The one unhackable part of your phone is the one that, if hacked, would enable you to defraud the phone company. Shows where the security priorties are, eh?
Actually, if anybody can lay claim to inheriting the Roman Empire, he's still in Rome. If you're down that way, say hello to the Pontifex Maximus for me!
The study you don't like said they didn't find fracking chemicals. The study you cite doesn't say anything about fracking chemicals. It says they found methane and propane. That's not good, but it's not the same thing. My request for refuting data still stands.
It is nearly impossible to do a study where you watch for every conceivable chemical that ever has or ever could exist.
On the contrary, mass spectrometry makes it pretty easy. You'll see everything that's in the sample. You might not be able to *identify* everything, but you'll see everything. Presumably they were able to identify everything, or they wouldn't have published this result.
Customers? The bloggers aren't customers. They don't pay anything. The bloggers are product, and Tumblr will do what they think is best to market that product.
How many times will this do this kind of thing again in the future?
When ever they want. Them what pays the bills, calls the shots.
If generic blogs were an acceptable substitute for what Tumblr does, they wouldn't have 100 million users.
A well-done generic blog is a perfectly acceptable substitute for what Tumblr. It's just that with a well-done generic blog, you have to do the work yourself, and pay a small monthly fee for a hosting service. Tumblr does all the work for you, for free. At least, until the time rolls around where you have to pay for it after all.
From there the OS contract was competitive. They were the sole supplier to the IBM offering but IBM was not alone: Atari, Apple, DEC.... all had offerings.
IBM *was* alone. They were IBM, and nobody else was. And then, that made a difference. "Nobody was ever fired for buying IBM." That's what people said, and they believed it. Putting the IBM brand on a PC is what made it acceptible to many, many businesses. (DEC? What PC was DEC selling back then? DEC was selling minis and didn't believe there was a future in PCs) And MS had the monopoly on its OS. What more, that was the *only* locked-in part of the PC! Other people could replicated IBM's hardware and sell it legally, but they had to go to MS for the OS.
You would relocate your company HQ to another country. Simple as that.
And where would that be? Keep in mind, it will need to be a country that:
* Has adequate infrastructure support (reliable electricity, good telecommunication lines, and so on).
* Has a deep pool of educated talent to recruit your support staff from.
* is a place your executives will not be unhappy to relocate to.
* since you're moving to get away from government surveillance, it can't be a place where you are going to be subjected to a US level of surveillance, or worse.
Me, I can't think of a place like that. No, not Europe. Europe has great privacy regulations--which apparently mostly don't apply to governments. Check the latest reports about what France has been doing.
Does having a front-page article shit all over itself because the non-ASCII characters that are the entire point of the article decide not to render count?
I would expect that self responsibility would have to be part of any sort of evolved survival traits.
Why? Getting someone else to do your work is in fact a proven survival strategy. The is a large population of innumerable kinds of parasites thriving out there, you know.

So would sending out people to dig ditches with spoons instead of backhoes. Shall we do that, then?

Welcome to corporate weasel speak. He can claim he hasn't censored anything. It's all still there, right?
Anyone who tells you differently is selling you something.
I'm sorry, but the court's ruling on that matter is classified.
Worst haiku I've seen in weeks.

Because they're all things in which the keyboard is just big, clumsy and useless. You get a better experience for not having it.

How long before just having Cyrillic in your domain name is enough to get you blacklisted?

If you don't want the phone to wake you up to the point that you set it so that you'll never know it rang, why not turn it OFF?
festoons: drapes over, especially in a festive or decorative fashion.
muslin: a type of fabric (cotton, I believe)
almsgiving: the act of giving money as charity, particularly in a religious context

They're NSA robots. Better not to interfere with them.
