Does this mean I can only say "NO", and not use stronger language?
%$&#, but that'll be hard.

Using stronger language may be satisfying, but it will be wasted on Microsoft. Install Linux, and if it's really necessary, keep a VM for Windows 7.

The infamous “trolley problem” was put to millions of people in a global study, revealing how much ethics diverge across cultures. How about 'explode the vehicle, killing the AI'?

Where's the option to kill both? Doesn't that give bonus points?

The classic driving dilemma. Whether to kill a baby or a grandma. How many times we saw that old cliche?

Microsoft says PC players will be able to access a version of its all-you-can-download Xbox Game Pass subscription service some time in the future. I don't understand - I already play FreeCell as much as I can

The painting, called Portrait of Edmond Belamy, was created by a Paris-based art collective called Obvious. I might start selling my meeting doodles (but I'll say they're by an AI so I can get some of those big bucks)

The .NET team at Microsoft and the LTTng community worked together to bring .NET application performance analysis to Linux. Maybe someone can port those to Windows now?

How about bringing .Net compilation to Linux that generates binaries that don't require mono to be executed?

Microsoft's shift from the traditional 16-year-old .NET Framework to modernized "Core" implementations is picking up in pace. Because you really wanted to rewrite anyway, right?

In an effort to steer conversations in a kinder direction, Richard Stallman, president of the Free Software Foundation and founder of the GNU project, has announced the GNU Kind Communication Guidelines. GNU's not unwelcoming?

I knew it had to contain some gender neutral drivel in the first tenets. I also wish to be addressed as "they", and since I would become a multiple entity I demand honoring of such with multiple individual paychecks at the end of the month.

Article Quote: "The way we do this, rather than ordering people to be kind or else, is try to help people learn to make their communication more kind," Stallman explained.
The StackExchange/StackOverflow sites have decided to ignore these recommendations, because SE management has decided they are a honeypot for angry trolls.

SO's Angry Trolls are you'd have to admit, often more adept at logical thought than those that are typically the source of their ire.
While the troll may examine the circumstances of the opponent and or situation in which they face off, in order to come up with a stinging remark or backhander, the 'can haz codez plz' forum user usually doesn't even bother to google their question title.
Give me a seat amongst the trolls please, any old day. The others can all hold hands and cry together about how the smart man used some mean words, often in a bid to express frustration and impart knowledge upon the hapless young fool.
The trolls can laugh at one another, but the blind can teach one another little of concern.
The inability to brutalize QA abusers has turned that part of this site into a waste of my time. I'm absolutely against being nice to those that initiate a conversation by refusing to be polite and acknowledge the conventions of the place they're in.
Stackoverflow was never designed to be nice, or for hanging out. It's designed to be about as fun as a dictionary. People that fail to acquaint themselves with its customs before hitting the question-box invariably deserve all the love they get. It's autism-central, not a bloody nightclub.

Italian investigation found software updates ‘significantly reduced performance’, hastening new purchases "Slow down, you move too fast"

What nonsense. I don't know of anyone who has ever bought a new phone because their old one was too slow.

Odd... I do know people that bought a new phone, just because there was a new shinier one.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
