But who's prepared to pay more (even just in terms of ad impressions) just so they can see their cat pictures? No-one's arguing that security isn't essential for your bank or whatever, but all this "free" shit actually costs money to deliver, and encryption would make it cost more.

It is if you have constraints on server resources. Encryption costs CPU time, and it requires even more if you use forward security as people tend to since the Snowden revelations. If you're serving lots of public assets (think 4chan image CDN), requiring encryption would greatly increase the CPU resources you need.

Not really, it has a number of modifications, including dropping mandatory encryption.

You only need physical access to the Commbox from to a single car to extract encryption keys that can be used to steal many cars. That's the flaw. The cellular base station emulators are readily available.

The set of characters available still depends heavily on the language settings of the OS.

I'd learned to hate MS Outlook after having to use it at four jobs in a row. Then my next employer didn't want to pay for Outlook, so we all had to use Thunderbird. I learned to miss how much less shit Outlook had been. It's like there's a competition to make the worst email client.

That's called a "bum bag" in other countries.

The only DVD I have that uses it is Cirque du Soleil's Dralion. On a few of the scenes you can switch between three crops. You're not even choosing different angles as such, just how "zoomed in" the view is.

Fuck no! You should never alias in -i like that, because you'll learn to depend on it and then fuck yourself over when your in a shell without those aliases. Those aliases are downright dangerous.

The 'no special characters' restriction could be to protect you from getting locked out if you need to log in from a machine where you can't type some of the characters. For example the set of characters you can type on a German keyboard is different to a US keyboard.

In the UK "fanny" is an obscene term for a woman's genitals, so given the context you're using the wrong term and making yourself look stupid. That aside, do you have as much of a problem with heterosexual arse piracy, or is it only gays that you hate? What about pegging? Are you sure you're not in the closet?

Kyocera is making the screens themselves. They're primarily a materials company: the "cera" in their name comes from "ceramics". I have some Kyocera cookware, the cooking surfaces are really good.

AVM FritzBox is the only quality hardware I've seen in this space.

Now the puzzle box in that movie had a name, didn't it... that's right, the Lament Configuration. Oh look! It's a survey option!

Nah, more likely an increase in retirement rate amongst COBOL programmers, requiring fresh blood to maintain the ageing applications.
