I've just scanned the CSV version - they all seem to be US users as well, either that or Snapchat has useless geographical data.

I tried that - then discovered that MS Exchange* will NOT do ActiveSync properly to some devices unless the cert is proper trusted one.
Bloody annoying.
If the world wants https-everywhere, then a) free trusted signed certs must be available for everyone (like StartSSL offers, but with wildcard certs as well), and b) the ability to attach different certs to virtual hosts on the SAME ip must be enabled (IIS on Windows can't do this - can Apache/non-MS-Webservers do it?)
(*And no, I wont swap to a Linux/SendMail/Whatever solution, as I'm a professional MS consultant, so have to eat my own dog food)

You're changing your MAC address? wut? and why?
Because that's a good way to 'force' your ISP to re-allocate you a new IP immediately. Not that I agree with the practice as it's clearly not working in this case.

IIRC, the baddie starship in 'Into Darkness' *IS* a 'Dreadnought' class - so you may be right about that connection.

...code compatible with the most incompatible OS currently available
Also the most widely used on the desktop, which makes your argument invalid.
Unlike Linux, Windows enjoys (typically) a compile once, run anywhere model. Hence the desire from Windows users to obtain pre-compiled binaries - why should I waste time compiling source into the same binary that countless other Windows users have already got?
I want to enjoy using my platform of choice, not waste endless hours watching packages download, and compilers run.

Why is all the good stuff already modded 5, when I have mod points?
This. Pretty much why I don't use my Mod points when I get them any more. I'm a daily

Your idea kinda works....
But:
1. What if the block filter is also blocking the IP address?
2. What if the block filter is scanning the HTTP 1.1 request header that will contain the line 'host: <blocked-domain>' ?
for your concept, I believe it's quite simple to configure a linux distro to be a DHCP server for your network that also does DNS and performs it's own querying of the DNS root servers, so your concept is totally doable technically, i'm just not sure how it well it would work in reality...

Dude...
I just read this:

Wow.
I won't say I'm sorry, as I don't know you, but thanks for sharing; There's so much shit on the Internet not worth reading these days, it's nice sometimes to find something so real and emotive.

Really? - Something goes on with BES and the RIM service - coz when theres a RIM outage, BES based BBs can't get mail.
So the issue is with POP3, and not ActiveSync? Ahhh, that makes more sense then.
I've read all the comments on this thread (at time of posting) and this is the FIRST commenter that actually understands what the problem actually is.
For BB10 devices:
[BB10] <---> [Your-Exchange-Server-via-ActiveSync]
For nonBB10 devices with BES or BIS:
[BBxx] <---> [RIMs Email Proxies] <---> [Your Email Provider]
So, yes, if BB10s are sending email creds to RIM, then that's huge fuckup.
My guess is, someone forgot to comment out that lump of code when they switched to ActiveSync support.

You sir, made me spew my morning tea. Well done
I'm pretty sure, that outside of the US, Joe Public doesn't even know WWVB exists, which is a shame as a single standard global time signal (back in the day) would have been kinda cool.
Here in the UK we have something similar (even runs on the same frequency):

It's referred to as the 'Rugby clock'.

You have no idea what you are talking about.
Technet has not been about the help pages for years - Technet was about providing legal software with keys for evaluation for as long as you kept your Technet sub going.
As other posters have said, 90-180 days is not enough to learn/evaluate platforms. I for one would not have learnt anything useful for Exchange 2010 if I had it running in sandbox lab with no real email flowing through it - I use it as my home email server, for 5 accounts. I migrated my previous Exchange 2003 installation into it, an arduous task that took weeks to complete correctly and I learnt SO much in the process - that's not something a dry lab environment could have provided. (and for those that say I'm falling foul of the T&Cs, I'm not - I don't class my home environment as a 'Production system'.)
Losing Technet for me is a big loss - my alternatives are MSDN (too expensive for non-contractor who likes to dabble/upskill), or the MS Partner programme (also fairly expensive and maybe not available to individuals). I might just say f*ck it, and migrate over to non MS software over the next few years, turning my back on 20+ years as an MS whore.
I think MS have lost the plot recently, and seem to be doing their best to alienate all their current userbase and developerbase.

I can third this.
My MAIN Machine (I use many, but the one that I sit in front of most), is a P4 3Ghz running XP SP3.
I code in
It does me. Every time it gets a bit slow I'll whine for a bit about getting an i5 or whatever, and then I just defrag the thing, and carry on...
I think support or no support, XP isn't going anywhere yet for a LOT of non-power users.
With your bare hands?!?
