Hateful speech is not illegal. False claims that substantially harm a person ARE illegal under slander/libel law. This law applies whether the comments are online or on the playground.
Well, Europe has a tendency to fine the ever-loving-shit out of US technology companies who do business there. Those fines, naturally, make their way to the shelf-prices of products from Intel or Microsoft. In the end, it becomes just one more hidden tax on European consumers from their loving government.
If US companies could not pass on the cost of EU fines to EU consumers, they would just stop selling their products over there.
Europe really is a decade or two behind the US economically. It's mainly because they blew all their infrastructure up in WWII, but also because of anti-competitive protectionist legislation. "Semi-First World" may be an overstatement, but there is some truth to it.
The end result of all the bullshit lawyers try to shove on people who actually produce things for a living is the same. We route around it. This policy will cause people to use webmail, alternative email clients, IM, and other technologies to get on with getting work done, while the lawyers remain blissfully ignorant.
That is precisely how, and the only security measure which could help you involves verifying transactions over some unrelated medium (say, text message).
You are correct, however, the banks somehow decided that storing a cookie on your hard drive qualifies as "something you have." And they can make it arbitrarily easy to get new copies of these cookies.
It's bogus, of course. The banks don't have REAL two factor authentication.
To cover-up this conspiracy, the government will soon inject him with a secret drug to give him dementia. Those diabolical bastards... who stole my teeth??
Actually, even smartcard-based security can be circumvented using man-in-the-browser attacks.
Such attacks are 1000 times more difficult than your typical keylogger/phishing attacks against weak fixed-password authentication, but they DO exist and are being used.
If banks required two-factor authentication like they should, then even using a totally-pwned internet cafe for your banking would have greatly-reduced risk.
There was nothing in the way of identification verification.
Why do you need identification to transmit a PUBLIC key (aka SSL cert)?
Note: The moderators in this discussion who nuked my other post, like the parent, seem to not understand the difference between public and private keys. Crypto is complicated, but those who don't understand it should not be moderating a crypt discussion!
You really don't know what you are talking about, do you?
It doesn't matter how they transfered your certificate to you. Your certificate is a PUBLIC KEY. They could have displayed it in base64 on a billboard in Times Square and you would be no less secure.
SSL certs from Verisign, etc. prove that some level of attempt has been made to make sure you are who you say you are, and that there is some sort of money trail leading to you.
Any decent piece of audio/video gear should have an SPDIF digital output. Does anyone know of a way to losslessly record this digital output? That should provide a way to timeshift any audio regardless of the source.
If you buy electronics, the price WILL GO DOWN in the future. This is not being "stiffed." This is reality. Stop whining. The fact that internet whiners got lucky ONE TIME with the iPhone is a freak occurrence. Do not expect your whining to every pay off for any of the millions of other electronic devices sold every day.

Wake me up when we have a 3D printer that is capable of printing a 3D printer. Then we'll be on to something.
Those are the most dangerous words in the modern world. And our government gleefully uses them against us.
Freedom failed.
I hate you and everyone like you. You're all a bunch of champagne-sipping bums. Now sue me and prove me wrong.
That's for the court to decide.

But, to be fair, it was really really good gum.

Keeping email records for 181 days is neither wrong, illegal, nor immoral.

That's logically invalid. There have to be at least two boys such as yourself for the statement to be true.

No! The cheapest code is the code that doesn't require support, maintenance, or bug fixes! Development costs are trivial compared to upkeep costs.

Neat! The same is true of horoscopes and fortune cookies!

You don't get that with freebie CAs.
The fanboyism is strong with this one.

Answers: Stem cells. You say "it doesn't regenerate" but you're wrong. Babies regenerate it. We just need to get the same process going in adults.

Well if a blog says it's "well sourced," that's good enough for me!
