This is the level of brain-dead scheme that the CIA has pulled many times in the past, but it's just as likely that they're just getting overwhelmed by one incompetent spammer with a fat pipe...
Microsoft should provide support for Windows XP if, and ONLY if they have a contractual obligation to do so, or they find it economically beneficial to their shareholders to continue this support. If neither are true, then they shouldn't.
Yeah, they were out of their depth when they tried to take on the whole internet. Their standard modus operandi worked for intimidating individuals, not thousands of pissed-off critics.
Religions work by indoctrination, shaming and isolating subjects to get them to believe absurd shit and then try to shield them from outside influences to make sure they don't find out. ..which is why the scientologits tried to isolate themselves with the Clam Nanny (I'm proud to have been one of the people they tried to block.)
She went into the first trial having announced her prejudice, and now she's just doubling down on her abuse of power because she's in a snit over Apple pushing back on the shakedown.
I've got a Nest thermostat too, and I'm fine with keeping it for now, but the first time I see an ad on it I'm going throw it through a window at Google's HQ.

Let us know when he can actually control it. Right now it looks like he's channeling Jackson Pollock.

Ploesti was a very expensive target to take out. Allied casualties were massive. Hundreds of men were lost in a single day.

You're saying that he's racially disqualified from making accurate observations about groups other than those to which he himself belongs?
That's a racist premise, sunshine.

They look at those that get implants as traitors.
That's pretty fucked up.

When you electrolyze water, it divides into hydrogen and oxygen, as any 4th-grader should know.

All US carriers are nuclear-powered, and being able to synthesize aviation fuel would drastically reduce the logistics cost of operating them.

If you stub your toe, is that evil? Should God have stopped you?
It fucking hurts, and if god existed, he'd be a jerk for letting it happen!

Seems to me that if you care about securing your software, you shouldn't be deploying it on Windows in the first place.

You mean she went into the first trial, examined the evidence, and came to some kind of conclusion?
No, that's what she was supposed to do. What she actually did was make up her mind before hearing any of the evidence.

But then why is he anti-violence in games?
That's probably just some unrelated noise-making on his part.

Smuggling and the black market are the only thing keeping North Koreans alive.

It makes perfect sense that a smuggler wants to outlaw whatever he's smuggling. The cocaine cartels don't want drug legalization either.
