In four mouse clicks I've added that site to my exceptions list. It warned me, I read and understood the warning, I acted.
Good for you, but people like you - and me and the rest of the people here - aren't "normal". Grandma won't know what the hell to do (besides call you). She might even think "those evil hackers" "got her".
Self-signed certs are a potential problem, but Firefox could have worked out a better way of handling it. A more novice-friendly way.
Here goes whatever karma I've built up, but oh-fucking-well:
1. Native American Government is much much less transparent about their business than is normal in a 'Western' government, allowing shenanigans that even their own people would protest.
You insensitive White Man! You and your Western style of government and business is evil and corrupt! Don't you realize, Evil White Man, that bribes and corruption are part of our Native American culture?!
The Great Spirit manifests itself in suitcases filled with money!
The only problem is I could see people possibly neglecting areas like welfare.
I disagree. Most people would love to support assistance programs that actually produced results.
Anyone that's actually been poor - truly poor, not "my daddy didn't buy me a Benz for my Sweet 16!" - knows all too well that a guiding, helping hand can turn a life around.
2) I wouldn't hire these women on the basis that they are throwing hissy-fits over meaningless posts on the interwebs.
Disclaimer: My opinion. Don't know these females, don't want to. The following is only my opinion.
Same here. Instead of "getting back" at some lame troll(s), they are marking themselves as whining little twats that can't handle the Big Boy World. Any idiot that hires them deserves the headaches that will inevitably come with their employment.
It was only the "left wing liberals" who stirred up much of a fuss over this
Bullshit. The Paranoid Right has been beating this drum for a looong time. Remember the Clintons year? Yeah, the Paranoid Right was busy busting its ass during that time.
The problem, you see, is the "paranoid faction" of each party shuts up (mostly, anyway) when Their Guy is in the Whitehouse. I'm sure, for example, that "left wing liberals" will shut their white-guilt ridden mouths the second Obama gets in.:)
Welcome to politics! The average man gets ground to a fine dust.
This would fit nicely with the puntative damages model that are currently used for financial, anti-trust, and counterfeit fraud called "Treble damages".
Yes, but what about the damages caused by tribbles? As we are all aware, songs are still sung on Qo'noS of the Great Tribble Hunt.
If Dubya can fail to disclose his obvious developmental disability all these years then certainly everyone else is entitled to privacy, too.
He has a minor speech impediment. BFD.
It's crap like this that makes life a living hell for people with speech impediments. It's one of the last few forms of discrimination allowed by society.

Basically, we need Bruce Schneier and Jakob Nielsen to marry and have children. We'd better contact Dr. Moreau to work out the breeding program. :)
The little I know makes me want to avoid the entire mess.
Ok so do yourself a favour and RTFM.
Wikipedia entry = "The little I know". ;)
Except that the "window" was a concept that was known to many OS's before Microsoft got ahold of it.
Let's not confuse patents and trademarks.
Same case here with Cloud Computing.
I don't know what the situation with Cloud Computing is. The little I know makes me want to avoid the entire mess. So, I can't really comment.
You should not be able to trademark a name of a generic concept or practice.
Eh. This is getting philosophical.
Microsoft trademarked "windows."
Which only applies to operating systems, computers and related crap. It does not cover the use of the word for sheets of glass.
Trademark law seems a little less insane than copyright. At least, to a layman.
$71.96? Come on, Halo 3 was only $60 and that cost $100,000,000 to make.
Welcome to the world of academic publishing!
If you can't trust them to be non-evil, who can you trust?
Completely? No one. Not even yourself.
However, it's likely this tool is relatively safe.

If this drug works as advertised & has no dangerous side effects, why wouldn't *everyone* including athletes take it?
Like all the enhancement drugs - performance and cognitive, these will be banned for general consumption and highly regulated.
You'll need to go thru r&d channels, vet supply, or the import route.
Not that I know anything about grey market pharma.... No, sir, nothing at all. ;)
"Suicide", eh?
Trolling R&D!
Space exploration is so important to understanding how the universe was formed
Devil's Advocate: Then pay for it your damn self.
This sort of "speech" should not be tolerated anywhere.
<shock>Are you for real?</shock>

ooh! I may get sued for this!

Bandwidth is a constant expense
If you're a Yahoo! or Google, it's nominal.

Fit body, fit mind. Seriously.
Or was he intentionally making communication difficult?
Maybe he doesn't give a fuck? ;)
Anything beyond that is geek pedantry and nitpicking.
That is Slashdot.

OMG, feds read slashdot? *hides*
I heard they also go to DefCon. ;)
If Cuba ever gets its act together, it could become the hub of private space.
They would have the second it became an option.
