Yeah, it is actually crazy (and apparently sadly true) that you believe this kind of bullshit.
Oh wait, you were saying the thing you believe is actually true, not the fact that you believe it? Then why start with "I believe" and not "it is a fact"? Oh yeah, because it's just a belief after all--so don't fucking call it true. Because it's not.
...which could get tricky when it comes to checking whether the presented certificate has been revoked or not, because you're going to have to assume the certificate hasn't, in order to get the Internet access you need to actually check; and you're going to have to do that through my rogue AP.
It would seem safe at the first glance because both CRLs and OCSP responses are (mostly) signed by the issuing CA, but I could at least deny you access to either, so you can never know for sure.
OSCP-stapling the AP certificate could however work. Unless I'm overlooking someting, which I probably do. Anyway, you see, it gets hairy real fast.
That's bullshit. If a cert is "just a password in a file", how come I can (and have to) send you that file in order to authenticate against you? If I send you my password, I'm fucked; if I send you my cert, I'm not.
But since your understanding of X.509 is obviously crappy, I'm not convinced you're convinced yet, so let me put this in simpler terms: If a cert is a password in a file, and a cert is a data structure built around a public key, then what is the public key? Also a password in a file?
The closest to a "password in a file" would be the private key, but even that isn't really a good comparison, because you never transmit your private key anywhere, ever. Plus, even shitty private keys (1024 bits) are way stronger, entropy-wise, than a password so there's that, too.
Last but not least, it's commonplace to encrypt your private key. With a passphrase. So *there*'s your password, not the keys and not at all the cert. Geez.
Don't forget disconnecting from power and leaving it switched ON for an extended period
Or, you know, push the power button once and see the fans consuming what little remains in the capacitors so you don't have to wait for an extended period
There could be aliens out there now, but what interest would they have in us?
Uh, maybe the same interest we'd have in them? After all you're saying yourself it takes pretty special circumstances, so that's interesting by definition.
We are down right barbaric
Yeah, and only you are enlightened enough to realize this. And the aliens would know/see this without watching.

You're free to set zero transaction fee and it is still going to be confirmed. This will only change in ~100 years when transaction fees are the only reward for mining.
- Huge power requirements
I'm pretty sure all the banks in the world consume more power.
- painfully slow transactions
It's not that slow actually. Couple minutes - maybe a day, depending on whether you set (and if so how large) a transaction fee.
Now, on the pro side, it's decentralized. If that alone isn't reason enough, I don't know what is.
The only thing void about a void * is its type information. Addresses cannot be empty. You might be thinking of NULL, but even that isn't an empty address.

The irony in this is brilliant -- you're actually too stupid to realize that 110010001000 is the guy you're "arguing" with.
You' probably even think that he genuinely thinks you're a genius rather then openly mocking you. Oh boy.
Now, why don't you stop with your obnoxious ads? Wasn't one of your marketing points that your shitware removes ads? Does it remove your spammed ads on/.?
Wait what. Non-native speaker here. Can someone who is a native speaker confirm this, or confirm that AC is full of himself?
I've always used "couple" - except when using it as a substantive - to mean "a few". As in "give me a couple minutes will ya?". Feels incredibly wrong to use it to explicitly refer to 2 instances of whatever.

HTH
"Bug"? Yeah, me neither.
As for "hardcoded", I don't think the word means what you think it means.
What are you doing on /. if you cannot even tell the difference between a browser and a website.
Hmm, can a turing-complete language calculate SHA1 hashes? Inquiring minds want to know.
Why is that?
I copied the snabb to /c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Snapname but it doesn't work. Help?

Still works, no? Or how were you able to post this?

I think the "are a" shouldn't be part of the link.

programmed [...] in assembler
But you do program in compiler these days, right?
Does the accountant try to explain accounting?
I keep track of what money we spend and receive so the information is there when we need it.
Does the lawyer try to explain the law?
I try to find ways to disprove or prove that someone broke the law, which is codified in many books.
Why the FUCK are IT people expected to "explain" IT?
Why not? I make computers do the things they do.
Hasn't been a week since I last talked to someone on ICQ (from my IRC client via Bitlbee)
to hold a hardware memory address that is empty.
The only thing void about a void * is its type information. Addresses cannot be empty. You might be thinking of NULL, but even that isn't an empty address.
Nice try though, thanks for playing.
It's still dark if there's nothing around you to reflect and diffuse the light. Plus it's still dark if there's nothing to see at in the first place.

If this post is to be believed [slashdot.org], APK doesn't want people adding malware, building it, and distributing it
Since you seem to have a little reading comprehension issue, let me copypaste the question again:
What would stop someone from creating a malicious software and naming it APK Hosts File Engine 10++ 32/64-bit?
A couple means two. Period.
Wait what. Non-native speaker here. Can someone who is a native speaker confirm this, or confirm that AC is full of himself?

For you, probably. Everything's fine, go consume something.
