But it still isn't MSN who did it. The key part of the problem is entirely glossed over in the article.

Do people forget that games used to require you to have the CD-ROM in the drive before they would run?
They weren't always like that though. Don't forget piracy didn't start with the video game industry. It only started once it took off. CDs came later.

Edit to add: a game 20 years ago will only run because Windows says it's ok. If it's a linux-based game from 20 years ago, then it depends on a lot of other stuff. It's not Steam that keeps them running. Steam just provides you a copy for the most part. GOG exists and doesn't have the DRM that Steam allows. Does it have the same library? No. But we shouldn't support DRM to begin with, so if it's not on GOG, than I don't trust the game itself.
Will probably be enforced via licensing. Maybe even self reported. Probably has a clause giving them permission to perform audits of your sales.
I mean, the US troops do provide a lot of aid around the world. They do more than fight. You can argue an imbalance, sure. And it's also clear they can bring some measure of stability with their presence as we've seen what can happen the moment they're removed.
Isn't this just implying you're paycheck is just you billing yourself? The one portal leads to the other.
If you hard code their services into your product, sure. But you should be abstracting away from that. Then it's just writing new plugins instead of redesigning everything.
I mean, MSN is just a portal and I doubt there's much behind it besides what domains are popular. MSN "published" this the same way Google News published articles. It sounds better to say Microsoft did it, but it's from some news site called Race Track and it was simply scraped by MSN.
It likely ranges. A lot of time the counterfeit is good cheese, it's just not from the correct region. It's not like buying a "Soony Walkman" or something. And if you can't tell it's counterfeit by how it tastes after the fact, then who is this program protecting?
Did he actually say this?
I think you're missing the point. It's that they built it to begin with. And it's not always enclosed. Stadiums exist all over that aren't air conditioned and don't close. It's the level of effort to overcome the heat. Yet we still can't air condition damn Amazon warehouses or UPS trucks. Both of those have had folks pass out from heat.
Nah. It's because they want to sell data. It's super easy to comply unless you collect data from visitors. And you literally just have to say "if you click no, then we won't collect data". Some sites go out of their way to actually force you to opt out of every single cookie.
It's clear you're both using different meanings of "intelligence." Granted I don't think there is consensus on its meaning, but from context they clearly regard "intelligence" as just memorized facts and wisdom as the application of it, which they aren't honestly far off. The amount of data is there, it's the understanding of the data that isn't there.
