I'm no physicist but I believe that in order to de-orbit into the Sun, from Earth orbit, one would have to slow down quite a lot. Slowing down takes force.
In space, slowing down is the same as speeding up. If you were floating in space, you would appear to be staying in one place while everything else (earth, sun etc) would appear to revolve around you.
So to slow down would take the same energy that it takes to speed up. Relative to the earth.
To see it differently, you need to escape the earth's gravity. Once you pass the point where the sun's gravity takes over, no problem.
I've never encountered a revoked cert in the wild.
However, many public CAs are now including CRL Distribution Point extensions in their certificates, and these contain a URI for the CRL on which the certificate in question will appear, if revoked.
It's not clear which versions of IE have CRL checking on by default for SSL certificates - certainly for Code Signing and Macro Signing certificates the default is to download and check the CRL.
Mozilla doesn't use the CRL Distribution Point extension at this stage, but manually downloading a CRL with Mozilla (incl Firebird) triggers an automatic redownload of the CRL every time it expires.
I'm positive that MS prefers you using Apache on Windows to you using Apache on Linux.
By all means, migrate from IIS on Windows to Apache on Windows. Run OpenOffice.org on Windows too, and Mozilla.
But don't forget to install all the Microsoft security updates anyway... when you get tired of that, simply replace the base OS with GNU/Linux, and your users can have an easy migration from Windows to a Free OS!
I can convince myself that I am capable of imagining time going on forever (i probably cannot) but I cannot convince myself that time has already occured for an infinite amount of time.
According to the second law of thermodynamics, if time has already occured for an infinity, then we would all already be an evenly dispersed haze at just above absolute zero.
The only alternative is that there was a beginning at a moment in time. Then either the universe (consisting of all matter and energy) created itself, or it was created.

See this Debian Weekly News listing thawte.com as a high-profile Debian user...
(extract of debian 1.1.1 package listing):
Package: apache
priority: optional
section: net
maintainer: Mark Shuttleworth
version: 1.0.5-1
Ubuntu will also have a dev branch, once the first version is released. The dev branch will be similar to sid... daily changes etc.
Hopefully, their "don't be evil" philosophy...
Ubuntu Linux will vanish when Mark Shuttleworth runs out of money...

DVD Jon retiring? But he's been so productive lately... and 30 years on the job? I thought he was like a young guy?
Think of it like insurance. Who wants to pay insurance? Some people use insurance, others don't.
You analyze your risk, and proceed accordingly.
This audit would be performed by one of the big auditing companies, and is not free.
Hence, anybody providing certs trusted by Microsoft, must charge for them - if anything, to pay for the audit...

How long till the spammers come up with a way of infiltrating Orkut, and inviting random people to be their friends?
It's nice to see comments about iPods sneak into damned near every story on /., no matter how unrelated.
iPOD is the new Google!

It's possible that we're stuck in a pipe between /dev/rand and /dev/null.
I can't make any sense of your post. It's just random letters... although my brain is deceived into thinking that there is meaning in it.

You have to pay the Chinese to take you there... I'm kinda surprised nobody's selling those tickets yet.
durbanville is great too.
