Bullshit. I am a Starbucks Gold Card holder. By default they serve their coffee black with no room for cream and sugar. Also, I drink dark blend, but add cream and sugar, and I promise you none of us give a fuck what you think of it.
This has to be the most stupid thing I've seen argued about on Slashdot in years. It is possible that someone may mistype a username or a password. In the former case it is possible such a user exists that is not the intended user. If they try to log in and mistype but there is a username that matches it is still possible the username is incorrect and not the password. The system has no way of knowing. In the end, no pertinent additional information is conveyed by adding additional checks and serving up a different message when the user doesn't exist. There is added complexity with no benefit.
Which would be an important point if mine wasn't that it is *not* required, nor served, but rather is something some people apply after it is served, much like the OPs "sugar water" statement.
What the hell are you going on about? Starbucks has different blends, but they aren't "releases" and calling coffee "coffee flavored sugar water" is like calling Prime Rib "A1 smothered steak flavored cow muscle". It isn't served with sugar, and coffee is literally coffee flavored water.
Even though "Alphabet" is the name of Google's parent it is still a good concept even when dealing with other companies. If you understood the alphabet you would know that N comes after M.
Calm down Sally. They aren't stopping anyone from using HTTP, they are merely making sure uses are aware that their connection is not secured. They aren't breaking anything. The fact is that the S in HTTPS is the secure part, and without that S your connection is not secure. If communicating facts to the user is breaking things then lets hope more people start breaking things.
"Let's say I'm downloading a file that's several GB, like a disk image. When I download it, I'll verify the signature."
If you are tech savvy enough to do this then you are tech savvy enough to realize that the image means you are using HTTP, not HTTPS. They aren't stopping you from using HTTP, just making sure you are aware that you are using HTTP rather than HTTPS. So what it the problem again?
Yay, my childish little stalker is back! I missed your inane and repetitive little posts that show what a little douchebag coward you are! Welcome back!
I hate Schmuckerberg, but this isn't a conversation about personalities. It is a technical discussion. IOW, you aren't really qualified to join it. Off you go now...
I'm sorry, but that simply isn't correct. There are numerous features that Messenger offers that email does not,including nationwide contact discovery.
Again, you cannot use the words "the" and "a" interchangeably, and the meaning of the original sentence changes completely when you substitute one for the other. The hilarious thing is that you think you are smart when you are in fact so stupid you can't learn that simple lesson.

So you are saying "slyborg" isn't your main identity?

Any time you install Ubuntu you take a giant step back. Nothing will protect you from incompetence I'm afraid.
Trump isn't investigating. I don't know where you got that idea.

Release early / release often is not a new concept.

Simply googling "online letsencrypt cert generation" would have saved you from stating this misinformation.
It is 2017. SSL certs are free. And nobody is "popping up" any notices. They are accurately showing a "Not secure" lock icon.
The absence of information is the opposite of information.
Yes, and if you tweet any well deserved criticism he will respond by blocking you.

Again, one doesn't have to harass to be accused of harassment.
I can't. Your mom won't let it go.

You are one stupid motherfucker. Off you go now little troll ...
Who the he'll told you that? Even if it were true it is 2017. We are literally always at war.
But mommy, why am I getting in trouble? Johnny was bad too!

I'm sorry you don't understand English, but to be fair you can't blame your teachers; you are far too fucking stupid to learn.
