  1. Re:Conditions really aren't right on Google Cancels Spring IPO · · Score: 1

    Unless the secret service needs to be notified of the parent post.

  2. Not an Apache specific answer... on Using Single Apache SSL/Non-SSL in Production? · · Score: 1

    One reason to keep these running separately is that it becomes easier to dedicate hardware specifically to the SSL portions of your hosting infrastructure, should you choose to go that route.

    Another consideration is whether Apache limits your use of a cert:key pair to each instance. We have always used (Netscape Enterprise|iPlanet Enterprise|Sun ONE). Earlier versions would limit you to 1 instance per port listened OR 1 instance per SSL cert. Eventually, we had up to 30 instances of the httpd running because there were 30 different SSL certs.

    Good luck.

    If I hadn't wasted all my moderator points on 'Funny' yesterday, I could send some 'Informative' your way. Here's another description of how the line works.

  4. Microsoft says: Don't click URLs anymore... on Another Serious MSIE Hole · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "The most effective step that you can take to help protect yourself from malicious hyperlinks is not to click them. Rather, type the URL of your intended destination in the address bar yourself. By manually typing the URL in the address bar, you can verify the information that Internet Explorer uses to access the destination Web site. To do so, type the URL in the Address bar, and then press ENTER."

    Find that hard to believe? http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb; [ln];833786. Remember, type, don't click.

  8. Re:Free Shrimp!! on Mars Express Confirms Water on Mars · · Score: 2, Informative

    You don't. The promo is only if the Mars Exploration Rover finds it. And it's pretty far away from the martian south pole.

    Long John Silver's announced today that it will give America free Giant Shrimp if NASA's Mars Exploration Rover project finds conclusive evidence of an ocean on Mars by February 29, 2004. The out-of-this-world offer from the world's most popular seafood chain celebrates NASA's efforts to find traces of ocean water - and possibly, evidence of life - on Mars.

    Besides, this is one of those times you should seriously consider just saying no.
