Do it the same way it's done now.
You have big com's selling 'em (VeriSign for example)
and people giving them away for free.
thawte.
Thawte is great, it'll give you a DigitalID/Personal Certificate thing for free, but it comes with the name of "Thawte Free User".
You then earn "points", and when you have 50 (i think) you can have your name instead of "TFU".
You get points by going to see other members who have got over 100 points, and then show 'em your ID (passport/drivers lience/etc) and they award up 10 points.
This way you can have an "ignore free members" option aswell, insuring that all posters can be traced, or ignored.
you should try S/MIME (assuming your client & server supports it). I find it better then PGP, it uses an attachment instead of big lumps of text at the top and bottom of the msg, and it supported in most major clients.
The big problem I have with 'em is the fact it sticks a big lump at the top of your email. If it "signed" just as a.sig (i.e. at the bottom of the email) I'd use it much more.
Java has a security layer.
In a webbrowser, it only has access to a few fuctions, which don't include access to the file system.
However, you could rap it up in a.jar, and hope for stupid users that double click, or (in the case of UNIX-like systems) run anything they are sent, i.e. it would still end up being an MS problem, maybe a few Mac's would be effected to and a VERY SMALL amount of UNIX boxes.
you could of recycled 'em AFTER throwing 'em of the roof...
I think thats the reason Be Inc failed, if a video of 14 monitors flying of the roof was included in BeOS r5PRO I think many many more copys would of been sold.
you can go buy a 2-4 button + wheel, and it'll work, even buttons 3 and 4 (forward & backward in browsers, I'm told they are usefull, I dont belive it thou.)

Then the MSCE'ed tech guy from the other persons camp will come up with the MS data. Who will Joe Doe beleive. I vote MS.
invented the car
The car was invented in the UK, by a farmer who saw no use for it?!?
It was later reinvented by someone in Germany (I think).
Brits can be a bit daft like this, very much "Ohh thats cool, but no one would actual want to use it!
the full copy only really included Real Player, most of the other stuff (MP3 encoded for example) you could get of BeBits.
Or, you could wait a bit, and get OpenBeOS or BlueOS. The latter of which is based on Linux.

Hmm, BeOS with Gobe would of been great here[1].

a) Be Inc was alive/OpenBeOS had a little more time
b) The Browser Situaltion was looked after
c) BeOS had a better locale kit

IMO the GNU System trays are normally pants.

However I'll have to look at the plug-in for OE.

I have a PGP key (search for "Micheal Lloyd Lee" on the pgp key servers), and a S/Mime thingy.
I only really ever use the S/Mime thingy, and then only ever to sign email[1]. I don't think I ever recived or sent an encripted email.

no I came to BeOS at r3.1, ohh please please post a link...

Still assming they know about (and/or care about) EM.

Nope, your best bet is to fire a Nuke at every planet we can find. Have a very clever cluster bomb nuke the word

What I'm really worried about is what if we've just sent "Ya mam stinks" in Alien?

the new design of Mac's (both OS, and box) is, imo, going for x-UNIX users, and, well I'm sold (on the TiBook, the FiMac is ugly).

It looks like apple took the incredibly sexy fake Apple Sphere, then made it look pants.
Go on Apple, release the Sphere please, I'd buy it!
