Free Certificate Authority Unveiled by Aussies

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the good-things-from-down-under dept.

SonOfGates writes "Well, the Aussies have invaded Boston but at least they're not throwing tea into the harbor. AU-based nonprofit CAcert Inc has spent the last few days at USENIX '04 registering new users by the truckload. They bill themselves as a 'Community-Based CA.' Could this be the begining of a true 'open' certificate authority? See the O'Reilly story and press release."

    I neglected to add that when your taxes are lower than those in other states, you're stealing money from us. Our tax money has to go to pave your roads, pay for your schools, and keep your emergency services from completely collapsing.

    > I refer to those citizens of The United States of America not as 'Americans', because I don't believe the Mexicans, nor the Canadians (even the French ones ;) deserve the stigma of being associated with them.

    Then why in the hell do they keep sneaking over the borders and getting the benefits (e.g. medical, welfare) of "Americans"?

    Nice quote from War and Peace. Here's another one: Just because an ape reads Nitchze, doesn't mean he understands it. Thank you for entertaining us with your high drama.

    Oh, and the United States is a world leader because (1) your country follows us in servitude and (2) our country has to bail out your sorry country's ass any time someone gets out of line.

    We're the playground monitors of the world. You might not like the fact that we're there, but just get rid of us and see how often the other kids beat the shit out of you.

    And that, boys and girls, is how you do a Troll. ;)

    Hopefully, no one will see this post anyway, but just in case, Kerry was never governor. http://www.masshome.com/governors.html
