Or like the apoplectic fit browsers go into every time you want to use a self signed cert! Yes, my router/ap/storage appliance is self signed. Shut up already!
Why do browsers show warnings when self-signed certs are encountered?
A self-signed cert says 'I am yourbank.com because I say I am.'
A certificate from a CA says 'I am yourbank.com and Verisign can vouch for me.'
I've always considered McAfee software to be nothing but useless, bloated, annoying, bug-ridden crap that causes more problems than it solves. That's why I use Norton.
Speaking of that, I wonder if it is safe for Peter Norton to come out of hiding yet.
But what's even more interesting is that John McAfee uses a Flowbee to cut his hair.
Sorry, I forgot all about McAfee "anti" virus software until this story, as I and everyone I know stopped using it years ago.
The difference between a virus and an antivirus is that antivirus tends to consume more resources, do much more damage, and are generally more difficult to remove than a virus.
Kodak was replaced by a whole slew of companies that make components for digital cameras, cell phones, picture hosting, digital frames, etc.
If I recall correctly Kodak actually developed some of the earliest digital photography technology but like a great many has-been companies refused to embrace the new technology in favor of the decades-old cash cow until it was clear that digital was going to win out over film. By then the digital photography players were firmly entrenched.
I wonder when wired broadband service providers will do that - as it is, I'm pretty sure Comcast/Xfinity is doing sort of the same thing - I can watch as many things "on demand" on my cable box as I want without touching my bandwidth cap, but if I stream the same movies/shows from Netflix/Hulu, etc... then it does count against my cap (which I will just preach to choir and say "what part of unlimited don't you understand")
Unlimited - adj. The amount of money that a service provider can extract from you, either directly or indirectly. e.g. "Comcast offers Unlimited internet connections"
Many musical instruments are made of wood.
So I guess they are all at risk if the owners come to the US.
One of these days a customs agent is going to destroy a Stradivarius or other similarly rare instrument. Anyone who has a Stradivarius most likely is famous and/or wealthy, meaning they have (or know people who have) sufficient political connections to make said customs agent's life a living hell long after they leave government employment.
You don't want to sell what people want to buy, don't be surprised when people take their business elsewhere. It doesn't take an MBA to figure that one out.
No, Apparently it takes someone who isn't an MBA to figure that one out.
No, They are ninja turtles. And of course ninjas are experts in stealth. So we can assume that because no turtles were observed it is because they were hidden. Next time be sure to have plenty of pizza on hand and your results may be different.
How could humanoids remain a dominant configuration through billions of years of evolution as depicted in TNG? Seems like various forms would have plenty of time to develop multiple eyeballs etc. Humans are unique among primates in our upright stance, as opposed to the quadrupedal gait found in other primates. Was that supposed to have been baked into the cake in the TNG universe too, or was it considered an inevitable part of developing sapience?
I always thought Ursula LeGuin's Hainish Universe was a more sensible/plausible premise, where one species seeds itself throughout the local area of the galaxy in various ways in the past few million years - combining its DNA with that of local primates on Earth, for instance, thus humanity's aggressive streak as compared with other intelligent species.
If I remember correctly, the predominance of humanoid species in Star Trek was due to the low number of non-humanoid actors in the Screen Actors Guild.

No, the Government prefers corporations to do their work for them.

Exactly - it's reverse net-neutrality.

Yes, but it comes in a much taller jar.
With an extremely long neck.
Definitely have to get rid of that pesky Jesus character. Can't have someone going around providing free alcohol, food and healthcare.

The bloodsucking money hungry leech just won't go away...

Cut the guy some slack, he's still engaged to a Kardashian. I for one pity the guy.

Otherwise, you'll all get your edge content served from some random data center in the central USA.

You can pick up a stylus at most office supply stores for a few bucks. And many tablet cases have one or more loops to store them in.
It is reading based on short sentences printed on billboards making a witty slogan. The last billboards reads "Burma Shave".
Obviously both Democrats and Republicans are devolving at an alarming rate.
Or maybe you think we should sit down and talk to the guy firing an assault rifle over a nice cup of tea?
Sounds like a good idea. Just let me build up a tolerance to iocane powder first.

Why would you become a politician, if you didn't want to tell other people what to do? That's the whole point of politics.
I thought the whole point of becoming a politician was it doesn't carry the social stigma of being on welfare?

Think of as an incentive to switch to server core and do all your administration via PowerShell.

Still sounds better than the dictatorship under Emperor Bloomberg in NYC. (good riddance, he won't be missed. )
