Why is it unreasonable to expect the RubySpec dev to do additional work, but reasonable to expect additional work from the MRI devs to comply with RubySpec? I get that "the implementation is the standard" is frustrating for people

That's if their phone has an SD card, of course. Lots of Android devices assume you'll use some kind of cloud storage for anything you can't fit in the phone's internal memory.

There was a nice bit about the shuttle's computer systems in the Challenger appendix to Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman , too. As I recall, it was the only part of the shuttle process that Feynman thought was engineered correct

Just about any host with IPv6 support will assign you a /64 block which is way more addresses than you'd need for this. Your case would then depend on the site you're scraping supporting IPv6, though.

With IPv6 there's no reason you couldn't do this, but what is the use case? I'm not seeing what you could do with individually addressable agents that you couldn't do otherwise.

It's a stretch to say they're letting me deploy an antenna. It's not like they're just an antenna colocation company where I go install it myself.

When you submit a form with a "mailto:" action, the browser opens the mailto protocol handler, which is the user's email client. So you hit submit on the form and then see a draft email filled out with your form responses.
