I've never emailed them but I have called them on a few occasions. Somehow they pick up before it even rings once. And it's a real person, not a phone tree. Pretty remarkable.
I remember checking Netcraft to see what server software different sites used and how long those machines had been up. The example graph [1] was www.apple.com and showed the switchover from Solaris to OS X (running, you…

Tinder is murder. I'm 39, male, tall, attractive, fit, educated, etc. in a small-midsized city and it's extremely, extremely, rare to get a match. Very occasionally (1-2x/year, in my experience) things progress to a…
