The fact that you have a MAIL SERVICE that literally eats the entire resources of a server, belches and screams for more
I -- as an end user -- don't care.
all while delivering bare functionality, for a minimal number of people is an absolute joke.
I use T-bird on my Linux desktop at home, and Outlook integrated with Exchange on my work laptop. Not only is Outlook a manifestly superior email client, the quite useful group calendar functions are infinitely better since... T-bird doesn't have group calendar functions.
About the only likely market for third party spam filtering services would be small to mid-range ISPs or organizations that want to run their E-mail in house.
You're completely ignoring every company that runs an Exchange server.
Seems like a fairly small market to me
It's a huge market.
with E-mail generally on a slow, steady decline
With such a low ID number, you can't be an idiot college student. Maybe you've just never worked for an Very Large Company.
our public servants are bulk collecting data to be sold by a private company to the highest bidder.
It's 2016. Pull your head out of your ass and stop fantasizing that any judge that can read a precedent won't say, "car owners that display licenses in full view for everyone to see have no expectation of privacy".
This is pretty much using risk analysis to raise rates
Not according to the article: "Customers would be able to see a map of 'risk zone' data for places they want to go, such as stores, restaurants and roads. They could then plan the day 'with an eye toward how risky such endeavors may be,' according to the patent application."
Jesse Jackson and his ilk are going to have a field day with this...
What's interesting to me is how stunningly higher the murder rates are than the gun-only murder rates: less than 18% of Detroit's murders were committed by a gun.
We should ban whatever they use the other 82% of the time.

I work for a very large global IT firm, and don't remember the last time that Exchange hiccuped.

Outlook is for business, because Exchange is for business.
Thunderbird is a slight, pale & buggy shadow of the Microsoft Outlook & Exchange combo. It's why Linux will never win the corporate desktop.
I'm going to "borrow" your signature.
your narrative
Stop shooting the messenger. It's the narrative of Federal Courts -- including SCOTUS.
The 25% processing fee doesn't bother you?
Sure it does. But "bothering me" doesn't rise to the level of Constitutional crime.
that fee has no basis in law
You need to read a bit closer, since the law explicitly gives debt collectors the right to charge a processing fee to get ancient, uncollected fees.
Vigilant is tacking 25% onto the fees these people already can't afford
Assuming facts not already in evidence.

The rest of us are glad that the cops are easily collecting fines that the government has already levied.
Have the distro modify the source going into the repo to remove any non-OSS friendly stuff
They already only distribute OSS extensions.
did I miss something?
I think so, since "build from source" is what Linux distros do.
Oh... it IS the case; but you made it sound like a FORK; when its really a proper release channel for developers.
Is that what Ubuntu users are called now?
Its called Chrome.
Chrome has had push notifications for quite a while.
then I must a sadistic communist
I bet you run Linux too. LOL

Whoever came up with that idea must live in a lily white neighborhood, because this is about as close to red zoning as is possible.
Hell, it is red zoning...
Why? Because too many people think that there is one, and explaining why evolution is right and ID/creationism is bunk is a Good Thing.
Blame God for putting so much of an efficient fuel source where it's easy to get to.
Then can we come to the conclusion that MediaMatters is issuing grossly misleading pseudo-statistics that actually harms their argument?

Damn those peskier facts.
It's adorable how people think that ...
satellites are somehow useful in tapping fiber optic cables.
With us US citizens being the enemy, I guess...
You guess wrong. (That's the NSA. The NRO is just satellites.)
