What these kinds of games need are noob-friendly servers. Sure, you'll get the griefers joining to point and laugh at the noobs, but that's when the autobalance algorithm kicks in and makes sure that the teams remain evenly griefed.
They show on page 69 how it looks once they substitute a lock image for the favicon (if they had wanted to be Extra Evil, they'd have given their fake favicon a blue background, which would have made firefox 3 look exactly like it was SSL protected, except for the S missing in the URL)
They then proceed to show how allowing unicode in the hostname continues to confuse and confound people. Register a cert for *.foo.com, then set up a hostname of www.google.com[unicodeslashlike]login[unicodeslashlike]blah[unicodeslashlike]blah[unicodeslashlike]blah.foo.com and presto, you have a valid certificate for a site that looks more or less like https://www.google.com/login/blah/blah/blah.foo.com, except that it's not hosted by google.
Basically all of these are attacks on the end user, what you do or don't do on the server won't change a thing.
So I would think if the case was worth trying or pressing charges, then the crime did happen.
Prosecutors can be full of shit too. It was only recently that the Supreme Court ruled that if a prosecutor had evidence proving that the victim of their railroading was innocent, they had to turn it over to their defense. Not drop the case, just turn over the evidence.
Or, are most users these days actually unable to tell the difference between SUIT and SUITE?
With the judge throwing 5000 kids in the slammer on their parents' dimes for his own profit, the lawyers were not going to fit everyone into a single or even a double, so they had to get a suite to be sure they had enough space.

What's with you and your hardon for conspiracies, anyway? All it takes is one of those employees to hide the tapes. All it takes is one employee with access to the no-fly list to make your next flight miserable.
I think the AC wins this argument though. Missing CCTV tapes that mysteriously appear and contradict the cops' testimony after the cops claimed that they never existed in the first place? Even the b-grade crew couldn't make this shit up, Agent Smith.
If your software doesn't understand the local convention so as to make the correct adjustment, then it doesn't matter if you store "local" or "global" time, it's still wrong.
The point is that you don't "adjust" the time at all when you're dealing with the "local convention". If the daylight saving time boundary moves, the dentist will not go through all of their appointments and tell them that they've been rescheduled by an hour because DST started earlier/later than they had expected. Your appointment is still at 3PM, no adjustment is needed.
Furthermore, if you use an external library for conversion (for instance, libc) then there is a serious risk that the library is updated to the new conversion factor before your users have a chance to run your script to "re-adjust" all of the appointments made under the old conversion factor, leading to some appointments being right and some being wrong, with no clear indication of which.
In fact, when communicating across time zones, using the originator's local time and timezone for future dates is preferable: if part of the world revises their DST and another part does not, then a conversion under the old rules between the two time zones might be wrong but there's no way for the receiving computer to know that.
For dates on disk or in log files, then a standard date such as UTC is perfectly fine, after all, it's not like the government is going to go back and retroactively change the start/end of DST... right?
But future events... if I store an appointment in GMT, and the government declares that the conversion factor will be different by 30 minutes, then I've got to go back through every stored appointment and revise them, before I allow anyone to add any new ones to the system. Especially on a Unix system, where timezone data is usually centrally administered and was automatically apt-got weeks ago before anyone thought about running the script that changes all the appointment times by 30 minutes.
Any sufficiently enterprisey encryption system would have a site-wide "master key" entrusted to whatever IT staff is responsible for rescuing people from forgetting their key.
Exactly. That's why all programs should store and communicate future date/times in local time format (with the local timezone) and use GMT only for the current time or past events, because nobody knows when the government is going to come along and redefine time. Your 3PM appointment at the dentist is at 3PM regardless of how many leap seconds get inserted or if its decided that this year, daylight saving time will only shift by 30 minutes, or whatever other crisis may come.

Why would the judge get kickbacks for jailing juveniles (or others)?
Because apparently in PA, these prisons have the right to bill the family for the cost of imprisonment, according to this AC.
So I would think if the case was worth trying or pressing charges, then the crime did happen.

bceause the "gubmint" is in a conspiracy to frame you
Uh, after enough police scandals, prosecutors knowingly prosecuting innocent people (withholding exculpatory evidence showing that the person did not commit the crime) and D.A.s declaring that they only believe in DNA evidence when it claims a man is guilty but not when it shows that the accused was either of the two men who raped a woman... I think its fair to say that the people in government are more than happy to frame anyone they wish.
Keeping with the theme, it should be the third or fourth chapter ;)

when events happened
That's what I said, past events and the current time should be stored in GMT (or GPS or whatever the hell standard you want to use).
But future events... if I store an appointment in GMT, and the government declares that the conversion factor will be different by 30 minutes, then I've got to go back through every stored appointment and revise them, before I allow anyone to add any new ones to the system. Especially on a Unix system, where timezone data is usually centrally administered and was automatically apt-got weeks ago before anyone thought about running the script that changes all the appointment times by 30 minutes.

How is swiping your license different than them carding you?
The bouncer at the door has better things to do than memorize every license that he comes across. The computer has nothing better to do.
If you like setting up video transcoding from the command line, more power to you, I guess!
If you like having someone else's GUI dictate what options you're permitted to use, less power to you, I guess! ;)
