Is your ISP blocking all other SMTP and IMAP traffic?
No, but I imagine that some ISPs no longer offer their own SMTP or IMAP server, instead relying on Yahoo or someone else like that. It started with Usenet, and now it may have spread to email.
Are you sick of millions of non-whites flooding into every white country on Earth?
And some are sick of whites flooding into Indian country. ("Indian" here refers not to India but to Mescalero Inde, meaning "the people".) Others are sick of whites flooding into Aboriginal country.
The news you'll never see on ABC (owned by Disney)
But will you see it on other TV outlets (owned by Disney's colleagues in the MPAA)? NBC is Universal, CNN is Warner Bros., CBS is Paramount (through National Amusements), and Fox is, well, Fox.
If corporations didn't make profit, they wouldn't have been created and they wouldn't continue to exist because no one would invest in them to start with.
That or there would be more not-for-profit public benefit corporations, whose earnings stay in the company's foundation. You might remember one that was created out of the BUCK FETA scandal on Slashdot: SoylentNews.
Does everyone want high property values? Unless you're in the business of flipping houses, rising property values tend to raise your rent, meaning you may have to settle for inferior food, clothing, or entertainment.
How often is that person from the third world country going to fly his family over to Disney World, pay the 100 dollars a person entrance, the hotels and meals for the time, then fly them all back home?
Probably not WDW Florida and not immediately. But after companies have started to hire skilled workers in the export sector of a particular country's economy, workers in the export sector will be earning more than the workers in non-export sectors. This means two things: the country's currency will become more valuable to international buyers of its services, and employers in non-export sectors will have to gradually raise wages to retain workers. As the rising tide of the Balassa-Samuelson effect continues to lift all boats, people in a particular region may eventually become rich enough to visit a regional Disney park.
Even McDonald's tries to make the workplace at least slightly palatable.
Thats a lie, or the free employee lunch would be sent out for.
Ever wonder why McDonald's menu has become so much more diverse than it was in the days of "Big Mac, McDLT, a Quarter Pounder with some cheese"? It's not only to bring in more business but also so that McDonald's can improve employee lunch without having to send out for it.
Disney's IT is atrociously expensive (take a look at what rolling out RFID + fingerprint scanners cost them, it was in the several billion dollar range).
It's not how much money it costs as much as how much money the company saves when CMs no longer have to key in lengthy passwords all the time.
It's called corruption. It's happened in every society before us, and will likely continue to until we get some currency-less "everyone gets everything they need" replicator-based non-economy a-la United Federation of Planets.
And even then, Disney will still figure out how to rent-seek by asserting copyright on replicator patterns. This is where the life of the author's grandchildren copyright term comes in: as health care lets people live an order of magnitude longer, Disney can make an order of magnitude more money off the same work.
The save warns you that you may be losing changes so that if you forgot to re-export then when you look at your exported image and your brain realizes that it isn't right you can go back and re-export.
The save warns me that I might be losing changes even if I just exported. Or are you recommending keeping an XCF copy of every non-XCF image that I have ever edited using GIMP?
I was under the impression that entire categories of applications that were unavailable for Chrome OS. One of them is the compiler needed for a high school student's programming class, which runs on Windows, OS X, and GNU/Linux, but not Chrome OS. SSH ceases to be enough once the student gets to the graphics chapter.
Or perhaps you are referring to purchasing a new Windows laptop and wiping Windows and the trialware that subsidizes Windows off its hard drive. I looked at a lot of low-cost laptops, and I found horror stories such as audio and sleep not working properly. (Source: DebianOn report for ASUS EeeBook X205TA.)
Or by "Linux laptop" are you referring to an Android tablet with a keyboard? Technically it runs the Linux kernel, but its userland is incompatible with applications designed for GNU/Linux, and its window manager assumes that all windows will be maximized. Why should a four-function calculator app fill the screen?
Or are you referring to settling for a used laptop, such as the ones I see in Google product ads when I search for linux laptop?
The issue is software publishers' failure to accommodate users who, through no reasonable fault of their own, are forced into a Hobson's choice of either a limited connection or no connection at all.
The argument remains valid with s-OS X-GNU/Linux-g:
You could buy a computer with "a decent OS" for $800 at system76.com, and people in your household would have to wait their turn to use it. Or you could buy two computers with Windows for $400 and a lot less waiting.
If we can blame Microsoft for anything, it's for not automating the process of dropping back to the basic driver, upgrading, and installing the latest working driver. I thought things like that were why I turned on CEIP or whatever Microsoft is calling Windows telemetry nowadays: so that Microsoft could see exactly why my Windows 7 product key is not showing up on the GWX server.
I bought the Acer PC in question in 2011, not knowing then that its chipset was essentially NOS. At the time, it was one of the few slim desktop PCs that came with integrated graphics better than Intel GMA (Graphics My Ass).
I was referring to Windows tablets and Windows laptops whose primary Internet connection is through a mobile hotspot: "If you can figure out a way to rack up more overages for our mobile broadband customers, we'll push your Lumia phones harder in our stores." I apologize for not being clear about this.
Some Windows users are stuck on cellular, with a monthly data allowance measured in the single digit GB, because they live outside the service area of the local cable company and the local DSL company, and the city is unwilling to allow any FTTH company access to its right of way. At this point I wonder whether cellular carriers that carry Microsoft Lumia phones are paying Microsoft to do this so that they can charge an overage fee twice: once for 3 GB of Windows 10 per PC in a household and again for 3 GB of updates per PC in a household.

Have you tried leaving a comment on each such video asking for a transcript?
If Americans were willing to vote with their dollars, Disney revenue would have dropped after the 1998 copyright term extension.
Are you sick of millions of non-whites flooding into every white country on Earth?

Block my mail and I'll just stop going to Yahoo altogether.
But how would you notify all your contacts, who have whitelisted your Yahoo address in their spam filters, of your new From address?
I have Thunderbird.
When Gmail upgraded its security measures last year, Outlook users were shown an error message directing them to the webmail interface. Yahoo could make IMAP a premium feature, at which point you'd get an analogous error message when attempting to access your account with Thunderbird until you subscribe.
So how are you "going to be simulating" the download of a video advertisement without actually billing the user's data plan?
display ads with 0% opacity
But then you burn 10 MB of your 5 GB/mo data allowance displaying a video ad on a page whose body is otherwise 50 kB.
Without Javascript you get served a page that asks you to enable Javascript or disable adblocking.
Can you give examples, so that I can make some screenshots in ELinks or w3m? (From things other than DHTML games please.)

If I can get someone from (or in) India to do something about 80% as well for 50% of the cost of an American worker, then why wouldn't I do it?
Because of the cost of locally fixing that other 20 percent.
We go online to buy items to avoid salestax.
And then, more often than not, break the law by not declaring use tax on your annual individual income tax return.
Or because Amazon sells it $10 cheaper than the local store, which employees people
My local store sells on Amazon, which employs people.

Or you could buy two computers with Linux for $350
Where did you find new laptops that come with GNU/Linux for $350, especially since the "netbook" category was discontinued three years ago?

The fact that System76's current laptop offerings are $700, $1400, and $1950.
