That is kind of silly, this kill switch seems to be for malware. So why not instead of encrypting your stuff couldn't it just delete everything? Or do a large variety of other things... What you are basically saying is this:

Oh no if MS remotely deletes viruses it finds on my computer and the virus first encrypted everything then I could never get it back!

.... I really doubt that is the issue.

I'd spend my money to go to outer space, and solve poverty and hunger in a small poor community. I'll also fund a company that will ensure support and development of a BSD variant, similar to what's being done with Ubuntu. Oh well, it's free to dream.

You should always have the right to contest it. There are odd circumstance where you should get the benefit of the doubt. However if you're taking the piss (moronic cunt hit me once doing minus 50 in a 35 zone ...) they should double the penalty if you waste the court's time with a frivolous appeal.

Done finished raising my young 'un, now have to put up with the job (or lack thereof) that other people have done with theirs. Yeah "We" you think you're in this alone there Tonto! "Takes a village to raise a child", isn't just a platitude!
