  1. CRL, OCSP and PKIX on Does Your Company Use a PKI Solution? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Regarding the use of the CRL distribution point extension, a URI that points to a DNS alias can help alleviate the risk.

    "OSPF" was likely a botched reference to OCSP (Online Certificate Status Protocol), defined in RFC 2560.

    Finally, read the PKIX spec on certificate management, RFC 3280. It will give you a much more detailed understanding of how PKI should work than any vendor docs. This level of understanding is critical if you start playing the role of CA.

    If you do your homework, and understand how things work, OpenSSL is an adequate tool.

  2. Re:Nice, but I feel like it's hopeless... on National TV Turn Off Week · · Score: 2, Informative

    Temperance is something geeks end up having to learn in order to work with the rest of society.

    Temperance refers to avoiding excess and is often used with respect to drinking and other vices, though is not limited to them. I think you meant tolerance.

    Did you here about the new pirate movie?

    It's rated AArghh!

    Sigh...it never gets old.

  4. Re:The Vorbis Way on Ogg Vorbis 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Interesting that my submission has caused such a flurry of activity. I submitted the release story because I went to the web site this morning and it said 1.0 was out.

    Perhaps someone should have had the foresight to hold off on updating the website until it was "released." Since the website was updated, the comments like "we didn't announce it" are pretty hollow.

  5. SAIC SIAC on NYSE Goes To Linux · · Score: 1

    SIAC is what you meant.

  6. No Media Coverage? on Earth to Media: This kid is still in jail · · Score: 1

    The NY Times ran an editorial on Sklyarov yesterday. This paper gets huge readership. What's more, the section of this post about Felton seem to be taken directly from this editorial. Shame on you JonKatz....plagiarism in an article about copyright.

  7. Usefulness on Pentium Throws a Fastball · · Score: 1

    The article makes an excellent point that mlb batters used it for two pitches more than any others. It seems that for this machine to be a useful training device it would have to behave more like a real pitcher. Evaluate the batter and control its own pitch selection within some predefined bounds.

    That would be interesting AI programming.
