Looks like a normal comment to me, what makes you think otherwise? It has pretty much no hallmarks of being generated, and plenty that point towards the opposite.

Starting the comment pointing out the name of the user you're replying to, and quoting the exact comment you're replying to, does sound really strange.

Naive question: what prevents Apple from pushing a malicious software update that automatically disables ADP to UK users?

Does a single university with a good reputation graduate 5,000 new CS majors per year? Or is that number just for the sake of example?
