  1. Re:Duh on 22 Million SSL Certificates In Use Are Invalid · · Score: 1

    So I host a server with 50 domains on one IP address, and 5 SSL sites each with there own IP address. Rather then having 6 IP's I share one of them with the same address as the virtual domains. So 50 sites when queried with HTTPS will show the wrong SSL cert, and if some of those virtual domains have wild card hostnames, the number is much higher.

    So I would bet the vast majority of the invalid certs are for the wrong host entirely. So for my example 2% are valid, and its only 50 hosts (excluding the other 4 SSL domains).

  2. Obvious on End Software Patents Project Comes Out Swinging · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't agree that software patents are a bad thing. However almost every time I think of an idea for software it turns out someone has patented it, so I don't bother writing anything.

    The problem is that a lot of them are obvious, and a patent isn't supposed to be obvious. Maybe it isn't obvious to someone who isn't a programmer. So, the problem is that too many software patents are obvious, not that software patents bad.

  3. Oh no on Will Internet TV Crash the Internet? · · Score: 1

    What will we do? Buy more Cisco routers!

  4. Laptops are more moveable on Carpal Tunnel- Laptops Better than Ergo Keyboards? · · Score: 1

    When I use my laptop I tend to have it at the right level/distance, having it rest on my lap seems to be the best. Most of the tables I've used (at coffee shops, etc) are just at the right level as well. Also most laptops have a place to rest your hands which isn't too soft or lumpy.

    Now when it comes to desktops, too often I find the keyboard too high to use (then I adjust the chair), and too close to the edge.

    It seems to me the keyboard shape is less important then where the keyboard is.

    Also, It seems I get more work done on laptops for several reasons, I don't seem to use my desktop anymore.

  5. Re:Don't confuse the cause for the effect on Everquest Connection Alleged In Child Death · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Normaly I would agree with this 100%, instead I mostly agree.

    In my experience playing everquest I found that the game requires you to spend an lot of time playing it to enjoy it. In other words the game is only good if your addicted.

    Although, the developers shouldn't be responsible for their users having difficulty with addiction to the game.

    I think the developers should make the game worth playing if you only have a few hours a week to play it.

  6. Re:bad bad bad on Dynamic Root Support For FreeBSD Now Available · · Score: 5, Informative

    Thats why the librarys are in /lib not /usr/lib

  7. Linux distro's already do this. on Dynamic Root Support For FreeBSD Now Available · · Score: -1, Troll

    The linux distros already do this. Why has it taken so long?

  8. Linux doesn't require more geeks. on Recommend Apple, Lose Your Job? · · Score: 1

    Linux only requires more geeks when the geeks don't know Linux.

    IT doesn't switch because they don't know anything other then what they are running.
