So no true Scotsman, then. Got it.

How do you a pull a patch after the PC is unbootable? They put one out just two years ago that did that if you had Kaspersky.

I'm sure Microsoft has great lawyers, but I still think they might be opening themselves for liability on this one. By forcing updates, they're taking personal responsibility for the maintenance of your system. If one of their patches bricks your PC or causes you to lose data, they are responsible. I don't think "as is" applies anymore.

No, there are two more ways. - You are on a multi-lane road, and the vehicle in the adjacent lane decides to change lanes in front of you and immediately hit the brakes. - A car merging from an on-ramp merges directly in front of you and hits the brakes.

Try logging a million miles, as these cars have, and see how many times you are rear-ended.

These results don't surprise me, as I (and other safe drivers I know) am often rear-ended. Other drivers run lights, and expect others to do so all the time-- that's one reason. Another reason might be that I have a black car. But it also has huge taillights (Olds Alero), so...

I was rear-ended three times over eight years. That's about when I started looking in my rear-view mirror to see if the driver behind was going to stop in time, and roll forward a little bit if possible. Seriously, I avoided two potential minor rear-end hits this way... they missed me by inches. I'm not sure if I want to program driverless cars to do this.

then why don't you pay double for your gasoline? you are getting a 50% discount thanks to government subsidies

Yeah... the government already took tax money from me and gave it to oil companies. Obviously, that is not a free market, but I won't fault you for not understanding that because it's above the level of your third grade Social Studies class. By the way, your mom says it's time for dinner.

Comcast seems to have a natural monopoly, as a utility. Most libertarians understand this, not being actual straw men.

we all want free money

No, that "free money" comes from the government.

Well, considering that Monroe's fame exploded when she appeared nude in Playboy, I'm not sure that clothing level was an issue.

I'm guessing that the lack of artificial enhancement is the problem. If you don't have fake DD cups, 40% tattoo coverage, and multiple body piercings, you don't register. For these folks, even Bettie Page is too tame and boring.

It was setting up a Secretary of State of a very powerful nation with her own private email server so that she could get around the government's pesky email archiving.

2 must have apps which are impossible to ever replace

Those must-have apps must be worth a lot of money, because paying Microsoft for special post-EOL support is quite pricey. And if you aren't paying Microsoft for security support, then that is likely to be even pricier.

He likes fishsticks?

When you go to a coffee shop or convenience store and see a donation center for curing your favorite disease, read the fine print. Almost all of them will say the donations go to something like "cancer awareness".

Well, the way they increase cancer awareness is through donation centers placed in coffee shops and convenience stores. And those ain't free.

Which totally means you get to steal it. Maybe I thought that way when I was 14.

The total lack of logic here reveals the darkest side of the millennial generation.

You presume the word "abandoned" refers to a property which the previous owner has handed over to the state, perhaps for something like unpaid property taxes. Usually "abandoned" means "disused". It's still owned by a private citizen. You don't get to steal just because it's not being used. Heck, even if the government owned the property, you try taking something from it openly, and see what happens.

I don't understand your sense of entitlement, or the people who modded you up.
