after Gates' pumped billions into help? Make a fire and man will be warm for rest of a day, set man on fire and he will be warm for rest of his life.
"unless a person has a pre-existing right to be free of the threatened economic harm, threatening economic harm to induce a person to pay for a legitimate service is not extortion," appeals court judge Marsha Berzon wrote in the decision."
So apparently nobody has pre-existing right to be free of smear campaign on Yelp.
Actually, they have insurance [uber.com], either commercial insurance held by the driver or a primary $1M liability and $1M uninsured motorist bodily injury policy provided by Uber itself.

'Any key' and 'wrong port' can be handled by FAQ or Indian guy reading from script - this is cheap. 'Audio does not work on weird distro X' requires immediate jump to at least level 2 support, which is more expensive by orders of magnitude.
Actually low margins is a good reason to stay away from Linux nerds as far as possible. They provide tiny minority of income and over average support costs, which makes selling to them net loss. I would not be surprised if some cheaper brands started explicitly lock out Linux/BSD.
Trial by jury of idiots is natural consequence of adversarial system - both prosecution and defence want jurors easy to manipulate, so they make sure that any smart ones are removed.

Can we have a week without yet another feminist whining about those nasty nerds? Stick this in some feminist blog.

Sure, or even simpler:
sudo rm -r /
It has advantage of removing all viruses.
You can root concept of morality in religion as many people do. Then you have your transcendence and existence outside of society.

All that ranting just because he could not get new phone *immediately*. What is wrong with this guy?
... legislate away my every inconvenience.

TL;DR version: might makes right.
What about good old standbys like assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest?
If it's a jury trial, the outcome may have more to do with the abilities of the lawyers involved than the actual merits of the case.
Isn't it the whole point of adversarial system?
And who is going to believe you? Once you have 'mental facility' on your record, your credibility is gone.

That's nice, but irrelevant in Germany.

No, not at all

What exactly are "MRA" types?
Are you the same AC that posted similarly idiotic anti-American first post in previous story?
They looked at 'Made in China' sticker and thought it is safe.
Then would they care about browser upgrade?
Why even bother with 32 bit builds?
Ok, so let's say experiment confirms that we live in holographic universe. And then what?
