Do they drive electric cars, and use more electricity as a result. Electricity use is a rather misleading metric.

hotmail has been known to send a lot of spam. I hope someone takes control of hotmail domain, since microsoft is unable to police it. (Note that it has recently been brought down, by someone should have taken control of their domain when it was a serious problem).

The point is a free service being abused is expected. It is not as if noip encouraged abuse and were paid by abusers.

There will more consequences that you state here. Drive during peak hour traffic, you get a higher premium than the ones that leave early or dont drive in peak hour. Drive early morning, late night, higher premiums for you. "The device tracks your mileage, time of day drive, and number of hard brakes" - progressive snapshot.

Soon, the device will have gps which will give you a "higher discount". Drive through or around risker parts of the town, higher premiums for you.

The net effect is insurance companies dont even out risks, but just cherry pick the juicy customers, that are pretty much risk free. The rest either pay a very high insurance or go uninsured. Picking out juicy customers is not what insurance is supposed to be.

Victors and the rulers still get to keep making and writing history. Peasants, dont.

You know what can fund them? Launching satellites for other countries, commercially, can. :)

GnuDIP (and BIND) is okay too.

They dont have re-transmission rights. It costs extra obviously.

If they have the authority to detain you if you not divulge your password, for all practical purposes they can make you reveal your password. People that are motivated enough about their privacy and data, that they are willing to be detained is exceptionally rare.

By the same definition, all a court can do is hold you on contempt of court, if you refuse to divulge your password, you dont have to give the court your password too. Admittedly the court can hold you much longer than ICE and CBP, but it is just becomes a degree of pressure. They both are effective enough for pretty much everyone.

Do read https://www.eff.org/wp/defendi... . ICE and CBP do have the authority to detain you or refuse entry into the country (for non-US citizens), or detain your devices (the last one happens often), if you refuse to give them the password.

The TSA can never force you to give them your password (or copy data from your phone for the matter). CBP (Customs and Border Protection) always could and still can. Know your acronyms and rights folks, it can be very useful.

It obviously doesnt cover lying by law enforcement. But that is already a crime.

Yup, they do not accept Euros either. They convert your Euros into US dollars, which they accept.

Nothing in the article says they stored these numbers. Target had their card readers compromised. It could be the same case here.

Nope, average american produces more CO2 than an average chinese person, but nope, an average american doesnt pollute more than average chinese person. SO2, NO2, soot (carbon particles) and other particulate matter are much more serious.

Also averages are misleading. An average artic (or antarctic) resident would populute more, than an american, it doesnt mean they dont get to complain about american pollution or chinese pollution.
