The only thing an ad company will fear is a company-wide execution of wipedisk to clear out all possible infections they may serve. Includes a burning of all their tapes.
Served via secure link like https may even be worse for you since some browsers and plugins relaxes their security for 'well-known' sites with a valid certificate.
To realy mess up things - have the adblocker do fake clickings on the ads. Each click cost the advertiser additional money and possibly bandwidth. Of vourse - you will need to fetch the data for the ads too then, but it will mess up the statistics pretty much.
But realize that movies are there for entertainment purposes in most cases so if someone produces a movie that is "good quality" but nobody watches it because it don't provide entertainment, then it may not be good quality after all.
I agree that IMDB is reasonably trustworthy. But I'd also go to various newspapers to see movie ratings if I'm very interested. However the comments added to a movie on IMDB is sometimes more helpful than the rating - and it's often obvious when a comment is "too good" or "too broad".
Also realize that this applies to all kinds of stuff, not only movies. And on other items the ratings can be downratings as well as upratings by paid posters to promote a certain product and demote another. This may be a frequent case when it comes to mobile phones (cell phones for you in the US) since some brands gets strange downvotes/downcomments or upvotes/upcomments that doesn't seem right.
And even then there must be evidence at hand before the justice process starts. It also depends on if DOJ have the rights to do it in the area in question.
The important thing is to have boundaries for the range of conditions where the emissions must not exceed certain values and then state that as long as the tests are performed within these boundaries they shall be done in a random manner.
Uniform tests invites to cheating and optimizations for that test. Test with randomness are harder to cheat and are more realistic.
Switching to C++ is just opening another can of worms.
C++ just have the bad stuff from C and the bad stuff from object oriented design combined.
If you want a language for an OS that is better you will need to look at ADA or some completely different language. One of the more secure operating systems out there is OpenVMS and that's written in BLISS.
So do Windows and a number of other applications and operating systems. Mostly the security issue is just a small thing but now and then a big issue appears.
Many large issues are also caused by not one single mistake but by a chain of mistakes where each mistake by itself wasn't fatal. This isn't limited to software alone but we see it from time to time in the physical world as well.
Also realize that there is use for software not focusing on emissions, like when testing vehicles in the extreme boundaries to see what breaks before customers discovers a bad piece of engineering in other parts. Not funny to have to replace bearings in gearbox every 10000 miles because it wasn't tested correctly.
Stop Smoking first, then we can talk about other stuff like soda.
Personally I would like to stop all artificially carbonated drinks. The fizziness is annoying. And if you ever have tasted a de-carbonated drink you will realize just how shitty the stuff you drink really is.

Anything else is just a reasonable risk.
For a nanosecond I'd take any voltage.
The survey was served as an ad so only people not doing adblocking participated. Talk about skewed results.

Imaginary friends don't do the job for you.

And it's a turn-off for me when there's too much focus on asses. Makes me hate the shit they try to push. Asses are usually NOT SEXY.
That's why the comments are good too.

Which means that companies using Oracle products without any contract at all runs no risk unless someone reveals their use.
And even then they can tell the Oracle guys to sod off.
Nothing stops organizations from having a skunk works area either where only a select few have access or knowledge.

Don't forget to have the app click all ads as well, each ad clicked costs the advertised money.3
I'll take gold-pressed latinum on that.
I'd pick Subversion or Git.
Mercurial isn't something that I have had any good experiences from. Seems to require quite some learning threshold.
Of course - the merging of branches - that's a source for curses in many version control systems since it's hard to make smart stuff around merges.

That would lead to a great upswing for the Zilog Z80-processor then if MSX is getting an upswing!
I was just making a travesty on the following quote by Mario Andretti:
If you need entertainment you aren't driving fast enough.
Nothing will happen until several senators from both parties have been subject to the same thing.
