I think a large part of why more people don't use HTTPS is because a:, the certificate problem, and b:, the fact you can't use named based virtual hosts if you do.
One of the things I'd miss if I left the UK. Channel 4 is the other, although they're both not half as good as they were. Oh, and snooker, and cricket.
A good way to reduce the possibility of malware affecting you in Linux is to run your browser as another user. It's easy to set-up, almost pain free, and means that, barring local root exploits, it can't delete/alter your data, modify your login scripts etc.
I'm sure it's possible to do in Windows - runas firefox.exe - but I haven't tried it.

I've had an XP install going for more than four years I'd guess that it's corrupted media - it shouldn't take that long. Get a new CD, and try again.
I've never got why people want to run a webserver on their home computer over a cheap cable/dsl connection
Then you're not the person to offer opinions on it.
Software versions? Diskspace? are just two off the top of my head.
At least as another user.
"Those who don't understand Unix are doomed to reinvent it - poorly."
Someone clever said that quite a few years ago now.
Yep. Sure, he wasn't there for a holiday, but he could have kept his chin up, and made a go of it? :)
Massachusetts Institute of....?
Oh, I give up.
So long as your selection method for the bytes was sufficiently arbitrary
As long as it was fairly random, one might say...
You see the problem?
The Gulag Archipelago
I started reading that. What a miserable book. The guy would have been better off shooting himself.
"If you're writing skills are that bad" Not bad. 8/10.
Perhaps it's news to those of us that don't hang out with Google employees, or attend their Developer Days, or subscribe to "The Google Times".
What you really wanted to say was: "Oooh, look at me - I'm so l33t that I heard about this in May. Give me your cred points now."
Yes, using Nicotine to cure some diseases seems to me like prescribing Heroin to cure depression. Sure, it'll do it - but it'll leave you addicted.
