Surely it's the other way around, normal software is dining out, and SaaS is dining in?

You've said this more than once, but you are completely wrong. 'Crystal' is Methamphetamine HCl. Desoxyn is Methamphetamine HCl. They are exactly, 100% the same chemical. If your issue is with smoking vs. other methods of ing

Is that actually what it was, or did people just start using it after a guess that it was that? As far as I can tell, BitTorrent Sync basically accepts any arbitrary string of decent length as a key.

Unless of course, your domain name is in the .uk namespace, which allows you to change your registrar at any point without their involvement. I don't know of any other TLD's that operate this way, but I don't doubt that there

I doubt it's from the FAA. ADS-B is trivial to monitor, there's lots of private individuals/groups grabbing this info.
