"The perjury part applies only to (vi) - that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright holder and that the contents of the claim are accurate."
Incorrect. Perjury is perjury, stated or not. I know of two former landlords of mine with perjury charges.
Perjury is lying to the officiating authorities (police are not an officiating authority, they have no legal right to judgement) under oath or sworn testimony.
"I'm not sure it counts as perjury under the DMCA as you'd have to prove they were intentionally lying and not just making mistakes through carelessness."
Incorrect. You have to claim that all statements made are accurate and made in good faith.
"It does, but it only applies if the false claim is false in the sense that it wasn't filed by the copyright holder or someone they appointed to represent them."
Incorrect. You must sign under penalty of perjury that ALL CLAIMS MADE are accurate and made in good faith.
I file DMCAs quite often, so I know the whole rote already.
The claim made by the corporate representative is neither made in good faith (likely done automated) nor accurate.
"You want to believe your antiquated POS is built like a tank, you go right on ahead. I just hope you never find out the hard way that it isn't."
It's survived several accidents at highway speeds, along with me in it. Most vehicles that ever hit it got totaled, the exception being a lifted truck which managed to perfectly align its tires with mine and crawl up on my trunk from behind. That truck had no damage and I only had to replace a dropped fender.
"Linux has already removed the reason of needing VM's for running your applications thanks to the control groups kernel feature."
That doesn't work with many bits of my software. To run multiple worlds in the game I'm creating, I need multiple separate server VMs with their own IP addresses for server linking and physical separation of game content. I can't just run the server application multiple times in the same instance. The game engine software was not designed to operate like that.
"And thanks to Hyper-V, MS can double-license you. Once for your Hyper-V and then for each Windows VM running on it."
I figured out a way around that ages ago. Run ReactOS VMs inside Hyper-V. More Windows programs work there than under Linux!
"The only good thing coming out from it, is that Windows is now looking in providing non-GUI server installations."
They've offered that for well over a decade with Core installations. I've been using non-GUI installs since Server 2003.
"The answer to that might be, *nix isn't as easy to exploit as Windows is, and we like it that way."
BWAHAHAHA oh you're straight-up fucking kidding yourself. Go take a look at the BILLION smartphones running Android (Linux) which are extremely vulnerable to all kinds of shit.
"Yet, more than a billion laymen are happy running Windows, which they can't claim to understand"
Windows can write their shit in plain English for a regular user to understand. Linux manuals? 95% of the ones I've come across might as well qualify for a guide to neurosurgery written in binary. No documentation on what symbols mean what or do which function?
It seems as if plain English is non-existent in the Linux community. Your own failure to understand the basic plain English I just spoke is a prime example of this, with your own cherry-picking of my quote proving this even moreso. I stated "Get off your fucking high horse, and write something in plain legible English for once in your life. NO FUCKING TECHNICAL TERMS."
Apparently you can't understand from my words that THE TYPICAL AVERAGE USER doesn't want all these technical terms thrown at them in a manual. This is why most people don't read a fucking manual in the first place.
Until you get your manuals sorted and in the sort of plain English like you were supposedly taught in Elementary school, Linux isn't going to go very far.
"Hell, if you even want to install Windows XP on a typical notebook in AHCI mode, you're going to need the iastor (or whatever, but usually, iastor) drivers slipstreamed into the disc."
Three notebooks here. Not a single one uses AHCI mode. All running SATA. I don't use NCQ or hot-swapping/plugging. I go into BIOS and turn on legacy mode. XP installs JUST FINE. No drivers required.
" I have personally had to go through this process before"
What, once in your lifetime? I do it daily. I take Win7/8 machines and get them loaded with XP every single day, with every single piece of hardware working. Do you not know that with the advent of WDDM and UNIFIED DRIVER ARCHITECTURES (thank you nVidia for starting this trend) the days of specialized hardware under Windows are almost entirely gone? The only thing that stops it is software written by the companies, and that's such a minor workaround as to be NOWHERE NEAR as difficult as a Linux install. It's almost ALWAYS as simple as modifying the.ini file to get the OEM driver package to recognize the hardware. That's it.
I have plenty of the same problems. PulseAudio is a piece of laggy shit. Most of the programs I use, the Linux alternatives FUCKING SUCK. The filesystem nomenclature and readability is near incoherent garbage and symbols unless you're some guru - where's your goddamned PLAIN FUCKING ENGLISH FOR THE REGULAR USER, NERD? Your configs are scattered all over the fucking filesystem for various things, and any attempts to make them remotely accessible in a GUI format, all-in-one or individually, are all wrecked failures. EVEN REACTOS RUNS WINDOWS PROGRAMS BETTER THAN LINUX.
And then it's MORE than the operating system - it's the attitude of Linux users like you - "That's not a Linux problem." You're right, it's the problem of YOU. You and your Linux ilk have ZERO HUMILITY. And it shows any fucking time someone tries to get help for something - "RTFM." I can't read your shit symbol-laden non-English chickenscratch, Doctor Binary. Get off your fucking high horse, and write something in plain legible English for once in your life. NO FUCKING TECHNICAL TERMS. If you can't make something for the layman to understand, YOU HAVE ZERO FUCKING BUSINESS SELLING IT TO THE LAYMAN.
And since Linus can't be bothered to get you assholes to write legible plain-English manuals, that makes him just as worthless, as leader of this whole goddamned thing. You don't think of the users, or your future users. You only think of yourselves when you do this shit.
If you people used your brains and bit your goddamned pride, you'd have found a way to merge ReactOS into Linux and you could blow Windows straight the fuck out of the water.
But I doubt you can pull your heads out of your collective ass long enough to even get that far.
Even MenuetOS beats your ass hands down, and it's a fucking BABY project.
Uh, you do know how the Windows Logo certification works?
Device makers have to follow Windows driver model, not the other way around. There's literally nothing specialized about laptop hardware. In windows it's quite often a simple.ini change and suddenly the hardware is recognized by an OEM driver package. That's how I get new GPUs working on Windows XP, especially on laptops.
"Aside from having to reinstall all your apps after you reinstall the OS, because they stuffed all the important config information in the registry, which you just wiped."
Hey guys, check this noob out! He installs programs that relies upon a registry in the first place in Windows!!!!!!
"And yes, Linux is great for servers. With one exception - I have not seen a proper alternative to MS Exchange server."
Add another exception. You guys still have nothing comparable to a RemoteFX + HyperV solution that lets me part and piece out a multi-CPU multi-GPU multi-node system into specific VMs with specific number of GPU cores, GPU RAM, CPU cores/threads, and CPU RAM.
And the reality is, that Microsoft's solution SUCKS since they literally halved the performance between RDP7 and RDP8.
That judge was an idiot. Same thing happened to my fiance's car here in CA. They damaged it while towing it away. He paid to get it back, and turned around sued for the damages done to the car, and won. The judge found the tow company negligent in reclaiming the vehicle intact. Even Ford stepped up on our side.
If the vehicle is legally repossessed, then the possession of the car defaults to the company taking the vehicle back, as the 'owner' no longer has a legal right to it.
Possession is 9/10 of the law.
Thus the company taking the vehicle back would be at fault and liable.
"And thats before we get onto lack of collapsable steering column"
Most steering columns to day don't collapse. Because of the airbag itself. Older cars, the steering wheel would unlock and shift upwards in an accident. Intrusion of engine block? Yea, good luck getting through that centimeter-thick steel firewall from any collision with anything short of a semi tractor.
Airbags cause:
Abrasion to the face, chest or upper extremities
Contusion of the face, chest, upper extremities, knees or internal organs
Strain, fracture or blunt trauma to the cervical spine
Burns on the chest, upper extremities or hands
Fracture or break in the face, upper extremities or wrists
Fracture in the skull or rib cage
Loss of consciousness or concussion injuries
Bruising or swelling of the brain
Laceration to the veins, arteries, heart, lungs or brain stem
Laceration to the liver or spleen
Compression of the brain or traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Rupture inside the heart muscle
Eye injury such as rupture to the globe, retinal tear, corneal abrasion or conjunctivitis
Hearing loss or ear trauma
Trauma to the fetus of a pregnant women or puncture in the placenta
Internal bleeding
Wrist trauma and sprained fingers
Irritation in the throat, asthma attack or coughing
Irritation of the skin, also called airbag dermatitis
The police package (Interceptor engine, slightly modified transmission, external directional lights) adds about 150 pounds. I've installed plenty of those packages for regular security cars.
"Depending on what you like really nice once can be had for less than $10,000"
Dude, go pick up an Auto-Trader magazine (if they're even still in print, you can usually find them on the periodicals rack in 7-11 stores.)
Then drop your price in half, or more./looking at a nice 1978 LTD land sled, pristine, $3,000. Sure gas mileage sucks, but it's a fucking TANK in construction and will eat up most any other modern vehicle that decides to get in a collision with it.
" Heck, people have gotten so lazy that they don't even want to actually put the key into the ignition and turn, they want push start!"
In a zombie apocalypse, every second counts. If I don't have to fuck about with putting a key in my escape vehicle so I can get away safely, I'll fucking take it!
I don't think zombies know how to use or trigger EMPs.

Guess you never heard of bot pathing in games. To path a bot is to program it to follow a specified routine.
Catch up with terminology, and keep your mouth shut until you understand the words being spoken.
"Hacking my brakes wont work, the pedal goes to the floor to try and stop this 2 and a quarter ton"
The registered weight for a Crown Vic made in 2001 is not even 2 tons.
"3,946 lbs 2001 Ford Crown Victoria, Curb weight"
So unless you got one with a railroad track segment welded to the back end, you aren't breaching 4500 pounds.
Or do you weigh that much? They were land sleds big enough to accommodate people of that size, much like my old Ford LTD.

Batteries and wiring harnesses would be the most vulnerable in older cars. EMPs have a field day with energy storage and transmission.
" To protect against nuclear EMP (since we were talking Fallout)? Not so much. Even 70s and 80s cars use coils and ECUs"
No. Heavy use of electronics in critical car control systems didn't happen until about 1987.
Most anything before that is perfectly fine if it's not in possession of an electronic-controlled fuel injection system or transmission.
