You are right, but acknowledging these posts does nothing to help I am afraid. I know this is not the best place to nitpick, but I believe you should capitalize the "m" in "Muslim" when used as a noun.

Actually it adds (or, should I write, multiply) up to x48 if you take the lower bounds and x120 for the higher bounds that sylvinus provided above.

Seconded. Actually, as a bank, you only need to be slightly more secure than your competitors. Moreover, you will never need to be unbreachable; many times I have seen banks not fixing vulnerabilities, simply because these vulnerabilities

Actually this is the same thing in France. The bill is simply aimed at "legalizing" practices that have been going on for years. Also, since the Snowden leaks, some actors have started to question the legality of some practices, a

I feel deeply outraged that this precious scientific artifact was simply auctioned, instead of given to TNMoC, the British Museum, or really any institution committed to studying it and presenting it to the public.
