"I think you are missing a third group that contains in excess of 100 million people: those who want Windows 10 and believe that all things considered, it is a better choice for them than earlier versions of Windows."
I think you're misclassifying the group that we call "anybody who has bought a new computer in the past two years".
Nobody said the entire interview was through text.
It's likely much simpler to text somebody and arrange an interview than it is to call, leave a voicemail, wait for their call, possibly to your voicemail, and so on. Or do both. Call, and if it goes to voicemail, send a text as well. They'll read the text before listening to the voicemail, and can respond immediately if they're on a bus or grocery shopping, rather than waiting for later to listen to their voicemail.
Of course, I don't see professional texting catching on, but life would be much simpler if it did.
I wonder what the environmental impact of going out and collecting the plastic is. I'd bet a shiny penny that it's worse for the environment than just leaving that tiny amount of plastic in the ocean.
It's not like there are floating barges full of perfectly sorted plastic out there, the reason nobody's cleaning it up in the first place is because it's a horrible job to do so.
Like everything with government, it no longer has anything to do with safety.
The second it's a source of revenue it's milked for all it's worth in every possible edge case, with everybody who questions it on the pro-side of running over babies.
Parked by the curb, finishing your conversation before you put it in drive? The engine's running, you're on the phone, pay up.

"Mr. Kaseburg was wronged and is entitled to damages."
Not saying I agree with ripping off jokes, but what damages has he suffered? How has he been harmed?
Or maybe we can give him a little credit and assume he saw some sort of "if host exists, return, else infect".

The people running the call center provided exactly what was requested, the bare minimum at the lowest cost.
Things were fine when it was just the unicyclists.
Even the tricyclists were acceptable.
But not those damn bicyclists.
Wouldn't a special snowflake demand the test cater to them?
It sounds like quietly giving it a pass it probably the least snowflakey way to deal with something like that.

You sat there 90 minutes without identifying yourself?
...So, don't?
Or do.
If that's the sort of thing you're going to do, it's best they find out at the beginning of this process rather than some time after.
Why would somebody willingly engage in a game of phone tag?
I'd rather die of dysentery.
Well, maybe not die. But at least get really sick from.
The same can be said about you, but so far you just seem to be relaxing and contracting muscles in response to neurons firing.
If somebody had to repeatedly code the alphabet into you as a child, how can you say you learned to read?
There is no I, A or otherwise.
Craft an HTML file to exploit a javascript vulnerability that will make your perfectly valid browser executable execute arbitrary code, perhaps?
No change to executable files = virus.
How do you know he didn't?
"refusing a search warrant"
But that's not really a thing that you can do.
The search warrant is more of a statement than a question. The location will be searched.
At no point do you have to help them search.
Came here to say this same thing.
None of those things matter at all if you've already got a process running on the system and are looking for ways to shut down the AV.
It may not make sense, but AC wasn't lying.
There are areas where coke is a valid synonym for pop/soda.

More importantly, why do we need to stop them from checking their phones at a red light?
Is that why my Pi gives me a "space nutter" error whenever I try to play the Lunar Lander game?
I have weighed your wise words and am convinced by your compelling argument.
"the passenger was guilty of failing to comply with the captain's instruction."
Can you cite the relevant law, and is that an arrestable offense?
Unless you pull the flash chips, clone them, and work off the clones.
Put the originals back in when you want to make a warranty claim.
