They've already "linked" terrorism with copyright 'theft', claiming that somewhere, someone is making some money somehow from it [via ads], and then given some of that money to a terrorist.
Obviously, the same goes for child porn, somewhere, there is a terrorist that has viewed an image of child porn, therefore, investigating child porn is an important part of our war on terror.
Bill picked it because it's backwards and is an awkward spot on keyboards. Thus, it is a very important character you have to regularly type in order to use his operating systems.
A distraction? You think everyone will just drop what they are doing to work on this? A small group will be tasked with seeing how well it works and then how it doesn't work [what frequencies it fails at].
No, that's WAY too new. Think regular till, where you punch in amounts, maybe scan in items, and the display is a single or couple of lines of text. Prints out a paper tape.
What do you mean? It still has the fucked up UI that spaces everything as if you have a touch-screen. The "start menu" has returned with live tiles, which pretty much only people using Win10 on tablets would possibly want.
And never mind the new and improved "your keyboard presses are our keyboard presses. no really, we need to know what keys you are pressing and you can't opt out of it. and no, we won't tell you how we are using them."
Sorry, the S.S.N. is a national id. It is used to identify you in any important document, in particular your tax return and passport. And even if it isn't directly asked for, your bank has it, as well as your credit card companies and anybody who buys your credit report.
better still have some real guards, otherwise someone will get control of just over 1/2 the prison population, and get them to throw the other half into the moat, then when the crocodiles are distracted, they make their escape...
My dad told me a story of when he worked at Kenworth, where a co-worker of his had worked for 24 years+, and six months before his retirement and pension, the boss fired him for cause [gave him a bad review, first one ever], just to try to save having to pay out the pension. It took almost a year for the guy to get his pension back through the courts. Of course, this was back in the '70s. Employers don't have to do this now.
It's not like GIJoe was any better at inflicting casualties, or even holding onto prisoners.
If anything, it was a huge military-industrial scam, two evenly matched sides, using incredibly expensive weapons, yet completely unable to even kill a few enemy soldiers.
And it was inappropriately set in the US, where something like this would never happen. They would at least manage to kill a whole bunch of civilians.

Didn't they do this dance 10-15 years ago? Bill put a big stop to everything and for 6-12 months MS was just focused on "security".
Someone should tell them it's not a 'every once in a while' thing.

Ah, ROT26. That's what Microsoft uses everywhere.
But the Patriot Act as been so good for America! The UK wants summa that lovin.
That wasn't an "e-meter" he was trying to get you to touch... or maybe it was, and it "measures" by getting longer and thicker.
no, the pigs are all in the plane.

On you it looks good...really! Keep wearing it all the time.
No, that was you having a movement on your bar stool.
They've already revved up the "this is because snowden told them how to avoid being watched by us" rhetoric.
and I'm sure France's next version of the patriot act is days away from being enacted. they just happened to have the legislation ready to go.

Windows! Cash tills are more likely to be running DOS. Thankfully, it's so old, nobody knows how to hack it anymore.
Glasses?

Aren't some of those connections hardcoded to specific IP addresses, so just blocking domains doesn't do the whole job...
And you can only 'defer' updates for so long.
No. It's just really into backdooring you, and you won't let it.
