Truly, this is a nightmare made real.

Fortunately, some of us are smart enough not to click every stupid shiny thing we see in the web, or even use operating systems extremely vulnerable to this type of attack.

Not all operating systems are created equal, nor have the same attack surface. Not arguing against the usefulness of a firewall here, but what good is antivirus if most (of the really bad) exploits are zero-day? If you don't apply the remaining security patches, well, that's really a different issue.

Instead the collective socialist mentality at that cesspool beats down and oppresses opposing opinions every chance it gets.
Welcome to the Internet.
Which meant you had to provide a credit card whether you were ever going to buy anything or not.
Where did you get this information from? I have a PSN account, and have never entered my credit card into my PS3 (nor used it for PSN purchases).
The PSN login is there, and you have to pretend to log in, and it will tell you that "PSN is currently undergoing maintenance" with the option to close the message. Then, Netflix works.
Though, it does sometimes begin doing that inexplicable PSN-login-cycling thing it sometimes does, like when you leave Netflix idling too long.
NO SINGLE PERSON can know all of 3d graphics
That's funny, but incorrect.
what would happen
Fwoosh.
Oh my gosh! Did you warn them? About the dropdowns?
Slashdot became unreadable that day!
If all else fails, lower your standards.
