Grow up little nerdy boy. Infecting people's machines is so passé, so why not
do something productive like invade North Korea.

I like the way his translator program or web-site has given "prove" for
"test". *So* cute. You could just snuggle him up, before wringing his
scrawny neck.

It's not wrong though.

Not in that context, when 'test' and 'try' are available. That's the
problem with direct translations: They go for the most common parallel, so
the word that translated to 'prove' must be used as we would use 'prove'
more than as we use 'test'.

Yes, even in that context, although it's not exactly common usage. As in:
"The exception proves the rule", the meaning of which is completely
misundersood by many.

Also as in "proving ground"

From Oxford English Dictionary:

Prove:

1b: To subject to a testing process (any natural, prepared, or manufactured
substance or object)

It's a little archaic, but not exactly wrong usage.
