Half of the last season has been on Netflix for well over a month.
Not that the idea of a lawsuit against Microsoft is likely, but I think the OP is referring to the source of the attack - not the target. The point is that many DDOS attacks are created by zombie computers, many of which run Microsoft operating systems.
It's even funnier that you were upset by someone mentioning a dumb Texan and then proceed to list Texas as the third largest state. (Hint: It's the second largest state.)
As a reader of Slashdot, you should probably learn that the difference between opt-in and opt-out is more than just semantics.

Professor Wernstrom: What plan? I'm set for life. Au revoir, suckers!
Leela: That rat! Do something!
Mayor Poopenmayer: I wish I could, but he's got tenure.
So LOOOL (Laugh Out Out Out Loud) is as funnier than LOL (Laugh Out Loud)? While the attempt at an algorithm to discover funny videos is interesting, I hope they are keeping in mind how low the bar is when studying YouTube comments.
So the Blue Screen of Death could really mean death...
Don't go to "college". Come to our "fellowship" and take "classes" where we will mentor you and teach you things. That doesn't sound like a university at all...
The main difference is that they will probably dedicate more time an money for these students which will somehow prove it is better not to go to college... and they'd be right. It is probably better to get taken under the wing of a billionaire and get a free education than go to college.
