/me pretends to be one of those closet-conservative pseudoextropians...
Hey! Xupiter is just a company trying to make a living in the free market. If
you whining commies don't like it, you can just go to some other website...
or install some better security software... or not browse the web at
all. Browsing the web is a *privilege* that corporations extend to you, out
of the goodness of their hearts. They created the web all by themselves, and
they didn't have to let you play on it. What's do you do in response? Why, you
probably want some liberal luddite government bureaucrat to censor them. Well,
tough luck, it's a free country. Nobody here deserves to get censored unless
they're sympathetic to Saddam Hussein.
Anyway, most of you are using Windows, and that operating system doesn't even
belong to you anyway-- it belongs to Microsoft. It's just a *service* they
conditionally *provide* to you. If Xupiter interferes with that service, let
them fight it out with Xupiter. Your job as a patriotic loyal American is to
bend over and take whatever anybody more powerful than you feels like shoving
up your orifice/s.
/me stops pretending to be a conservadroid.
