Exactly how does one "get viruses" by simply visiting a website? It seems like that would require a massive amount of stupidity and an unsecured browser...
Hairy Potter gives them to you.

Yes of course valuable ESA technologies, because USA isn't producing anything of value.
Pretty sure NASA has been relegated to the status of "service provider" for SpaceX.
We Europeans have been trying to weed them out of our economy but apparently we need to approach it in an entirely different way, since we've only managed to hash it up so far. We'll now try to potshot them.
You must be high. We've nothing to fear from those dopes. For some, the grass is always greener on the other side.
Why good things are always acquired by douchebag companies and ruined to the ground? First Java, now this.
Shouldn't you also direct your ire at the people from R who decide that selling the company was a good idea. Do you really think that MS went to them and said
That's a nice company you have there. It'd be a shame if you didn't sell it to us
It's not unlikely.
Just so I know, you are kidding, right?
Didn't you hear? TOR protects you from everything. It's even more effective than trojan condoms at preventing STD's and unwanted pregnancy.
The files are sometimes corrupt - refusing to load in anything other than VLC
Do people still use players other than VLC? Weird.
Pretty much - most corporations have just barely (as in 2-3 years ago at most) updated from XP to Windows 7.
Good luck with pushing 8 to the corporate world... it's about as adoptable as an angry badger with syphilis.
More and more, I'm finding myself working at places where I really don't have to use a Windows UI if I don't want to. Right now I'm typing this on my corporate-issued MacBook Pro, and only rarely do I bother logging onto a Windows server (vSphere client, and even then only out of habit since the web-client works pretty much as well).
Don't get me wrong - Microsoft will still be in the business world for a goodly long time - we still use Outlook/Exchange, Active Directory, and even Sharepoint (for HR/Corp crap - all the important stuff is on Confluence.) Thing is though, Microsoft's hold in business is beginning to show cracks, and I suspect in about 5 years, there will be a bit of a crisis in Redmond...
Don't be so melodramatic. I think you don't understand large corporations. I work for a fortune 20 company and at the office Win8 has been the standard for well over a year. It requires freeware start menu programs for sure but otherwise it's no less usable than 7 or xp. Of course, "mainstream support" is probably also irrelevant for any corporation since they will have their own support contracts with vendors such as Microsoft. I'm sure lots of small businesses are an exception to this. For them, the win95 (or whatever os it came with) pc that is still running may be just fine.
A more ominous purpose existed for the Iranian space program existed, however. Iran, which is in the process of making a nuclear bomb, needs a way to deliver such a weapon.
LOL!
They don't have free phones where you live?
USA FTW
Hello hefty cancellation fine (or collection agency/bad credit) in the USA. Free phones are kind of like free North Koreans.
How is Origin malware? What does it do that makes it malware? It does have DRM but (depending on the game) its not exactly rocket science to either remove the DRM or find an existing no-DRM crack for your purchased game.
Origin gathers your personal information, computer information, application usage, software inventory, software usage, and peripheral hardware usage. It reports this data back to EA/Origin. You can Google about it or spend a few minutes and read your origin EULA.
