First paragraph of TFA says Windows Server supports BGP. But hey, I guess you don’t let facts get in the way of some anti-Windows snarky shitposting.

>2008 happened because clearly the banks do have that incentive. The only thing that stops them are the regulations.

It’s truly absurd to argue that banks have no incentive to limit lending to make sure they get paid back. The 2008 crisis proves no such thing. Banks simply made a lot of bad bets.

>Now a German tech forum it's easy to identify with one country

Sounds like you’d be disrespecting Austrians, and Austrian and German diaspora all over the world by u/michpoch’s logic.

Money creation by fractional reserve banking has been Econ 101 for longer than anyone currently alive.

This pro-piracy nonsense is a point of faith for many nerds. They will twist themselves into pretzels to avoid the conclusion that piracy is costly and that enforcement of the law can be good.

Calculus doesn’t solve this. Creating a way to solve sums of infinite series does not itself prove anything about the mechanism of the physical world. Yes, obviously motion is possible. And 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 … = 1. But that doesn’t tell you how the motion can actually go through all those steps in finite time. It might very well be that the only reason the universe works is because it’s discrete, not continuous.

UAC offers almost no additional security for single user systems. You’re trying to protect your data and passwords and stuff, not the ability to install device drivers.

>I am not going to make the trojan writers job easier.

The Trojan writer now targets systems with UAC, since it’s the default and the vast majority of systems, so you’re not gaining anything. And he never needed an elevated token in the first place.

Take them outside and shoot them.

Almost all the bad things you’re worried about don’t require an elevated token. I’m much more worried about someone stealing my data, installing a trojan, etc. (none of which require elevation) than installing a device driver (which does).

This obsession with not running as root/using UAC is just cargo cult security for single user systems.
