Exactly. As an end-user (businesses refer to you as a consumer), you expect that the website you are interacting with is who you *trust* them to be. And as the end-user, you expect that the reason you trust the site is because you have the lock showing in your browser, and you believe the SSL system is trustable.
Yet, as the end-user, what have you personally seen as evidence that the https protocol using SSL is really trustable?
Most people have seen nothing.
And yet, here someone says the government should be trustable?
You have to be out of your fucking mind to believe that the CA role should be managed (mis-managed) by government.
You can't trust government at *ANY* time, so why would this help fix the CA problem?
"Early this morning we were alerted by our customers that there was a widespread issue affecting our 2006 model Zune 30GB devices (a large number of which are still actively being used). The technical team jumped on the problem immediately and isolated the issue: a bug in the internal clock driver related to the way the device handles a leap year.
"That being the case, the issue should be resolved over the next 24 hours as the time change moves to January 1, 2009. We expect the internal clock on the Zune 30GB devices will automatically reset tomorrow (noon, GMT). By tomorrow you should allow the battery to fully run out of power before the unit can restart successfully then simply ensure that your device is recharged, then turn it back on.
A powerful digital certificate that can be used to forge the identity of any website on the internet is in the hands of in international band of security researchers, thanks to a sophisticated attack on the ailing MD5 hash algorithm, a slip-up by Verisign, and about 200 PlayStation 3s.
"We can impersonate Amazon.com and you won't notice," says David Molnar, a computer science PhD candidate at UC Berkeley. "The padlock will be there and everything will look like it's a perfectly ordinary certificate."
Not all cells accumulate damage at the same rate. Hence the role of sex. Reproduction occurs fast enough that the damage rate can not overwhelm the survival of a species.
Of course. Your attention span is the first thing to go
when you watch too much TV.
Your brain is overwhelmed with signal, but it can't
realize that it is all noise.
It is absolutely no surprise that a majority of
TV watchers are brain dead, clueless, and believe that
Faux noise is informative.
Just wait until early 2009 when HDTV really fucks with your head.

Please get a clue. Stop drinking the Microsoft Koolaid and learn the history. You can start with Mosaic.

And that is what was done.

RIAA is barking up the wrong tree.
Ya got a subpoena?
No? Then buzz off.
Please don't. Mars is already crowded and resources are scarce.
Of course not, you did not pay them enough, and besides, their little tractor was broken.
Yes.
When Microsoft has not come up with a fix for a problem they have been working on since April 2008, why expect a patch soon?

Sorry for the confusion.
I was referring to banks, as in a physical building. You know, with it's own vault, own records, and customers that live nearby.
You're correct if you are talking about Bank Holding Companies which is why we have the mess today.
There wasn't as many banks around back then either.
Today, there are plenty of banks, and way too many bankers.
Careful with the parsing.
You *are* programmed, by a more advanced form of life,
to not *want* to die.
That does not mean that you are programmed to avoid death
at the hands of a more advanced form of life.
In fact, you are programmed to die period, regardless of
your wishes, at the hands of the most simplest lifeforms.
Odds are that someone there accessed netsol from an
machine infected with a keylogger.
It was therefore likely caused by their own ineptitude
in using a windows machine for administration.
Yep. It really seems designed to wear out disk drives faster.
When the drive fails sooner than expected, it helps Windows sales.

There is no Vista over there.
Rovers - expected to die before Vista came out.
Vista - not only late but dead before the rovers die.
While vi became vim, this is a huge jump in functionality for Pico
fpdf -> (fsoftware) -> fhtml
