Wu reminds me a bit of Irma Prunesquallor from the Gormenghast books.

You're suggesting Wu is actually quitting?

Seriously though, I think the more likely explanation is just that Wu's fat(ter) from sitting around doing nothing (I'm sorry, Wu calls that "campaigning") and using political contributions to pay for fast food.

He will use this campaign for all its worth,after people stop caring about his congress run then he will drop it without any worries, next step surely is going to be he creating Trans lifeline 2.0

He has such an obvious complex about being known as trans though, you really think he'll throw away the ability to speak as a 100% True and Honest Women on the issues of today? He'd have to if he wanted to run his own lifeline.

I still think John is going to go the "journalist" route to try and become a pundit or Frank is finally going to demand he get a real job. Then we get to enjoy the saga of Wu job hunting.

Journalist Wu is a pretty safe bet considering a lot of failed politicians become pundits i.e Mike Huckabee.
 
With how much she shoots herself in the foot on a daily basis she's gonna end up as a disembodied head by the end of her failed campaign.
 
:cryblood:That stain on the blue dress though. :cryblood:
As others were saying, it initially brought images of Monica Lewinski to my mind but look in the picture of her and the two guys, and see how her mouth slants diagonally down to the viewer's left. I think she probably drooled on herself. We have all noticed in the past her strange facial ticks, and the signature Brianna Snarl, and now I am thinking that this might be symptomatic of some slight facial paralysis. I'm just spit-balling here, but it does not seem unlikely especially considering all of the surgeries she has had.

Congress did nothing to help the NHS. Yup. Sounds right.

Hospitals got "held hostage" because they hadn't updated their operating systems to a security patch that Microsoft released in March, months before the vulnerability even became an issue. I don't see how lawmakers are remotely responsible for any of this, but then I'm not a TRUE AND HONEST software engineer like Brianna Wu.

Oh it's way better than that! Some of them were still running their systems with Windows XP. Another niggling detail the Software Engineer Supreme managed to overlook.

Microsoft ended up releasing a patch for it even though support ended 3 years ago.

They had extended support for XP available to organizations where XP was entrenched. It cost money of course.
The NHS allegedly stopped paying for that support a couple of years ago.

Still running XP in something like a large hospital setting I can understand, some programs might not work on later versions and the version that's currently working could be hacked together from something much older, or things needs to be tested and recertified.

Even then, if ransomware can put them on their knees there's something fucked with how they run their network.

I'm not sure what you mean there. The main reason the United States gives massive military support to Saudi Arabia is because they're their second biggest source of foreign oil after Canada, and it's therefore important to keep a compliant government in place there. Wu is an exceptional individual, but the United States ceasing to be dependent on foreign oil would change geopolitics, possibly drastically.

Sorry I was being a bit glib with that post. I understand why the US puts so much money into the Middle East, I was more pointing out Wu's over-simplification of absolutely everything including even US foreign policy down to 'If I do this, this will happen'. In this instance it was the idea that putting solar panels on every building in District 8 would lead to the US leaving the middle-east alone.

The politics of the middle-east and US involvement there is so complex, and there are so many competing factors and interests regarding energy (the oil & gas industry isn't just going to roll over) that solar panels in Boston = peace in the middle east just shows total ignorance and is yet another example of her know-it-all hubris.

I understand the thought process she's getting at, as like you said a self-reliant US would lead to a huge change in geopolitics, but oil isn't the only reason America is so involved in the area, albeit a huge one.
 
John/Brianna is such a fucking asshole to people when they disagree with his opinions (which are always trash).

Most of his anger in the video game area are due to jealousy and stupidity. His studio is dead and his only game was a major flop. Whenever anyone else has success he's extremely jealous and attempts to tear them down unless he can find an angle to self promote.

Edit: I'm not buying a switch but John's comments on the joycons being terrible are kind of funny considering they are very small and he has freakish man hands because he's a tranny. What to give it away John!

This is trivial shit.

If you're "entrenched" with XP because of some bullshit government reason like your dumb legacy apps can literally only run in it (this was criminal negligence in the first place), you run it in a virtual machine and only give that machine the data it needs to do whatever it's doing.

Oh, and unless for some absolutely critical reason you have to, it should be completely blind to the existence of a network. Not just randomly connecting to shit like XP machines tend to do.

Then even if it does get infected by some random malware, all it has is the minimum amount of information.

Even then, you are obviously still vulnerable to malware specifically targeted at your operation and good luck if it's also virtualization-aware or, even worse, aware of your specific virtualization strategy and programmed to break out of the sandbox and attack the rest of your shit.

But this current shit is amateur hour. Okay, I'm well over the word limit for off-topic sperging.
