Wrong. If a bill comes up that says "NASA, you must stop spending on this project" one senator can put a hold on the bill, preventing any further action until the senator removes said hold.
This is probably aimed more at bad sysadmins, the kind who'd run an ancient version of Apache that still allows SSL 2.0 with a 40-bit cipher if they could get away with it, the idea presumably being to have their users complain and get them to fix their shit so it's actually secure and not pretend secure.
Besides, we all know those users who will simply rote-learn how to click past the annoying prompt without reading it, and there are a lot more of them than there are aspies running a crappy outdated router firmware. If it really bothers him, I'd wager there's an about:config setting somewhere.
DD-WRT needs to fix their shit and generate a better SSL certificate, or you should quit pretending that a 512-bit cert is going to stop anything besides a nosy neighbor and use a wired connection with unencrypted HTTP to manage your router. I'm running Tomato Firmware with a self-signed 1024-bit cert (which is itself weak) over TLS 1.0 and Firefox 34 works just fine.
Mozilla's doing the Right Thing by blocking such a pathetically weak certificate.
There almost certainly will be. It's normal for Mint to release Cinnamon and MATE builds first and follow up with KDE and Xfce versions a few weeks later.
You see a lot of that on some websites when hot-button issues like climate change are discussed. For example, on Ars Technica there are almost always brand-new accounts posting the same old denier crap on every AGW thread; most likely a popular nut site like Drudge or WND will post a link, or someone in their forums.
They really weren't. In the early to mid '90s it was common for computer monitors to be advertised as 15" or 17" (that being the tube's size) but thanks to bezels being bigger or smaller they weren't really comparable. Around the mid '90s Congress passed a law (remember when that used to happen?) requiring that CRT mfrs disclose the exact diagonal measurement instead, so you'd have "17-inch" monitors advertised as having e.g. a 15.9" diagonal.
They did the same thing with Internet Explorer 10: in the "old" of the Registry IE10's version is 9.10.9200.17116, and in the "new" part it's 10.0.9200.17116.
We track that with the registry because our tool (OCS Inventory-NG) can pull any old thing from there but we'd have to change the source code to use an API and it doesn't track that by default.
They've done it before. For example, Word for Windows: it went 1.0, 2.0, and then 6.0 because Microsoft wanted all the Office programs to have the same version, and Excel happened to have the highest version number. Another example is Windows itself: Windows NT went straight to 3.1 for the original (1.0) release because that's where the DOS-based consumer Windows was.
It's not unheard-of from their competitors either.
There's really no significance to this story other than a psychologically-important number increment.

Came here expecting fart jokes, disappointed as expected.

X.org started from a fork of XFree86, so it wouldn't make any difference.
Whoosh!

If it bothers you that much, then figure out how to generate a decent certificate yourself and have your router use it instead.
It's that button with three horizontal lines.

How about you file a bug report instead of complaining here, where the maintainer's unlikely to see it?
Flying is certainly an option if you can afford it.
If you're running Mint 17 now, the release notes say to wait a few more days until they release an updated upgrade manager.
Gratuitous bolding is often a sign of mental illness.
Who are the ohneeders?
Sponsored links at the bottom of the page a la Buzzfeed, special deals, a marketing poll, Flash ads out the wazoo.
Fuck Dice.
LET THERE BE LIGHT.
Firefox could implement Pepper but they've chosen not to. You're probably never going to get IE to support any open plugin standard.
Talk won't be fixed. It's been deprecated in favor of Hangouts.

the OEMs will use GG4's extra strength to make their phones 0.2mm thinner instead, because thin is more important than strength or battery life.
Really? Whenever did they make a bezelless TV?

That's rich. You act like you know what you're talking about, but you seem to be completely unaware of the Salyut program, likewise Skylab.
