Phishing attacks are prevented by Extended Validation.
No they're not. If you look at phishing stats before and after EV certs were introduced, there was zero change. Well, it actually got worse, but that's because it's been getting worse for years. The rate of change was a straight line, there wasn't even a noticeable bump brought about by EV certs.
What you actually should have said was:
CA revenue problems are prevented by Extended Validation certificates.
Yeah, that puzzled me too. As far as I could see they were stuck with that license forever, I can understand that they can change the license for contributions but not for the original code.
Parent link (http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=149028593819547) is highly informative.
"Informative" in the sense that it shows Theo acting within character? He never says what his problem with the change is, just "I don't like it". I'm an OpenSSL contributor and I've OK'd the change, it's long past time they updated the license from that awkward not-really-BSD one to something more standard.
P.S. Additional tip: when you can foresee that the protest you attend is going to be pushed back with such devices, always bring a battery powered perforator drill and steel pipe of sufficient quantity.
Either that or tool up with an AssBlaster or Dildozer, which would see this woosy thing off no problems, as long as Beef Supreme is driving it.
+1. To get hired at Google, you have to be smart enough to get through the tests but not smart enough to know that what you're working on has already been looked at by two dozen other people at different times and there's a pretty good solution already available. Instead, you get to reinvent the wheel yourself from scratch, but yours is going to be bigger, better, faster, newer, and web scale, because you're Google. I declined to work there, it would have driven me nuts to work in such an environment.
Why The US Senate's Vote To Throw Out ISP Privacy Laws Isn't All Bad
Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your vote here is only MOSTLY bad. There's a big difference between mostly bad and all bad. Mostly bad is slightly good. With all bad, well, with all bad there's usually only one thing you can do. Go back to debating healthcare reform with Miracle Trump. And remember, you rush a Miracle Trump, you get rotten miracles.
If they're going for that level of surveillance, why don't they just use paid or coerced informants like the Gestapo, KGB, and Stasi used? It'd be much cheaper and less effort to run.
"Tell me what a class invariant is."
Blank stare.

Prove that every even number > 2 can be expressed as the sum of 2 primes
Empty look.
Show that the Riemann zeta function has its zeros only at the negative even integers and complex numbers with real part 1/2.
Panicked expression.
Demonstrate that If k graphs each having k vertices have the property that every pair of complete graphs has at most one shared vertex then the union of the graphs can be colored with k colours.
In any case it's nowhere near the world's largest artificial sun. That record is claimed by the one the Russians lit up over Novaya Zemlya in October 1961.
It's not the use of programming languages, it's use of completely inappropriate, daily-WTF-worthy, algorithms and mechanisms. We do development that involves interfacing with various libraries and components provided by third parties, and holy fsck, it's a wonder some of this stuff works at all, let alone inefficiently. You look at some of the duct-taped-together crap that we have to deal with and in some cases literally can't see why what they're doing works, it's pure coincidence that the way they're using the APIs happen to produce an actual result rather than an error code or a hang.
Dammit, that means Chromefox will lose them too. I don't really care what Chrome does since I only use it for printing, but everything they do ends up being done to Chromefox as well.
Why not use autonomous ships on the dangerous passage instead? Autonomous ships are expected in the next few years, even before autonomous cars.
Only by people who are living in technology la-la land like the authors of the cited article. They're proposing transoceanic cargo vessels with no crew, because as everyone knows the only thing the crew needs to do is click OK for a mid-Atlantic course correction and the rest of the time they're sitting around doing nothing, since a ship runs itself and deals with every eventuality automatically.
Looks for the Gall-Peters Projection to be replaced by the Trump Projection, which makes it clear that North America is the most yuge. It's true. You'll love it.
Bixby? Nahh, yer want Begbie! "Well, this is a good fucking laugh, ain't it? You delete that email shite out of your system. 'Cause if I come back and it's still here... I'll fucking kick it out".
Here's what I was thinking of... the biggest, hugest correctional vehicle ever built in history... bigger than the Dildozer, bigger than the Ass Blaster... bigger than Donald Trump's hands... bigger and huger than everything ever before in history... it's the US Army's Laser Anal Intruder.

Right, and neither of the two original license holders, Eric Young or Tim Hudson, have given consent to the change AFAIK.

There are lots of dups in there. So far I've received four different requests to OK the license change under different IDs.
Of course it won't happen. What's the likelihood that all 400 are still alive and mentally competent after a couple of decades?
Have you ever read the OpenSSL code? I don't think lack of mental competency has ever stopped anyone from contributing in the past.
It depends, I guess they could if they could find enough monkeys who can type.
Yeah, that puzzled me too. As far as I could see they were stuck with that license forever, I can understand that they can change the license for contributions but not for the original code.
Some of the contributors are upset

I don't think anyone would run something as sensitive as an ATM on Windows.
No true Scotsman would run Windows on an ATM!

If you make people jump through hoops like circus animals to come work at your company
They jump through hadoops, not hoops. That's how they show they're qualified to work with it.

Sigh, kids these days...
I quit using almost two decades ago.
So did it, ever since methadone became readily available. But I think we were talking about eBay.
Would it change your opinion to find out that this is about the CSIR in India, not CSIRO in Australia?

Liability is with the owner, because that's common fucking sense.
The owner is, and remains, John Deere. The farmer is renting it, and agreeing to pay its bills.

For those who don't speak Norwegian, I've had the story translated into approximate Swedish as follows:

Not sure where all the sheep references came from, my translator is from Alingsås.
