It didn't make sense, the thing you just said. The author is proposing an easier flow to accepting self-signed certificates. How could that defeat the purpose of having a CA?
I am just thinking of something like Linked-in or Facebook for certificates. You create a network of trust and you could see visually who the web of trust is associated with. That way you could self-sign a certificate, but get a friend to trust it and in turn you vouch for trust his/hers and so on. Certain entities might trump this web, such as paying entities, since this creates a a financial record identifying who the party is.
It is truly a case of fighting piracy. Anybody who thinks otherwise is severely delusional.
Although I don't own a DS, I can say I do know some owners and they are using hacks to allow the use of pirated games. Sure one or two of them are using the hack to use Linux, but I doubt that's what most people are using them for. One of the reasons cited is that if they were to pay for all the games they played they would be broke.
If SD chips are really getting that cheap, why don't magazines start including them with demos? At least that way gamers could try the games before coughing up the money.
Now that KDE 4.1 is using WebKit in place of KHTML, does this mean EOL of KHTML? For anyone using Konquerer in the new KDE, how does web performance differ from the previous version?
The engineers dilemma, at least for battery levels:
- how the real value taking into account all variances including current usage and thus constantly move up and down the value
- average out the results to something close, but not exact, since this is what satisfies most people
Given the BIOS should be on its way out, being replaced by the more modern EFI, are there any generally avaialble EFI based mother boards? Also, does EFI solve some of the issues with regards to ACPI mentioned here? Linux supports EFI as far as I am aware (well there is ELILO).
"It's too risky for anybody to translate that [The Bible] into other languages. Mistakes can creep in... and that can lead to heresy. True Christians should only read English."
Reminds me of the Red Dwarf episode, where Rimmer explains that a typo in a copy of the bible meant that a whole community was hopping on Sunday instead of hoping on Sunday.
What gets on my nerves on companies that use client side Visual Basic (VB) in their web pages. This sort of thing screams incompatibility all over it, since it will only ever work on IE on MS-Windows. When some of these companies are quizzed their response translates to "they could not care less". One company with this attitude is "Project InVision", so steer clear of their time sheet application.
For me, I test my application first with Firefox, followed by Safari and Opera. IE gets treated last because I know its going to be a headache. I don't test with Linux specific browsers, since I don't have access to a Linux box to so, and I feel if it is working in the four major browsers, then there is a chance something is broken in the browser I didn't test with - maybe not a great attitude, but there are only so many hours in a day.
Since when are these things mutually exclusive? You can have both, play both, and enjoy both.
I do just that. Each type of gaming has something going for it. With friends over we sometimes sit in front of the TV and play a console game; other times we are just happy to get away from the screen (computer and TV) and just enjoy a good board game. Some board games that come to mind include 'Settlers of Catan' and Risk.
Well that may be, but mario kart as a series has sucked for a long time, it's designed so that no matter how bad you are you can still compete. This is done by making there be 'catch up' for slower racers and of course, the INSANE items that kill the entire track. Don't bother. Play old games and PC games instead.
Mario Kart is not a traditional racing game. Mario Kart is about 'cheating' to get first. So sure you can go from 1st to 12th by being hit by a blue shell or going up the race positions thanks to a speeding bullet, but that is what the game is about. If you want a pure racing game, then Mario Kart is most certainly not the game you want to be playing. I would love to see some traditional racing games for the Wii, that take advantage of the Wii Wheel, but I think we are going to have to wait a bit.
As a side comment, one thing that is interesting to note is that most of the popular games for the Wii are actually from Nintendo. This can mean one of two things: Nintendo understands its user base well or third parties just aren't writing enough good software for the platform.
We already have that, but with FORTH, it's called OpenFirmware and I wish Intel would have adopted it instead of going with the slow to be adopted EFI.
It probably wouldn't be so slow to be adopted if Intel managed to get all motherboard manufacturers, developing for Intel cips, to start using EFI with the BIOS backwards compatibility mode.
Really? The Wii is limited to 480p - so that's a rubbish picture for those of us in PAL territories. The sound is limited to stereo - so no DD or DTS. Considering an £20 DVD will have digital sound and better quality - why bother using the Wii in that way?
As you say you will probably get more out of a dedicated DVD player, but it can't really hurt if does play DVDs.
The funny thing is there is a Cambridge Ontario which just happens to border on Kitchener-Waterloo which is where Perimeter is. Wouldn't it be funny if he ends up moving from Cambridge to Cambridge?:)
Today class I have question for you: what is the distance between Cambridge and Cambridge. Does not compute is not an answer:)

Whooosh? /. readership for judging a market.
Wow, that is a blast from the past. Reading that just goes to show why you shouldn't be using the
Once they finish working this out, I would really be interested if someone manages to reproduce a working version.
I know! Let's go throw so freaking tea in the ocean. We'll show them!
Jolly good show.

Eclipse offers such a feature, but I need to ask what format is this 32MB file you are meant to be editing?

if only there was some sort of law that covered the tendency of things that can go wrong to go wrong.
I hear Murphy might have one :)
Faith, hop, and charity... and the greatest of these is hop.
Clearly you have a better memory than mine :)

I mean, they didn't come up with the cute name, but they did package the technology first.
True, but their version is based on ActiveX, while everyone else used XMLHttpRequest. See here: http://www.w3schools.com/Ajax/ajax_browsers.asp

Good one :)

dude, take calculus.
So the guy was approaching the limit of 120mph. If that is the case he was never driving at 120mph ;)
1 light = 10 mph.
2 lights = 30 mph
8 lights = 100mph
I believe that is meant to be 3 lights? I have never seen a truck in Japan with more than three.
BTW Does anyone have a link to a site explaining these lights, or showing a photo of what we mean?

It probably wouldn't be so slow to be adopted if Intel managed to get all motherboard manufacturers, developing for Intel cips, to start using EFI with the BIOS backwards compatibility mode.
BTW Can EFI be used with non Intel chips?
I think this is a case of Sales guy vs web dude.
There are alternatives
Those are some and I also wonder if they couldn't just license the designs of the Ariane 5 or the Soyuz 2 rocket? They are both proven vehicles.
Another alternative would be to work the Russians to bring the Energia rocket back into use.

They're having a solar race... in Canada?
Between having to stay in igloos, endless darkness and putting on snow chains, it is going to be tough ;)
