Yeah, I don't think Steve's quite the crazy mother that you're making him out to be.
Let's just say you had super haemoroids that were caused by the diarrhea you had due to the fact that you had some STD. You want to tell a bunch of people that shit? You think people will treat you the same way before as after?
There's shit we won't even tell doctors, for fucks sake. We're all private people and hate to have that privacy exposed.
Something along this lines would be much better than "oh this webserver didn't pay money to a CA provider, they must be dodgy"
Sometimes it's useless you know? Like when you have a control panel that requires SSL, but you don't really care to replace the certificate. Or if you need to visit a site, that you only know by IP address.
I'm still using firefox 2, and I will be for a long time
The government want you to use a passport. I don't think Verisign cares as much to provide a subsidy.
Also, you can get certificates that are legitimate for less than $100, however they don't have your company name on it.
I always look at a certificate if I don't know the company I'm dealing with.
Say for example I'm going to buy something from China, I never buy it directly from China. I look for a reseller in my country who has their company name in their SSL certificate (They have to provide documentation for this to occur, this is where the trust comes in). If the company is in there, I'll usually believe that it's a legitimate company, my credit card information will not be used and that the goods will be shipped and that they'll be what I ordered. If they're not, I have at least some recourse other than doing a chargeback (or hundreds if they took my card info). I've never ran into trouble using this method.
Under the guise of protecting children, they're finding great ways to filter copyright & non-conforming content. The plan is great as noone will stand up against the people filtering child porn so they can eventually filter everything else.
But why the hell would you? The filthy fucking perverts deserve to have their sick material filtered. So we have a Kansas City Shuffle, with us all up in arms about child porn, while really we're letting them filter everything questionable on the Internet.
Can't we just bring in longer jail terms, say greater than 30 years, and leave the fucking internet alone. What's the bet that the RIAA and MPAA have their fingers in this pie and it will end in us not being able to chat over voip because there's a song playing on the radio in the background or something equally retarded.
Yeah, but if you ever try to ring them about anything you can't get anything out of them.
I'll never pay money to an internet company that outsources support overseas.
Internode have fair limits and have local support.
Sorry, but I look after a fairly large network of linux machines and if you leave PHP configured by default and put some customer's crappy PHP code on there that noone else knows of on a half popular web site, people get into the machine.
It's not that the code is available enough that there's exploits out there for it, it's not that there's unpatched security problems in php, it's the fact that by default PHP has no functions disabled (functions that allow you to download a perl script from somewhere else and run it on the command line[i love the way the crackers use perl though]) has weak programmers due to it's perceived ease of learning. This machine will usually be owned within about 3 months (I test these things). If there's a way to get in, people will get in, even if it's only one machine.
The problems with multiple devices are multiple cables coming from the one AC Adapter. They need to have detachable cables with a predefined number of maximum plugs per adapter, otherwise you're going to have people get shitty with these cables laying everywhere.
It'll take a transition period of at least five years (going by what I have on my desk) to have ubiquity and that's only if everyone agrees on the standard today. Then you have chicken and egg.
The best we can expect from colaberation over multiple companies is partial success, which will mean no success. People have no reason to pay for something they get with a product anyway, market forces will prefer the cheaper product without the adapter, the adapter quickly dies.
I solved it by opening the receiver and replacing the little antenna inside (part of the printed circuit) with a long thin cable. Looked a bit dodgy, but I could walk a fair way without the signal dropping.
I have no problem with someone stopping child porn. It's a terrible thing that needs to be stopped. But I have a problem with filtering child porn. You see, today it's child porn and everyone gets on board because it's child porn and everyone can understand it. But tomorrow it's dissent, things the government finds objectionable, until the internet that was free turns into the internet that sucks because of all the false positives.
This is not a good thing. You need to increase the penalties for being caught with child porn to a level that scares people, not filter the shit. Filtering leads to filtering of other things, if it's easy the govenment will do it. If I were french I'd be calling for lifetime jail sentences for having child porn and no filtering.
Can anyone agree that the Self Signed SSL handling in firefox 3 is complete balls?
There's a line between security and retardation, and they're on the big bus side of the line. If I'm stupid, make the default for me. If I'm not stupid, hide settings in about:config for me to tell you to fuck off because it's complete balls that I need to add an exception for every single self signed certificate I come into contact with. Especially the 300 odd servers I have with self signed certs.
I call bullshit. I've got a machine that isn't anything similar to a mac that's been released, however OSX runs great on it. No crashing, nothing dodgy. In fact, that only problem I've had with it is I broke a SATA cable and the machine wouldn't boot. Wasn't software.
But at some point the people at Psystar must have clicked "I Agree" This is where they hire fifteen year olds to agree with the EULA. I'm sure that's legal.
I always found that fedora was an ungeeky kind of linux. It always wants me to install a gui, it has curses based menus for changing the network, firewall etc. It just always seemed as though it was trying to hold my hand through the whole thing.
Geez, it's not like bonzai buddy is being installed through Apple's software update. It's dodgy, sure, but the only reason you guys seem to be making a stink about it is because you're the "other" alternate browser guys. Most people who use iTunes don't know there are browsers other than IE - I'd go with say 60-70%. I know people who've never heard of Firefox, and would never bother downloading it because they see no point. They only downloaded IE7 because it was forced upon them (with no way to change back).
Apple is just using Microsoft tactics to open people's eyes about alternate browsers. It's brilliant, doing the same shit back to Microsoft they've been doing to everyone else for years. I can't believe you guys are all crying foul. This is the only way you can take on Microsoft, with similar tactics.
/etc/logrotate.conf
Your problem isn't Debian, as 7 days rotation is just fine in most cases. I'm pretty sure you'd use up more space with the default packages in other systems anyway.
That $80 charge is a verisign charge actually. It's called the redemption period and all registrars have to pay it to take the domain out of redemption.
I have to use centos every so often, and RPM's just annoy the hell out of me. That said though, I've only ever used yum to install apt-rpm, I then type apt-get -f install and on a default installation, it will still fix dependencies. I then use apt for everything.
RPMs aren't so bad when you have something sane managing them.

For every one of you there are who don't buy music, there are fifty high school girls buying shitty music.

Because of the mixed licensing of some of these packages, the distros are not allowed/afraid to redistribute the content.

It'll be using 3.5. Long term support is not offered because upstream won't be prioritizing fixes for 3.5 bugs in three years time
