Except for Ireland.

Then perhaps you should seek help.

That's an x86 thing, though.

Flour, presumably.

Pray tell, what does it say about me?

That would have been a very fair point but to me, the tone definitely comes off as "how dare these annoying waiters try to sell me coffee so that the shop doesn't lose money from me occupying a seat" and "how dare teenagers enjoy their time in a coffee shop, don't they know I have work to do?"

> So what to do? Go to nearest coffee shop. You’re lucky if they don’t play tasteless trendy music. You’re lucky if a waiter doesn’t keep asking if you need anything, isn’t intrusive, and doesn’t subtly let you know when it’s time to leave by checking on you constantly . You’re lucky if no teenagers talking loudly about their-whatever-teens-talk-about-these-days. Oh, by the way, pay a lot of money to be here and to drink a nice cup of burnt coffe.

Astonishingly entitled. The point of a coffee shop isn't to provide you with a nice space to work but to sell coffee.

(I don't know enough about the CFAA to know whether this is true so I'll assume it is.)

To continue the garage door analogy, you wouldn't walk up to any random garage door and try code 12345 to help protect the owner's stuff, would you?

And why does the linked paper not qualify as such a link?

No, and that's a good thing. Just look at how quickly features are added to the living browser standards. Instead, we get a new POSIX version every couple of years that includes the special cases that actually work the same on BSDs and Linux after they're already implemented.

No, the argument is that it didn't "wipe the continent" and in fact caused far less damage than other things we're totally fine with. I don't see GP saying that they want an incident like this to repeat, just that, if it did, the consequences would be far less severe than "wiping the continent".

I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm merely pointing out that you're not disagreeing with GP either.

As a barely former teen, what awaits in those virtual spaces is both worse than the dismissal and arguably feeds the naïveté causing said dismissal.
