That isn't the issue. The issue is YOU being able to share MY WiFi key because I was dumb enough to let a Windows 10 user on my WiFi network. This is akin to me giving you the keys to my house so you can housesit, and you getting a hundred copies cut and distributing them to a bunch of people you know.

Thank you for being a friend,
And sharing WiFi passwords there and back again.
You're giving me the WiFi key of your favorite restaurant.

And if they came to your dorm,
Invited everyone you knew,
You would see the ugly guy at the back downloading kiddie porn,
And the FBI would raid you singing "Thank you for filling our jail!"

Inflammatory Mode On: Why in the fuck would even want to opt-in to such a service? If it's private WiFi, it's likely to be at my home or my workplace, and in either case I absolutely do not ever want to share that over fucking Fuckbook, Twatter or whatever stupid lame-ass soshial neshworking crap site becomes the next biggest and greatest.

Rational Mode On: Now let's imagine that my organization has a private WiFi hotspot available for employees and a few others. I do not ever want to have those keys shared outside that group, nor should I have to change MY network with an "_optout" on the end of an SSID. I would consider that a breach of security. Sure, I'll probably be able to disable Windows devices that are domain members via GPO, but if they're not actually devices belonging to the organization, or "Pro" versions of Windows where it even knows what the hell Active Directory is, then MY network is being compromised by this service.

This is just a plain bad idea, whether you're being reasonable or inflammatory.

And the F-16, according to the pilots from many nations, is an outstanding aircraft. The F-22? I'm not an expert, but the new reports about that craft were similarly negative to those about the F-35. It's also being theoretically replaced by the "cheaper" F-35, and that's a sad claim given the cost of F-35's. And with no one else permitted to import them, the last was delivered to the US Air Force in 2012.

This also belies the idea stated by another poster, that these "teething problems" are inevitable and can be worked out over time. The F-22 was cancelled for cost and safety reasons. As best I can tell from the reports, they never did completely resolve the oxygen supply problem that kept knocking out pilots and even killed Captain Jeffrey Haney.
