Literally all we did all day in efnet was call every new, suspicious user a fed. (You can tell I'm old because we used the word "fed" instead of "glowie")
I have no idea, but I guess it doesn't really matter. If you start sending massive amounts of spam through gmail, does it matter if you did it after logging into the site with your user/password or through oauth api access or through smtp?
When you open a comment thread, the upper part of the scrollbar is hidden behind the header. You have to scroll down a bit to be able to see and drag the scrollbar thumb. This on Chrome on Windows.
Precisely why I abandoned Tor and shut down my relays. It went from a technical project that solved an interesting problem to a "human rights" project that wanted to shape the world in a liberal Western fashion. That's a no-no from me.
Because technologies like GPON or HFC were designed with asymmetry in place because most users download much, much more than they upload. In the case of HFC the asymmetry can be particularly egregious.
Everything is performance-critical. I buy new hardware so it runs my software as fast as it can. Why would I upgrade my CPU if I knew my programs would start running slower?

I buy wintel so I can run my software from 15 years ago without interference. Literally the only reason I don't buy a mac. If they want to take that away, well, good luck to them
You can change your account's country by opening the store and tapping on your avatar. It's a bit convoluted (requires you to make up an address) but it's not the end of the world.
In manual cars, it's always felt wrong how much and how fast the car can decelerate by changing to lower gears without the brake light turning on - even if you are not technically using the brake, you can lower the speed so much as to create a dangerous situation with the guy coming behind, and therefore turning on the brake light would be appropriate.
