    Yes there is a distinct advantage.

    A) They are cookieless domains, which has a pile of benefits for static content
    B) They are usually CDN's which have obvious benefits.

    The only issue here is people saying they control IP's that they don't own.

    If everyone trusts these organisations to give out IP's then tying BGP filtering to that is a logical extension.

    Yes plenty of laser glasses out there.

    When people's eyeballs are at stake you kinda don't want dirt cheap eBay glasses though.

    Erm where the hell do you think the IP's come from? Yep the central internet registries. APNIC, RIPE, AfriNIC, LACNIC and ARIN.

    There is your trusted central authorities. If you don't trust them then hand your IP's over.

    If they didn't photoshop it, then they certainly manually tweaked it until the bump is gone.

    One way or another, they are obscuring the bump deliberately.

    Most invisible lasers are infra-red.

    Infra-red will certainly go through the eye's lens and cook the eye.

    Aren't most propellants for food/human use nitrous oxide? Then the answer would be 0.

    For it to be a NDA it would also have to include positive reviews, and also telling your family about your stay.

    If they care about Yelp, then yes they have to work with Yelp.
    If they don't care about Yelp then they can ignore it completely.

    You can't care about Yelp but not want to do anything about it so the site should be shut down.

    It should be a clear enough distinction. Hotel's and restaurants don't get you to sign NDA's.

    That is weird. Sounds like the person you got didn't have a clue.
    If you begin the cancellation process 60 days before you want it cancelled, and they have a 30 day policy, then you should be fine and not have to pay for 90 days.

    It has to do with the actual atom sizes, not the fact the gas is inert.
    Their goal is for lower friction which Helium provides.

    Now Hydrogen could be quite interesting as a replacement..... :D

    One month for hosting isn't terribly uncommon nor unreasonable.

    Your new host will have the same line, unless you are billed per hour (E.g. AWS) and in which case you still need to pay for the full hour even if you terminate the server after 5 minutes.

    Depends if you are navigating by magnetic north or true north.
    If you were using magnetic bearings with your GPS then you will be just as lost as relying on the compass with GPS bearings.

    If some dope seriously compromised the thermometer's accuracy, say buy putting it near a radiative surface, then accuracy is lost and you have to throw the data out.
    You can't average out the error and just subtract it from all the numbers. The data is useless - you cannot repair inaccurate data.

    But they aren't 'correcting' for a simple cases like what you gave anyway. They are correcting whole areas not individual thermometers.

    But the temperature isn't 2 degrees cooler, it is exactly what the thermometer measured.

    Yes cities are heat islands. But a heat island isn't a magical thing that makes thermometers read higher than reality.
    You can't 'correct' the accurate measurement. It was that temperature at that location.

    You don't 'correct' the data. The data that was collected is completely accurate in the context of being close to a city.
    Accurate data + apply correction != accurate data.

    This is done in Australia with virtually every single ISP with one tiny exception.

    The quota you have is in big print right next to the price.

    If you don't tell people what the quota is (in a fair way) then blatant lie does cover it quite nicely.
