Ok, I'm game. What's been implemented post-9/11 that's made us more secure?
I agree with Bruce Schneier on this: "Only two things have made flying safer [since 9/11]: the reinforcement of cockpit doors, and the fact that passengers know now to resist hijackers."
To make stupid people feel more secure by appearing to do something.
Sadly, most people confuse "activity" with "progress".
Using the same logic, many people can do away with a car altogether: bike/walk for local errands, rent a car a few days a month (perhaps using a service like Zipcar) when a car is really needed.
...you just made my choice a little easier. I'm a happy Vonage customer, and I'm also in the market for a new cellular provider. I can now scratch Verizon off the short list.

It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black. -- Nigel Tufnel
By default, IE allows only two outstanding connections per hostname when talking to HTTP/1.1 servers or eight-ish outstanding connections total. Firefox has similar limits.
And:
If your users regularly load a dozen or more uncached or uncachable objects per page load, consider evenly spreading those objects over four hostnames. Due to browser oddness, this usually means your users can have 4x as many outstanding connections to you.
From RFC 2616, section 8.1.4:
Clients that use persistent connections SHOULD limit the number of simultaneous connections that they maintain to
a given server. A single-user client SHOULD NOT maintain more than 2 connections with any server or proxy.
It's not a browser quirk, it's specified behavior.
FWIW (not much) I usually buy one copy of OpenBSD whenever a new version is released, if for no other reason than to support OpenSSL development. You may not be an OpenBSD fan, but if you're running Linux, you're probably also running OpenBSD-derived software.
Could you, for the purposes of certification, take ownership of the libraries you want to use? By "take ownership" I mean either a) acquire, or b) create the necessary design documents for the libraries, then code review them as you would your own code.
Years ago, I spoke with a repair tech at a local repair shop. He told me about a problem with Apple II machines that exhibited very specific symptoms. A customer would call him, describe the problem, bring the computer to his shop, and the machine would suddenly work perfectly. The actual problem was a loose connector (or expansion card, I don't remember) and the simple act of putting the machine in the car and driving to the shop was enough to reseat it and correct the problem.
He was eventually able to recognize the problem over the phone. He would tell the customer that the computer was lonely, and should be taken for a ride around the block. It worked almost every time.

Maybe they meant "...almost own 12 patents..."
Maybe they did, but their "smiley face" looks like a random collection of stars to us.
At this point, could using any form of on-the-wire encryption be considered a "circumvention device" and therefore illegal under the DMCA?

Until, of course, they change the rules again.

I fixed that for your.
Just close your applications, then turn the machine off. With modern transaction-oriented filesystems, you're highly unlikely to lose anything.
