  3. Re:Unavoidable with devices on Firefox SSL-Certificate Debate Rages On · · Score: 1

    Just make sure whoever the cheapest is, has been included as a trusted authority in firefox and windows.... Am remembering a problem we had many years ago when one of our idiots, I mean managers went with Thawte, cuz they were the cheapest. Turns out they were not listed in windows trusted authorities, boy the number of calls we got.

    Known by who? Did a jury convict them?

  5. Re:The Value(s) of a Gold Medal on Hacker Uncovers Chinese Olympic Fraud · · Score: 1

    I find that when I start a 100 meter dash a minute before everyone else I usually win. The rule that says all contestants have to start at the same time, is a bad rule, therefore I feel free to ignore it. Does that sound like a reasonable statement to you? Athletic competitions have rules, that is their very nature, these rules are created so that there is a level playing field for all the qualified athletes. By competing in the event, you implicitly agree to follow the rules, and accept penalties should you not do so. I have no knowledge of the process, but there may even be a explicit agreement as well between the IOC and individual countries. If they really think the rule is bad, they should have made an issue of it in public, before the event. They did not do that, therefore they were trying to cheat.

  6. Re:Why do the even HAVE tickets? on Craigslist Forced To Reveal a Seller's Identity · · Score: 1

    It is a good thing celebrities can get in without any hurdles, Tom Cruise is probably too short to jump them.

  7. Offtopic on SF Admin Gives Up Keys To Hijacked City Network · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering about your sig. What exactly is your problem with people electing their senators directly as opposed to the state legislature doing so? Now if you were talking about the 16th Ammendment, I would probably be all for it.

  9. Re:I have nothing useful to contribute, other than on Neal Stephenson's "Anathem" Due In September · · Score: 1

    What did it for me was 20 hours in various airports over the course of a week and a half. Having spent the money I trudged through it, and started to like it about 2/3's of the way through. AFter that "The confusion" and "System of the world" were bonus.

  10. Re:Why can't he sell it back? on Switching To Solar Power – One Month Later · · Score: 1

    Agreed, if it is summer and he is producing electricity in the afternoon and using it in the later evening, they should be paying him more, as peak usage hours are (depending on location and date and weather) from noon to 8 ish.

  14. Re:Test your patches on RHN Bind Update Brings Down RHEL Named · · Score: 1

    I'll put this more politely than I did in an above post, but, at the very least people should be able to test by dual booting their own machine with their production OS and testing things like, what happens to my zone files when I run this patch. If they can't be bothered to do that, they shouldn't whine about getting screwed over.

  15. Re:You didn't test before deploying an update? on RHN Bind Update Brings Down RHEL Named · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You mean to tell me you don't even have an old desktop machine sitting around with RHEL on it to "play" with? Come on, pull the other leg. Or maybe find a new line of work. Not being able to afford non production servers and test lab is one thing, but not taking the old computer you replaced on the secretaries desk and using that to do some basic testing for mission critical updates is ridiculous. Or hell, just dual boot your machine if it comes to that. You have to do SOME testing of SOME things.
