Sorry buddy, but you are full of it.... I went through the process of getting a cert for a domain at Thawte. It was snail-mail, they called and all sorts of hassle. The documentation needed included a copy of the corporate registration (presumably then verified by Thawte) In the end my company could prove that the domain was legit. Actually only the url-trees that I provided were included in the cert. (mycompany.com/url1 would return a valid cert whereas mycompany.com/url2 would return a non-valid response) I cannot see that they have slacked off on that... But maybe you are referring to thawte.haxxor.net not thawte.com:-D
OK that is a nice toy.... But seriously... What would the point of such device be? A friggin stove uses 6-10 kW. One of these towers would maybe cover the lights in one home. The average home AC and stove would require 4-6 of these each. Wind power can be a serious supplement to other green power forms but Windspire can not realistically add anything significant.
The real issue is not wehter the intended recipient can save a readable copy.The idea is I believe to prevent unintended recipients. Now how prevent that? As the message will have to have some form of information on how to obtain the crypto key.... How prevent the snooper to find the key if he also has the application????
Somehow plain old PGP/GPG seems a whole lot better
Hehe... My ex has already applied the reverse.... anything I said more than 3 hours earlier was gone... "You never said that":-D

With all due respect.... I use Linux because it's easy to use AND it's free as a bonus. And my Fedora tells me every time I log in what updates are available. If I so choose It is just one click away to update all installed software on the box. My 5 year old uses Linux on the kids 'puter and it's easy....
Ever tried to change settings on a Windows system? 542 clicks later you find the right dialog....
My bad:-( I mixed up ubuntu with gentoo witch is not newbie stuff... As the saying goes "sometimes it's better to be quiet and believed a fool rather than opening it and remove all doubt":-)
Nope! Every step in the food chain has a generic "add x% to any purchase price" factor. So the extra 25 cents will, if applied early in the chain, cost the end user several dollars. This has nothing to do with logic, it's economics:-(
However, expecting that you'll have carte blanche access to the systems during your two last weeks is a bit silly. Most people spend that time backing up code to personal computers or otherwise stealing IP belonging to the employer.
If I were to to that kind of shit when I resign, I would likely do that the week prior to handing in the resignation... It is another story when they terminate your employment. Then they may realistically assume that you might be somewhat miffed. When I was laid of in 2002 my boss said, can you please gather up your stuff by lunch and we'll pay you a cab home so you get your stuff home too. They showed me professional respect, and I still respect them and had no reason to diss them (or myself...) by doing shit or steal stuff.
If there is a mutual respect neither you nor your employer should not have to expect silliness.
In the early ninetys (or maybe earlier) there were other prepaid services that likely had a database that connected an ID of some sort to a remaining usage balance. Yeah it may have been a different ID from a phone number and the usage probably was not airtime. When will America wake up and correct the absurd patent and judical systems?
Seems you don't get it. fsync() flushes to the device not to the physical media! The specs clearly says that all the data should be sent to the storage device, it does not say that the storage device should flush it's internal cache too! Do you see the difference?
I think you missed the point here buddy... In the case of Linux, after sending the data, the driver explicitly issues a hardware command to tell the device to write to media and STFU until done! Do you see the difference?
Yeah, it's illegal to detain a Canadian wanting to reenter Canada. But if you can't produce sufficient evidence that you are Canadian, then it is not illegal because the border guys can reasonably assume that you are a terrorist (or even American:-) and therefore not entitled to free entry.
In Sweden too! If you own a device capable of receiving broadcasts you have to pay. That includes any device regardless off viewing habits or even viewing cabability. A blind man owning a VCR (but no TV) would have to pay....

No no no! :-D :-D
Not links to tin foil hat sites
Why does this give this scary conspiracy nut feeling?? :-)
Just the URL-s of the sources (one even broken) screams tin-foil hat and blackened windows

That is true. I prefer Slack for myself and use Fedora and uClinux at work and my kids use Mandriva.
My bad :-( I mixed up ubuntu with gentoo witch is not newbie stuff... :-)
As the saying goes "sometimes it's better to be quiet and believed a fool rather than opening it and remove all doubt"
Ubuntu and Slackware are not recommended for people who are not very familiar with Linux....
Try Mandriva...
And then the crash commision is going to try to extract data from 47 broken iPods found in the wreck :-)
Most of the quoted statements are more than 10 years old. None is less than 5 years old.
I'd say that it is a fairly safe assumption that HIV is one of the most important factors in AIDS. Maybe not the only one though.
Saying that HIV does not cause HIV is borderline criminal.
Nope! :-(

The Internet was not invented by Al Gore, although he was loosly attached in the top of the political management of the project that did.
And incidentally the naming was not a part of that project. Furtehrmore the triple w part (HTML etc) was invented in Switzerland, at CERN by a Brit.
