Yep, and I'm sure the corporations will just take that hit on their margins and not have any retaliation.

Theoretically, it would be cheaper for the company if they do new menus frequently. A lot quicker too, potentially.

I would be willing to go out on a limb and say that all people are entitled to due process.

Why is the M upside-down?

The DNS system is still just computers/servers, so anything from overloading a server to outright man-in-the-middle type attacks can compromise the DNS (though this is where you'd get into how the DNS communicates, propagates, and distributes trust, which is a topic that I have little knowledge on)

So I get why they didn't, but I'm very irked that they don't have a list of the banned words. I'm just curious how they came up with 400 inappropriate words.

How far back in the day are you thinking? I'm pretty sure recreational drugs have been around for a long while.

I think the framing needs to show that it isn't going to be "more work", it's just different work. The people being tasked with this clean up would've been doing something else, not just standing around.

So the way I understand it is that the elves can sail to the Undying Lands. And by doing that they use the "straight road" and just take a hard pass on gravity and sail tangent to the round earth

As an answer to your not-a-question, I think it would imply that Arda is an absolutely massive planet, such that your sight line would be further.

I guess the point that I'm not explaining well enough is the implication that this isn't spying when you're talking about things as abstracted as what OS a user is using.

You're very obviously stuck in the specific example of firefox and have a large difficulty in making a larger observation on the ideas that I'm offering.

The simplest response I have is this:

Firefox has changed over the years. Understanding their user base to create a better product is a good thing. This includes collecting technical data that is relevant to the performance of their product. This is still a good thing. It is a bad thing if they take this data and sell it as an additional profit avenue.
