How do you propose it gets around blackouts? If it did you would have the entire epicenter relying on fringe cell phones for service. It's like having an entire town piggy backing on a handful connections. Those who are in range will have their batteries toasted before you could say YouTube.

This is just a fluff piece. Lying would be so ingrained into an agent of this type that their own mothers probably don't know their names anymore. If someone asks you your name for something like this you just make up a name, that is their job. If anyone asks just say your name is Lorem Ipsum.

Don't forget, if they are looking to obtain the contents of a single device that means they already have enough on that particular person to look into what you are doing. It's not like they found a person actively engaging in a crime and say "well we can't access his email or his smartphone we mine as well give up".

The point I was trying to make is since with web content both the content and advertising are on the same page at the same time they both have the same primary goal, catch your attention. The ads can distract the reader from the content making your content less effective. It's a trade off. But a co the creator should be wary of the ways the advertisers are interacting with their users.

It's not just the visual representation that the ad companies are after. It is their job to distract you from the info/content you are reading. So while the site might make a couple more dollars with ads they lose interest in their content or their messages are not being absorbed they way the content creator had intended.

On top of all of this many scripts on the page from ad companies are not only tracking the ad but sitting on every event loop. Now when you scroll change focus or many other actions your browser will have to deal with that as well again distracting from the content.

In the end the content creator is losing their power of conveying their message in relation to distraction ad revenue.

Until the birds come along and eat the potato.

Because they accepted the transaction ?

You just need *more* internet!

Apparently the law says you cannot be billed more than a certain amount for going over your data for the month (I believe the overage amount is $50). So once you meet this threshold the tel-cos just nuke your access and send you a SMS asking you to waive your rights granted by said law. Not sure if this tactic is ongoing or just a month by month waiver but it's just another hollow law that had the loophole built in.

Basically business as usual.

"Consume less than you burn" please do the math. This could win you a Nobel.

Just because currently 3% of people pay money for this particular gaming template doesn't mean none of the remaining 97% will never pay for anything. You are looking for a plate at a table that is getting smaller, quicker. The games that have attracted the payments of those 3% have been basically created, soliciting the remainder is the latest and greatest.

Mistake on my math that would have been 2.5 / second, the real number would be:

40,000 x (60x24x2.5) = 144,000,000 rows per day (still quite a bit).

According to Google Play Store this app has about 40K installs. We are saying that 40K x (60x60x24) x 2.5 = 8,640,000,000 rows added per day is something that not even the DBA noticed?

That's a bit of a stretch.

From the mailing list:

The firmware can be built with what we have provided, and will run on

So basically they are saying since the firmware they are providing will compile (even though it doesn't contain any wireless support) is still a firmware so they are technically holding up on their end of the bargain. This is just really obtuse.

So nerd or not there is no amount of compiling that will actually make this WIFI router actually connect any WIFI devices.
