There are indeed various instances where ID verification isn't needed. I can't think of any though where encryption IS needed and ID verification isn't. How do you know you're sending your sensitive data to the right server?
I think his definition of unprofessional webhosters probably means those who don't understand what the "extortionate fees charged by the corporate CAs" buys you and why Firefox is doing the right thing here, regardless of the inconvenience to small sites trying to save a buck.
NO ONE uses SSL strictly for encryption on the client side, which is what's being discussed here. Firefox is exhibiting a perfectly reasonable behavior for a client that is supposed to provide encryption and ID verification.
This entire discussion is just noise from admins of sites that use self signed certs and are tired of getting "site is down" complaints from confused users. Yes it's annoying but it's plain that Firefox's behavior in this instance is correct.
And the reason for those laws (that discriminate against homosexual couples) is that homosexual couples will not breed
That's simply not true. The reason is bigotry. Plain and simple. The push to deny gays and lesbians these rights is coming from conservatives who are disgusted by homosexuality itself, not from businesses or people who are worried about birth rate decreases as a result.
Government bureaucrats are the ones responsible for the current mass slaughter in Iraq,
You're confusing the bureaucracy with the leadership. Blaming bureacrats for Iraq is akin to blaming a gun for a murder. Rag on the federal bureaucracy all you want, it's definitely not perfect, but wars are started by politicians and businessmen, not bureaucrats.
I can imagine hundreds of Slashdot readers surreptiously sniffing their CD-Rs at work, little knowing that their bosses have just stepped up behind them.
boss: What the hell are you doing?!?!
SDR: Ummm..Err..Uh..Quality control.
boss: Oh...Very well. Carry on then.
Disney doesn't give them (Congress) much wiggle room since it (Disney) assigns Congress the task to regulate copyrights to their (Disney's) heart's desire.
Seriously though, do you really think "the people" had anything to do with copyright being extended?
Representative democracy in the US hasn't been very "representative" of most people since before WWII.
I don't know a lot about Macs but I did find this post on a MacNet bulletin board when I was looking for some info on 802.11b, maybe this would fix your airport card problem if you use a tibook.
Making this quick, I just got off the phone with Apple tech support. I called to ask if there's anything I can do to improve my Ti's Airport range. After some questions about distance and interference like microwaves, cordless phones, and walls, the tech told me to shut down my powerbook and flip it over.
I was next instructed to eject the battery and look at the right side wall of the battery compartment where I was supposed to find an approximately 5 cm long plastic strip. (My particular powerbook doesn't have this visible -- instead, there is a plate with the serial number, etc...) Still, he told me to firmly press the side wall of the powerbook against the frame, just slowly and firmly pressing along its length several times for about 10 seconds. Next, he told me to replace the battery and start her back up.
I can't believe it, but my Airport's range is now like my iBook's!! I never could have done this from out here by the pool before, but here I am.
They are the same ones who will eventually fail out of school or at best graduate having learned nothing and end up in the food service industry
It's truly moving to see a professor take such an interest in her students that she would take the time to investigate where some of her poorer performing students wound up after they graduated.
Kudos to you for your continued involvement in the lives of your students.
P.S. Physics, Math and the history of the Peloponnesian War are actually all quite interesting. Like any other interesting subject, they can be made boring by incompetent instructors.

But that is all many of us need or use it for

Astroturfers? Do you really believe that Microsoft pays people to post on Slashdot?
I've heard this bandied about quite a bit. I don't buy it.

As opposed to the current hell where 50 people reach for their phones when one of them plays "Get Your Freak On"
ask and you shall receive...something other than what you asked for. :)
That Belkin recorder looks suspiciously external.
How the hell would you know that?
Umm...
I don't know a whole lot about audio en/decoding, but aren't you leaving out 1 generation of loss?
Specifically, the loss that occured when Apple ripped these songs to AAC from whatever they rip from? (CD?)
Congratulations!
You have no sense of humor!
If this discovery means there is a risk of destruction of the remaining shuttles that cannot be mitigated, then that is very very "not good"
Hey..Cool Sig. :)

Those are bold words sir.
I really hope you don't live in my area.
Yes, just create a new folder in the personal toolbar folder.
And vice-versa. If I recall correctly, Elvis Costello wrote code before he hit it big.
This post is funny.
Are you kidding? That cameo rocked. Old School!
Nice try.

Maybe your info is a little out of date. The Hitachi CML174 has a response time of 16ms.
Your mom?
ha, ha..
just kidding
