By setting security.enterprise_roots.enabled to true FF will check the Windows Certificate Store for CAs that can be pushed via GPO, so it should integrate more easily with Enterprise setups.
How would VKontakte (or Facebook, for that matter) enforce that someone enters their real name? It's not like you have to present an ID when you register. Special-interest groups (dissidents?) could agree on pseudonyms out-of-band and use them just on the social network.
I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but you're wrong. The US-centric Internet as we have it is basically a case of Not Invented Here: http://www.hightechforum.org/the-internets-first-turning-point/
A lot of the basic research was a multi-national effort.
I actually enjoyed the "made-up words", which actually were not that much made-up, but bear a strong resemblance to French (fraa == frère == brother, suur == soeur == sister, &c). For me as a Swiss with a multilingual education I had no problems following, and I wondered if Stephenson spent his last vacations in France or in some other francophone country...
So...are there any particular issues with S/MIME that make PGP a significantly more desirable solution?
For one, you don't need an PKI (with the associated hassles). But, of course, if you're working in an enterprisey environment, this'll be the only way to go...
Maybe it should be noted in this context that GnuPG 2 has been released recently. No longer a monolithic application, it includes tools for key and passphrase caching, smart card support, configuration, certificate revocation list and LDAP support and more. Thanks to Werner Koch et al for keeping developing this valuable tool.
The Monoppix Project makes a Knoppix-based Live CD with the complete Mono development environment included. So if you want to give it a hassle-free try, go ahead!
Firstly, I was talking about the list in TFA from Wired, not/. itself.
Secondly, the OP referred to a story about something a Finnish IFPI rep said to the Finnish media. Did you really expect Wired to pick up this story? Wired is mainstream media, as opposed to/. and Ars Technica, where the referenced article points to.
Or am I wrong and is there a quick and easy way to build a native "plug-'n-pray" driver base such as Windows XP has?
Actually, Apple has their hardware partners write the drivers for them, so ATI delivers the graphics cards including the OS X driver. I'd assume that Apple would want to keep this arrangement for other components, too.
Well, with 4096-QAM, you'd still have around 9MBps, which is more than enough in my book;-)
No, seriously: there's a difference between "baud" and "bps": baud is the number of different modulation states per second on the line, while bps is the effectively transmitted number of bits per second.
I use a combination of blosxom, which I also use to write my blog, and blagg, which reads my feeds and generates blog entries of the new entries in a separate "news" category. In fact, I have replaced blagg with a rewrite in Python that I call (obviously) plagg, but I haven't done its web page yet, so stay tuned...
And the next generation of zombie programs will do a simple DNS lookup for the mailserver of the current domain and start sending spam through the ISP's mailserver.
Fortunately, this will not help, because most (bigger) ISPs have separate servers for incoming and outgoing mail, and there are no DNS entries for outgoing mail!
I suspect that what he tried to do would have failed even without the call. Cash rooms tend to get much better security than warehouses.
Yeah, but he tried the cash room exactly because he knew that the same thing as before would fail. He had to come up with a new plan quickly and went for the unexpected.

Less vs. fewer.
Stannis agrees!

So it's not only the Swiss Franc that's strong relative to the US$. In the last 12 months, the dollar has dropped from CHF 1.05 to 0.75...

Now who do you think would also set up a few Tor servers to listen in?

Much more in-depth: http://blog.headius.com/2010/08/my-thoughts-on-oracle-v-google.html Especially the second part, where he analyzes each patent's claims.
because 4G treats voice as VoIP.
Actually, this part has not standardized yet.
It exists and it's called Django. Design your tables in Python, and it generates a web-based CRUD interface for you.

The list is obviously US-centric. As if you had expected anything else...
...with an installed TCP/IP stack? :-)

I just wanted to clarify this.

This may be true, but the parent specifically mentioned DNS lookups, so I just wanted to clarify his point.
The same remark also applies to the above reply.
