The generator at the local cell tower ran all the way from 7pm on a Friday until nearly 6am on the monday (when someone finally turned up to switch it off) just as a data point.
It's time someone constructed a version-control file system. I mainly use subversion and it can be a real pain when you used mv instead of svn mv. (And other related commands). These things should be transparent (not that that's an indictment of Subversion).
Not necessarily so much. At the distance I hold my phone up while watching, it occupies about the same angular space as the TV at its much further distance (actually just a hair more). The resolution is less but between effects such as Netflix compression degrading the picture and being slightly short sighted, it's pretty much a wash.
I prefer people on the TV to be smaller than me so I can pretend I am a giant and lord it over them. Bow to me, tiny Bryan Cranston. Tremble, tiny Michael C Hall.
Seriously, as long as I can understand the story and see what's going on and, preferably, hear the dialogue without people mumbling, I'm happy.
How much are current certificate rotations just the CAs making sure they keep getting money year-on-year? I bet if the option was there for a non-expiring certificate, many places would do that.
Saves money on the stamp but costs money for the DMV employee.
Just allow people to go online and print out the stickers themselves. You could either purchase waterproof printing materials or they could go in the windscreen like they do in other parts of the world.
In theory, the private key itself can be encrypted. But this means you have to enter the passphrase on server startup and I suspect the key is available in memory after that (though steps to mitigate that may be taken) so you're not a whole lot better off.
Typically it requires the installation of a new CA (which can be done via group policy) into the browser. Certainly Zscalar would nag me incessantly about it until I finally clicked "accept" and when I was the admin of a Bluecoat box, that is the way it would have done it had we implemented it.
CAs have been compromised before. The only real way (assuming no other vulnerabilities) to be sure is to verify the certificate yourself. Unfortunately this is "inconvenient".
Wait a minute, didn't we already go through the whole "Security vs convenience" thing with MS in the 90s?
I'd like to know why they never revisited their enormously popular banana phone. Motorola made bank on the StarTac and derivatives for many years. Nokia just started making minor adjustments to the candy bar format.
Also, if their tremendously buggy WAP phone had actually worked properly, the mobile landscape could have looked a lot different today. Nokia managed to effectively kill a whole protocol stone dead all by itself.

Keeping two copies of everything is also needless.

I hate having to watch a 15 minute video for something I could skim-read in 30 seconds.
He started out saying "RV-ing". I think "camping" must have been a slip of the tongue (or fingers since typing with a tongue... ewww.)
Nah, the plot's still there: To boldly go...
Nope. National Socialist.

Most of it's automated. Or should be.
HFCS.
OK, probably not. But I'm avoiding it. Correlation is not causation but there's an awful lot of correlation going on.
Maybe they will take a page from Amazon's book (no pun intended) and you'll be able to pay extra for no advertising.
Palm? How about Anroid and IOS?

There's no good reason for that these days though.
It's not that unscalable. It's just that it's inconvenient. Big difference.
My bank, for example, should have its fingerprint on prominent display in every branch. Possibly on every card or check it issues.

If they were minting private keys for *everyone*, that might be noticed. If they restrict it somewhat, that greatly reduces the chance of detection.

Dehumanize? Does the word "thug" ever apply to other than human?

There's a fair bit wrong actually.
Not familiar with those but note that I didn't say that it didn't already exist. Just that a centralized service is not an acceptable implementation.
