    No one cares what you are doing. No one.

    please remember this when posting your comments to slashdot. I care less about your comments about his post, then I care about his post. And to give you an idea of how much i care, plase read above.

  2. More money to bye a Computer on Report On The Texas Censorware Bill · · Score: 2

    Every unnecessary addition to preloaded systems just makes the system more expensive. This is the government taking more money out of our pockets, and putting it into the pockets of big companies, that step all over our rights, and whets more I haven't found a competent censorship software on the market yet!

  4. Re:Why do we need "certificates"? on Why Are SSL Certificates So Expensive? · · Score: 3

    Why do people prefer MasterCard, Visa, or AMEX? These are credit companies with history, and a somewhat good repulation. When I login to a secure site, and my brouser presents me with a cert, I like to see that Verisign or Thawte has "branded" that cert. While most slashdot users remember that https = secure, more "average" users just don't have a clue. Why Verisign? be cause they are the one that the masses know, and think that they trust.

    As to startig your own CA, i quote from Webopedia

    The role of the CA in this process is to guarantee that the individual granted the unique certificate is, in fact, who he or she claims to be. Usually, this means that the CA has an arrangement with a financial institution, such as a credit card company, which provides it with information to confirm an individual's claimed identity

    So, you have to have money and connections, but it is possable to start one, even outside the US, as proved by this artical that talks about a CA in asia. Again with references to close ties with financial institutions.

    Maybe there is hope, but it seams a pretty slim chance that just anybody can come up with code for encryption and then start selling them...

  5. Re:The real question is on Two Telescopes Linked To Find Planets · · Score: 1

    Truely, I think that the real question is more along the lines of can we run linux on it, or can we get houndreds of them and make a Beowulf cluster of them. If we can I want to order one... anybody got the number?

    Johnnyb,
    • Is it difficult to go from day to day without using your brain?
    • Why do you go to the trouble? You could always do something more creative. ...like die.
    • Nobody wants to here you bash slashdot. We love slashdot, or we wouldn't be here reading all the comments to any given artical. This includes you.
    • I guess what you got out of the artical is different that what I got out of it.

      "...and what can you do about it?"- is saying if you are a developer make you own browser. Not if you are using a browser check out these options to make your day more sunny.

    • I'm sorry to all the slashdotters that end up reading this rant. I know that these posts just take up screen real estate.

  15. A couple of reasons to stay on Where Should Company Loyalty End? · · Score: 1

    IMHO... You should stay. It is very important that you look out for your coworkers. I feel that it is important for you to stay so that they can continue thier carriers. Let them find a great job, THEN go and find the job of a life time.

    ****BUT!!!!, in the meantime please send me more information about those other jobs that you were looking at. ******

    I guess all in all I'll second the comment about the treadmill, although I've never ever seen anybody that is willing to eat at TacoBell gag on anything... I mean after all, look what they are putting in there mouth. Have a nice day and remember to the extra sour cream and gummie bears...

  17. Good Luck on Open Source Billing Solutions? · · Score: 1

    I hope that you know your stuff as far as security. If the code is open source, then everybody knows your database schema. An open source POS/Billing package, would be great on a system that isn't connected to the internet. Good luck
