If I had to guess I'd say the front end probably places the incoming CSRs somewhere the actual CA infrastructure can get them - possibly a common database in a DMZ - but there'd never any direct communication between the two, they always go via the passive intermediary.
I do wonder if the reason they aborted was simply because it was the easier thing to do. If North Korea are being dicks, it's far easier and less risky to just let them get on with it - so long as they're not doing anything more than just being a PITA.
I'm sure the crew of an RC-7B is actually more than capable of navigating without GPS, if they needed to. Pilots managed it for decades before GPS was invented. Sailors managed it for millennia.
Yeah, I was really hoping for a Kindle based on the colour e-ink display. I really like e-ink displays, it's just monochrome e-ink is pants for a lot of reference books.
They really need to bring back the concept of infamy in law (basically, your word becomes worth shit and, in some places, you have less rights than a corpse).
Which is an invalid argument in the UK - and the whole of the EU - because Amazon do collect VAT on sales, where appropriate. It doesn't matter where you base yourself in the EU, you have to collect VAT when shipping to another EU country. Or EEC country. Or I forget which it technically is.
A little ironically, this excludes their bread and butter book business, because books are zero rated for VAT (along with magazines, newspapers, charts, maps, and various other printed works). At least in the UK - VAT rates are set by the individual countries in the EU, so we can technically shop around for a low VAT rate, if we want. Although any saving will probably get wiped out by shipping.
I needed a longer HDMI cable for one of my new monitors recently, so I cycled round to the local PC shop to sett if they had one, which they didn't. Nor did they have an HDMI gender-bender so I could kludge it with the couple of shorter ones I did have at home.
The guy in the store said "I'm looking at doing an order in the next few days, so I could get one in for you if you want?" and I'm thinking "Or, I could go home, buy it on Amazon using my Prime subscription and have it delivered tomorrow." I shall let you guess which I did. I think Amazon Prime is probably the best investment I've ever made, considering the amount of stuff I buy from them.

MI5 and GCHQ are two entirely different agencies. MI5 are counter intelligence and internal security, MI6 are foreign intelligence and external security, and GCHQ are in charge of intercepting and decoding communications and, iirc, also developing ways of protecting the UK's own communications. GCHQ basically do a lot of back room work for MI5 and MI6.
MI5 are what John Le Carre used to refer to as "the security mob" in his books based in the intelligence community.
Except the coins are only being sold in proof sets or as single proof coins. They're never being issued in Niue itself. The only people who will have them are people who have bought them - and the cost of the coins is above the market value of silver.
And technical question: it looks like they are printing the images in color, which means non-silver inks. How fast will those degrade when the silver tarnishes etc.? Why wouldn't they just use an engraving like most coins, especially for a near-pure silver coin like this? I would be much more tempted to buy it, too. This just looks like a (not so) cheap gimmick.
I'm curious about that myself - the NZ mint page for the coins yields no information on the matter.
The quality of information out there has probably improved quite a bit since I did it then, which was a considerable amount of time ago, really. Well, considerable by the standards of the internet (I suspect it might be getting on for 10 years ago). I was using a stack of OpenAFS, MIT Kerberos and OpenLDAP.
AFS, for a start, is massively too complex for most home users or small business users, unless they have dedicated admins who understand it.
I used AFS at home for a while, combined with Kerberos, for purely geek reasons. Being able to cd in to my friend's home directory in/afs/athena.mit.edu/users/ was amusing for a while. Until you remember that it's still as slow as hell when you're going out over your DSL connection and across the Atlantic to do it.
One of these days I might set it up again with Windows Server as the Kerberos server.
Background blurring is a function depth of field of the shot. If the background is sharp, it's because the director of photography decided it should be when they set up the shot.
You're also completely ignoring the point, which is Bizar didn't hold the rights, his company did. His company was dissolved by order of the state, for failing to pay state taxes. At that point the publishing rights are an asset of the company and, as far as I know, it becomes the duty of receivers to dispose of them in whatever manner they see fit, in order to repay any creditors.
It's possible, of course, that Bizar personally bought those rights back from the receivers, but I suspect it's not likely. It's also possible they sold them to someone else. If they ended up not selling them for some reason - like no-one wanted them - then I have no idea what happens to them; I would suppose they revert to the copyright holder, but IANAL, etc.
The fact that "on dissolution, publishing rights revert to us" clauses are generally void, isn't really relevant, as far as I can tell. The argument isn't that the copyright holders should have the publishing rights because the company was disolved, it's that Bizar doesn't have them any longer and so has no right to publish the work. A rebuttal of that argument would be demonstrating that he does hold the publishing right still and how.
It's both. There are large number of Jewish people who identify as "cultural Jew" but not "religious Jew", i.e. they're from a Jewish parentage but they're not active within the Jewish religion; they will celebrate passover, chanukah, etc with their families - because they're a cultural as well as religious practice - but you'll rarely find them in a synagogue.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if they just buy in bulk from a manufacturer and re-brand them, like Dell do with their drives. The last lot of Dell 2.5" SAS disks I looked at were just Seagate drives with a Dell sticker on them instead of the Seagate one (they didn't even change the model number).

You become an exceedingly popular person who people actually want to listen to?

I don't think you're nuts. I like exactly the same kind of thing. But then I also love awful movies and MST3K :)

Hmm, interesting. ASIO and VST support too, by the looks of it?

I'm guessing they're theorizing people might go to see Niue, having now actually heard of it.

You can buy them directly from the NZ mint.

OK, that would actually make sense, assuming the facts as stated are correct.

That's quite a generalization you have going there.
You have no expectation privacy walking down a street in the UK...
