Now, I understand perfectly well that Verisign and its brethren have made a huge industry out of scamming consumers into thinking that identification is indeed something that a certificate provides; but that is marketing illusion and nothing more. Hokum and hand-waving.
Yep. If you read the fine print they admit that they cannot vouch for the identity of the website. From their end-user agreement (downcased to bypass/. filters):
6. disclaimer of warranty.... verisign makes no representation or warranty to any person that any ca or user to which it has issued a certificate in the verisign secure server hierarchy is in fact the person or organization it claims to be in the information supplied to verisign or that any ca or user is in fact the person or organization listed in the certificate. verisign makes no assurances of the accuracy, authenticity, integrity, or reliability of information contained in certificates or in other certificate status mechanisms compiled, published or disseminated by verisign, or of the results of cryptographic methods implemented in connection with such certificates....
Ask some MIT students, and I will guarantee you that not all of them will sing the praises of their professors, and in some cases they will tell you that they learned on their own because the class was taken over by some grad student so their professor could go toy around in the lab. That happens at many universities, and a big name school often has that more so.
You shouldn't assume so much without having gone to MIT. I hold two degrees from MIT, and can tell you that even the recitation sections of the introductory computer science courses (6.001, 6.033, 6.034) are taught by professors.
And I would hardly consider MIT "huge." MIT has 5,000 undergraduates and 5,000 graduate students. Compared to places like UMich Ann Arbor or UC Berkeley, that hardly qualifies as huge.
I tried FreeBSD for about a month and found the ports collection to be too unstable. too many things just didn't compile.
I'm used to using Debian where apt-get install on the stable distro just works. and when I want to compile from source, I can use apt-get src.
however, I did notice that FreeBSD's responsiveness under load was much better than Linux (compared to 2.4 AND 2.2). also, installation was MUCH easier than Debian's.
I submitted that link when the Industry Standard had that article. but did it get accepted? no....... but that's cool. I guess you can't get to all the submissions. maybe more people read the NY Times so you got more submissions this time around? oh well.

encode in FLAC. then transcode to any lossy format you want on demand.

They announce the 1.1 beta on the list, but not the actual 1.1 release??
