Even if different sites require different CAs, you don't need multiple private keys. You don't need to protect your multiple public certificates, so it's not an issue.
I don't need a BMW car, as my Chrysler meets my needs and wants. I don't want to spend twice as much for a BMW. I test drove a BMW once, and I liked the leather seats. I think it's a reasonable expectation that I can pay a little extra for a Chrysler with leather seats without having to buy a BMW.
I love OSX, but buying Apple computers is like buying a BMW just to get leather seats.
Same goes for most of the people I know, but I also know a cop:) that copies every DVD that he rents. He used to buy DVDs at $18 each, but now he basically buys DVDs at $3.50 each. I wonder how many others do the same.
This isn't effective either. Our admins lock us out of the registry tools, but I can still use them whenever I want. It's just more of a pain. And I have no special privs.
I work in a large AD environment (10s of 1000s of users), and the group policies are unreliable at best. We get several problem tickets per week of users whose browsers have missing proxy settings. And "locked down" is a bit of a misnomer as well. Any idiot with Notepad can create a.reg file to un-"lock down" most of the settings.
That said, the best I've found is to use SMS (another unreliable technology) or login scripts to set the various things in prefs.js. This kind of scripting is a little more difficult than the equivalent IE scripting, I suppose.
The difference is the kernel upgrade doesn't cost any money, whereas the processor upgrade does. Breaking the kernel compatibility is free (in theory), while breaking processor compatibility is going to cost development $$$.
Your point (#6) about bench pressing more than they think they can is interesting. I find it hard to believe that a former college football star had never bench-pressed 250 lbs. before. That's really not a lot of weight for someone who works out regularly. I'm a lot younger than the character, and I don't know much about how training was done back then. However, in my college days, all football players "max out" periodically, and as a result they know exactly how much they can bench. And it's usually quite a bit more than 250!
Greg Lyons Successfully Calculates Quadrillionth Binary Digit of Pi
by Matt Provinsano
Some math major (Colin Percival) broke a record for calculating the quadrillionth binary digit of pi. It is zero. He calculated it by using spare processing power of thousands of computers on the Internet. He used an algorithm that was developed by NASA and some of his math professors at Simon Fraser University.
This development proves conclusively that the same calculation done mentally by Greg Lyons months ago was correct.
"After I heard about That Guy's [Percival's] original record of calculating the 5 trillionth bit of pi, I knew I could do it better and faster," said Lyons, who classifies himself as an inquisitive computer hacker with interests in mathematics, music, and walnuts. "I decided right then and there that I would be the first to calculate the quadrillionth bit. After calculating mentally for several seconds, which is a really long time for me, I arrived at the answer of zero."
"I think Percival deserves some credit, having coordinated so many computers to calculate the answer, but I do believe my calculation was completed first," said Lyons. "I'm not bitter, though. I haven't met Percival, but I'm sure we have a relationship of mutual respect."
Lyons' calculation is not likely to be officially recognized, however, while Percival will get all the glory for this accomplishment. Officials reportedly did not accept Lyons' calculation for the record books simply because he did not show his work. According to Lyons' high school math teachers, this has always been his biggest weakness.
"Greg never showed any work on his Calculus tests," said Miss Koykar, a former math teacher at Winnebago High School, whose first name is actually Miss. "He nearly always got the right answer, but our policy is that if you don't write down the work, you must have copied the answer from someone else. Therefore, the answer is counted as wrong. If it wasn't for that, he would have often been the only student in class to correctly answer certain questions."
Lyons' wife also attempted the calculation mentally. She actually finished faster than her husband, but her answer was off by just one. "I guess I just rushed a little too much. I'm just too competitive," she explained.
Percival, the officials who keep the record books, and Conan O'Brien were not available for comment.

There is a reward if you can report a "pirate video lab" that consists of 30 or more VCRs at a single location. See http://www.mpaa.org/anti-piracy/contact/.

Just like every other non-profit organization. Moron.
I didn't realize that the NSA was researching on the behalf of the Canadian government.
