OMFSM! HOW DID YOU GET THAT KEY!?!?

Honestly, and speaking as a New Yorker, I think the public wants the mayor to go fuck off. So, would Hizzoner please resign and move to Boston?

tl;dr: Joke chart from about 7 years ago.

Herp derp, old jokes R teh fun when yous peat dem 4 six yrs.

False equivalence, murder and mass murder are not equal to a website service disruption. Next argument.

Lawsuit, Step 1, injunction to stop ongoing infringement. Site is now down by court order, restore process now involves court schedule. Next argument.

A very good point. I suggest we ask GoDaddy why they did that. Next argument.

Because he was right and his actions were, while a little harsh, justified and correct. GoDaddy was the group that overreacted. Next argument.

Your sexual preferences are not relevant to this discussion.

How about :

Some nobody wrote a really useful GPL program and a software company put it in their premier program without distributing source.

We do, as soon as he abuses the system you be sure to let us know.

Use is not abuse. It was a little strong, but it's not out of line. If he started mass sending DMCA notices without checking to see if it was his image, that is abuse. If he used DMCA notices to shut down a site for the sole purpose of shutting down a site, that is abuse. He filed a notice using the tools given to him, GoDaddy are the ones that overreact to DMCA notices.

Would you rather he went straight to a copyright infringement lawsuit? He could have done that. Then the first notice she would have gotten was, 'hi, I'm suing you for using my pictures commercially, see you in court'.

The NYSenate are mostly first rate Republican morons.
The NY House are mostly first rate Democratic morons.

Some, however, consist of second or even third rate morons, and the level of moronity varies wildly depending on the amount of grandstanding the moron needs to complete to achieve the next level.

For example,

As you can see, Felix Ortiz needed to graduate to Grand Moron Extraordinaire, and did so with flying colors.

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/01/25/ny-sen-wants-ban-on-chatting-while-crossing-street/
In this example, Senator Karl Kruger, also earned the title of Grand Moron Extraordinaire.

In conclusion, these people are fucking morons, they're elected because they know how to be popular, not because they have a clue.

Are you related to Bobby Tables?

I'm not completely familiar with Microsoft's password recovery practices, but if recovery is something like 'enter your mom's name' then your password is as strong as your mom's name.

It just takes an extra step.

Because Microsoft took the time to design and develop desktop software that runs on server class architecture. Because they took the time to test the features. Because they took the time to support those features. Do you think designing and adding a second CPU is something that just gets slapped in without any extra work?

You essentially have a professional class workstation, you're going to spend more because it takes more to work with your hardware.

It didn't develop itself.

Just because the feature is in there doesn't mean it didn't cost them time and money to develop and test it.

I don't recommend breathing that in either.

Does someone wake up and say "I was thinking this morning, how could I smell more like a manufacturing center?"

Seriously, I don't recommend breathing that stuff in.

How many people have a dual socket system at home and are not considered a computer professional?

Suck it up and deduct the expense from your business taxes.

My Smartphone, my personal account, everything encrypted.

Don't give out the work address to anyone outside work.
