That assumes you're allowed to use a 94-element space. I've come across too many password systems on the web where you're limited to 62-elements (alphanumeric only, upper and lowercase.)
"I'm not sure if you read the summary, but protestors lit a number of construction vehicles on fire, causing $2.5 million in damage. "
I'm not sure that you've been paying attention, but it was learned that private contractors acting on behalf of the oil companies have been agent provocateurs. Wanna bet they're the ones causing the damage?
"LOL! You think so? Let's say your own DNS infrastructure is a victim of this attack with the same magnitude. Are you able to handle this?"
Yep, all fucking day without even looking, and IPv6 will make it even easier. It's called a static IP address and not having more fucking domain names than you can handle.
While everyone else was fucked, my sites ran without a problem, and they all use DynDNS.
" Apple chargers are incredibly over-engineered to protect against many problems."
Except for people running them off square-wave inverters, and then your touchscreen goes to utter shit because of the real Apple charger (as in the one that came with my fiance's 4S) passing along some seriously wonky power and signal. Give it a shot, hook up to an O-scope and watch for yourself. You might even be able to hear a slightly audible buzzing from the iDevice itself.
I spy so much shitty code. Most of the site doesn't even serve static content from a cookieless domain, and most of the site itself is scripting/code instead of media/text.
Exploitable from the bottom up.
Turn your own people against your site first before advertising out to others, eh?
The actual solution is fire everyone that has no expertise doing their own troubleshooting and hire people that possess these capabilities, company-wide.
*THEN* you can get rid of the help desk, and downsize all the other departments (including IT) because there will be far fewer support requests coming from the other departments, and the people at the computer are likely to be faster and more productive. They're also likely the kind to help you find even MORE efficiency to gain, and let you know FREELY about it. They might even have the system already designed and an implementation ready for you to try!
That's how you run shit as CIO. You get the CEO, CTO, and COO on board with that plan and go. Real lean, you can pay the fewer people remaining more money AND still manage to pocket a good chunk of money on the side.
I have no clue why the fuck anyone needs a degree to figure this out.
One I'm independently-contracted to has an awesomely-managed IT team, it's the other departments doing shit we tell them not to or not properly communicating a time frame or message that fucks everything up.
IBM's sample size isn't statistically important because it's not randomized, and it's not representative of anything other than IBM and their failure at managing Windows systems and them not learning how to lock down systems once they get everything working.
The result is an obviously incompetent IT staff at IBM. That's all there is to it. If they haven't locked their systems down after getting everything to work flawlessly like any smart business would do, and then things like updates come along and break shit, that's IBM's fucking fault, not Microsoft. This kind of thing is expected from Microsoft as it has been an issue since Windows 95. If IBM hasn't learned this lesson in over two decades and done due diligence to prepare for it (and the solution is way cheap per license, keeping the TCO way under anything a Mac costs) then they likely never will.
When I worked at Flextronics, we had far, far, FAR more problems with your Apple servers hosting OS images than ANY of the Windows Servers in the same building. Literally the TCO in lost time alone from the Apple server trumped the cost of every computer on the repair floor.
You've been shilling it all these years, but someone who's worked both the hardware and software side of Apple, like myself, knows far better.
"No system allows a customer to download 500 exabytes a day."
You've obviously never managed a bank of Camfrog video chat cloud servers. One good fully-loaded Asian server can knock out 300 exabytes within 24 hours.
Go take some college courses and learn critical thinking if you can't draw a parallel between "all you can eat" and "unlimited" you technological crackhead.
Actually, correction; go back to middle school to re-learn basic reading comprehension.
The e-ink display in the original is far better than the shit they put in the Voyage, oh ignorant fuck that doesn't actually work in the electronic manufacturing industry.
Battery life - I have it. You don't. You fucking sucker.

Son, I was playing with hardware load balancers on remote systems before you likely came to troll this site.

Tennessee has one of the largest distribution systems in the United States. If Amazon pulls out, they're fucking themselves.
"with a large external power brick (which it probably has anyway because of the screen)."
Right in the summary they say internal 270W PSU.
Signal and Tox do not do video worth a shit.
You can't have high-entropy in a short password. The math simply does not work out.
"All you need to recover it is sticky tape or cyanoacrylate"
Sticky tape is far better. Cyanoacrylate changes shape slightly as it cures, distorting the fingerprint.
"LOL! You think so? Let's say your own DNS infrastructure is a victim of this attack with the same magnitude. Are you able to handle this?"

"Yes I think your argument was THAT stupid and almost as offensive."
Then you must not have any critical thinking ability. Good day!
Before the move to the cloud, no. Now, yes, a US server absolutely can.
I would have thought someone with your username and low UID would know how to run your own fucking mail server by now...
Which totally defeats the intended ability to keep network traffic flowing no matter what.
So it's safe to say Google has effectively broken the internet.
Now those who have subletting clauses in their rental contracts have reason to sue the shit out of Cumstain.

You fail at some of the finer points of statistics. Randomized samples are the standard, not self-selected internal departments.

I took on Electronic Arts and won over Spore (and even had the story featured on Slashdot) - wanna try your bullshit again, son?
