What? "Snakeoil Inc" doesn't inspire you with buyers confidence? Right. Me neither.
As a business owner with a commerce site, I can tell you that even if a free SSL CA comes into existence, I would still rather pay for my Verisign cert, and _know_ that my customers will not have even an inkling of a doubt when they sign in to my site to make a purchase.
Browser compatibility is a major dev issue for web apps. Add an untested CA into the mix and web app testing time/budget just got longer and more expensive. Not to mention,a business owner would have to be nuts to risk losing even 1% of her customers who cannot establish an SSL connection because their browser does not support the new CA.
Do fossils often consist of tissue from which DNA can be extracted? I was under the impression that a fossil would have to be encased in amber,or some other substance that could preserve the integrity of actual tissue in order for dna samples to be extracted. Quicksand or tar pits would preserve the form of the trapped animal, the tar pit would harden and then sedimentation would fill in the space that was left by the completely decayed beast. These become the fossils that we see in museums.
Of course when most animals die there is nary a trace of flesh, bone, nor enamel if left to the elements after a short period of time.
Its amazing what 75 million years will do to your complexion.
