Some browsers (MSIE for Mac is one) don't make it clear that the "problem" is just an untrusted CA. They bring up a vague "A secure connection could not be established" dialog, usually with some alarmist "Warning! What you send could be read in transit!!" warning to boot.
But Schulze-Makuch points out that there is chemical evidence that Venus was once cooler and had oceans. "Life could have started there and retreated to stable niches once the runaway greenhouse effect began," he says.
Not valid code. FONT and B must be inside block-level tags, otherwise some browsers will ignore them. That may work with P tags (old browsers and their annoying exceptions), but try doing that with a TABLE inside the FONT.
"... why do you need to run VBScript or Win32 binaries?"
The, um, viruses are PC executables. Hence they won't run on Amiga, and that's what he meant by "incompatibility." Not that you couldn't "use the Internet," just that PC viruses won't run on your computer.
He means "incompatibility" as in Amiga can't run VBScript or compiled Win32 binaries. So that "annakournikova.jpg.exe" that you just received can't actually run on your machine. And Amiga mail clients aren't Outlook (duh?) so they don't have all the buffer overflows that Outlook has.

Browser behaviour is (or should be) determined by the !DOCTYPE element in an HTML document. What they mean is that if a page has an XHTML/2.0 doctype, it will not support all the cruft that was left in XHTML/1.0 and 1.1 (left in for the purposes of backward compatibility).
If a page doctype claims the page is HTML/4.0 or HTML/3.2, then none of these new rules should apply.
Anyone to whom the binaries are distributed must receive the source code, without restrictions. The beta people have received binaries, and thus must be able to A) receive the source and B) cannot be bound by any contract that prevents them from giving said source code to anyone they choose to.
Where did Michael say he was a Democrat? There are, in the bloody U.S., other parties besides D. and R. The most well-known "third parties" are the Greens (Ralph Nader), Libertarians (Harry Browne), and the Reform Party (Ross Perot). There are also more radical parties like the Natural Law party, Communists, Socialists, various religious-based parties, etc.
I've never seen Michael identify with any political party, but a lot of people around here seem quite jaded with the two-party duopoly and often vote for one of the above-mentioned "third" parties. So, considering this, if we're going to try and guess Michael's affiliation from his "usual fare" (whatever that is, I don't go around profiling Slashdot editors), I'd guess he would be a Green, not a Democrat. In fact, I'm quite sure a lot of Slashdot types are anti-Democrat considering that Fritz Hollings (Mr. SSSCA) is a Democrat, the Democrats are responsible for the DMCA (passed under Clinton), etc.
Oh, and I'm from the U.S., although probably not for much longer. Now, please proceed to impress me further by telling me to "love it or leave it.":)
I do? Ah, you're one of those pinheaded Americans that think there's only Republican, or Democrat. "With us or against us," eh?

"Making money" doesn't mean "squeezing every person who glimpses it for as much as possible." As long as someone can earn back more than they spent making a product, they're "making money."

"It is written in a language of which no other example is known to exist. It is an alphabetic script, but of an alphabet variously reckoned to have from nineteen to twenty-eight letters, none of which bear any relationship to any English or European letter system."
The alphabet looks rather obviously European-based. First off, much of what I can make out, looks vaguely reminiscent of letters like g, d, m, n, w, and a.
Secondly, that 3-like character near the end of the first line that sticks out like a sore thumb. Around the time this book was written, that character was a part of many northern European languages, including old English. I believe it stood for a/th/ sound, although I may be confusing that with the eth and thorn characters (other archaic northern European characters which still survive in Icelandic and a few other places).
The very first character (which you can see in several places throughout) also caught my eye. It looks like a slightly-modified version of the "feature key" you see on Apple keyboards, which is a symbol of Viking origin.
Of course if someone snarfs the/etc/passwd file, they can just brute-force the passwords on their own machine with a 5-line Perl script employing crypt(...).

No. Why should we be serious about a government that is a fucking joke to begin with?

There's already one out there that's designed (almost entirely) with these kinds of attacks in mind.

Are the thousands of floodbots that have been invading channels on DALnet for the past year or two good enough prior art?
Hah! The same prudes that push for censorship are more likely than not to be the same kind that call science "blasphemy."
