Are you arguing that it's non-linear? Because I'm pretty sure Firefox is paid based on a tiny 3% slice of market share.

Anyone who wants to put a computer on the internet needs a phone number. There are now more computers than phone numbers, especially old ones without an area code or country code. As a result, those numbers are bought and sold, and amazon n

But isn't this clause how we got NIST? Who, among other things, regulates time itself?
