If by "you will have to dedicate hours to figure out which tag/data in a 200kB XML request that was the culprit...", you mean "reject the data from the source," then yes, I completely agree.
My voicemail instructions include the note "press one to leave a message" and then plays music, which requires the caller to learn their way out of this trap.

Alan, he got that idea from me.
We don't do regressions. If user space depended on old behavior, we don't change behavior....

I see a need for a standardized protocol over Wi-Fi that allows clients to exchange billing and authentication information.
One implementation could be an open wifi that is sandboxed and can only access the wifiaccess.info domain which the router will serve, and net access is attained with PPPoE.
This would allow standardized billing and access control, and individual Wi-Fi operators (you and me) could monetize their access and handle (weak) blacklisting. Also, all of these ATT, Tmobile, Starbucks pay-for-wifi APs could share hardware.

The patent office currently is not funded, it is a revenue-generating operation.
They made this abundantly clear when they were recruiting at my college.

Well, you could start by reading your logs and seeing which articles they copied / when.

Call Amazon and give them the opportunity to come pick up your defective product for full refund. If they don't pick up, keep the device.
Then call VISA, and chargeback "product not as described."
This is the solution.

Executable files releases are one-to-many. Front loading computation overhead is useful.
Rsync transfers are (normally) one-to-one.

How is this illegal?
I disagree.
The problem of reducing network load for large volumes of data in a one-to-many delivery is solved by CDN solutions providers such as Akamai.
The problem of reducing cost or decentralizing distribution points (related to the low cost) is solved by P2P.
How is this any different than a standard movie spoiler?
Solution:
Put the images under a show/hide section with an alert about the spoiler effect.
Except... that they'll never sue you.
