Conservative firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos received big-name support on Wednesday for reversing his lifetime Twitter ban: Minecraft creator Markus Persson.

Twitter froze Mr. Yiannopoulos' account on Tuesday after barbed exchanges with "Ghostbusters" star Leslie Jones. The Breitbart News tech editor seemingly was banned for the racist comments made by other users. Mr. Persson told his nearly 4 million followers that Twitter's actions were absurd.

"I think the guy's a bit of a [expletive], but for the love of Christ, #FreeMilo," the video game icon said Wednesday morning. "If/when I get suspended too, check http://notch.net. I've reported tweets worse than anything (well.. almost) Nero's ever said, and the reply is always the same: Nope."

    Generally I use rm to remove buggy programs. If a program isn't working right, it's my fault.

    This Yahway guy seems to have a lot in common with Lennart Poettering, and I'm not sure I understand why he needs to keep all of us going to hell executing endlessly while making us feel nothing but horrific pain and torture for all eternity.

    I think his design is crap. But what do I care. Not like I can stop him. Just work on accepting that burning in hell was the reason I was made.

    The example above given could be considered endorsement of filicide, or the killing of one's child.

    GP's thought should be given on the ethics and morality of that point of view before commenting any further.

    <sarcasm>How archaic! Nowadays you should only right-click, select "delete", confirm. Oh, wait. Then you should go to "Recycle bin" and select "Empty recycle bin". Confirm again. See? Not a single letter typed, you don't even open this complicated 'shell' thingy. Of course, of the program is running in background, you might be out of luck because the file might be locked. But there are probably solutions for that. Just check task manager, services. Go to Bing and search for the name of the service matching your binary. Try to stop the service. There you will probably also find the links to information mentioning the registry keys you might need to remove from regedit in order to ensure the computer doesn't get stuck on boot while trying to start the binary.

    Oh, Now that I think of it, maybe just do a fresh install, probably easier all things considered. But still, you don't need a shell and type cryptic commands!</sarcasm>Sorry, off topic, but couldn't resist.
