As a US citizen, I also have noticed excessive zeroes when using the metric system. I think it may be that when we were taught math in school, one of the first things we learned, because of our use of the imperial measurement system, was FINDING THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR. I think Metric-using countries may have missed that lesson.
IT workers are younger? Yeah, but how long do you think that will last? Personal Computers have been around a long time now (since the 80's). A 20-something who got into the field at that time would be in his 50's now.
This is more of an individual asking a yes/no question than a publication asking an inflammatory question just to get clicks.
Also, Yes, you can spoof an IP, which means that you can make packets that you send look like they came from another IP address than they actually did. This may be fine for the one-off UDP packet or such, but email is sent using SMTP, which requires a TCP connection. If your return IP address is spoofed, the 3-way handshake cannot be completed, and therefore, the TCP connection will never be made. If the TCP connection is never completed, then certainly the SMTP email will never be sent.
While the poster's list may contain IPs that were spoofed, none of the spoofed IPs actually SENT any email.
I have used a Palm Tungsten for several years and I can tell you that even that stylus wasn't engineered all that well. More than once, the stylus fell out of its slot, and was lost. There was a little notch on the end where a spring clip held it in place, but that wasn't always enough to keep it there. This opened up a market for replacement stylii.
The engineering fault of Samsung wasn't that they didn't anticipate the reversal of the stylus. Their fault was that they *REQUIRED* a stylus. There are hundreds of phones that just use your finger, and they work well. The Palm had a resistive touch screen, so if you lost the stylus, in a pinch, you could use a fingernail, pen cap, toothpick, or almost anything else with a point.
Perhaps this new google router will be sold to users of Google fiber who do not currently have a router. That is reasonable. Google is already getting all your traffic, so why not optimize it?
Funny. The only time you actually *WANT* Microsoft to receive your data is from crash reports, and then they don't actually do anything about the crash.
It just shows that Oracle is really more bark than bite. They *WARN* the researchers that they may take legal action.... but they never do. It's probably just as well anyway. Oracle probably has more lawyers than engineers now.
Believe it or not, I actually READ the Windows 10 License Agreement. It's a lot easier to read than previous versions. Anyway, it alluded to some sort of requirement that the machine be "owned" by only one user, and that user MUST login at least every 90 days. I'm not sure why they would include that, but if you were unable to connect to microsoft by blocking the above domains, it might think that you have not logged in. Who knows what it would do, but blocking the above domains may affect the OS negatively.
Firefox, Chrome, and even the new Microsoft Edge have built-in PDF viewers. Perhaps it's because EVERYONE thinks that they can build a better PDF reader than Adobe.
Every computer I've used forever has a BIOS setting that tells the computer to always turn on the numlock key at bootup. Windows 10 ignores this and every time you boot you have to remember to manually turn on the numlock. If you use the number pad a lot (I do) it's extremely annoying. There's a registry setting that fixes this, but Jeez, how do you fuck up something that has worked forever.
Windows has done this at least since Windows 2000. Yes, it's annoying. I imagine it's because Windows can't actually read the actual state of the numlock, but can only detect if it's toggled. Rather than risk being 100% wrong about the state of the numlock, they decided to set it to a known value first.
So I wiped the hard drive and restored Windows 7 from a backup (Acronis True Image is your friend).
That's too bad. If you had installed Windows 10 by performing an in-place upgrade, you would have the opportunity to restore your previous OS for 30 days. When you *do* restore, it asks you why you are going back to the older version of windows, and sends this information to Microsoft. I told them it was because advanced functionality was too hard to discover. Since you slammed a true image back onto your PC, Microsoft will never know why you don't like Windows 10.

There should be a poll of all the men registered on the site, and ask them if any of them were "entertained" by the breach.
I used to work in a building that had a thermostat that did nothing. Believe me, the complaints continued.
Cars can easily kill pedestrians and drivers. Cell phones, not so much.

Bad command or filename.
$250 to look like an idiot? Put a nylon stocking over your head for the same effect.

I think if more obese people would just get up off the couch and go for a walk, they would be less obese.
I would much rather have Google Now on my Windows 10 desktop instead of Cortana.
