Regardless of how much "better" or "cheaper" your product might be, it's fraudulent to make claims about it which aren't true—including labeling it as "rhino horn" when it didn't actually come from a rhino.

In our case, about 20% of our servers are outdated and not kept as well maintained, as they used to host some important service, but their new replacement was built and that service was migrated, but nobody's 100% sure if there were any other latent, less important services running on that machine. So it stays on because everybody has more important things to do than find out what else is running on there, and perhaps more importantly, nobody wants to be the guy who shuts down the server that's still running some process someone relies on. So one or two servers of each type stays on, indefinitely, or until extended support finally ends. And yeah we have some physical redundant servers but for the most part everything is a VM now and we just have a one or two redundant VM hosts at our DR site. And an idle old server doesn't consume much of anything besides a gig or two of ram.

In theory you could run a mumble server on a private VPS. When I did it I used a VPS of the most minimal specs I could purchase at the time (1cpu, 1GB ram, linux) for about $7/month. I ran a mumble server for a community of about 3000 users for a couple of years and we would have 200 concurrent users with no latency issues. Voice and chat go over TLS. Mumble does not offer video chat however.

I would imagine that the number of 11 year olds who review past Illinois Supreme Court decisions in their spare time is vanishingly, vanishingly small.

When he finds out the commenter was an 11 year old middle-schooler on his lunch break in the library, and not the great political adversary that he's making it out to be.
 
Not only that, but it's exceedingly difficult to make an example out of an 11 year old, to other 11 year olds, and not looking like an out of touch politician who's been expertly trolled by someone one fifth his age. This seems like a huge waste of resources, politically and judicially.
 

If you pay full price for Win 10 you still get the full ownership experience. This option will always exist as they have to support enterprise users who require that kind of control over the machine. I have Win 8.1 pro running classic shell and I still have full control over my PC without having some crazy hotmail login, why would that change for Win 10?

That is not workable in practice on a large scale, because it would involve admitting to a defect in a product. If that defect were to cause some actionable tort, the admission would be used to wring the company dry.

His statement reads like an Apple marketing "press release."

Or, maybe he's dead, and his identity assumed by a State Actor.

He's avoiding imprisonment in Sweden because Sweden has an extradition Treaty with the US, and once he walks out the front door of that embassy and walks on that plane to sweden, it's about 50/50 odds he ends up in US custody.
 
That said, thanks for the tip on Jozsef Mindszenty, I am going to have to read up on that.

That list is about 100 titles shorter than I would have expected

... buy a commercial/business connection. Yes, it is more expensive. Yes, you get what you pay for, and nothing more.

If you're an IT pro, you'll appreciate the US-based support, static IP address, absence of blocked ports, and other services that typically come with business internet connections.

I turned off voicemail at my company 5 years ago, saving thousands per year, which i was able to move to the employee incentive program.

Nobody misses it at all.
