Maybe you've deleted some root certificate? Or a root certificate expired and you didn't get an update? Anyway, since you don't send any personal or confidential information to that site, I don't see any problem with just temporarily accepting the certificate.
Who cares if life as a whole flourishes. The question is whether humans will flourish. Heck, for life as a whole it would probably be good news if the human species got extinct!
Unless and until we get unpatented GMO crops, and no more lawsuits against farmers who got cross-pollination from GMO crops, I'll be against GMO crops, regardless of its other merits or non-merits. Buying GM crops means supporting an abusive industry.
Of course there are also the people who think that any food that has even just come close to a lab is the devil. That group might have a considerable (but not complete) overlap with the ethical vegetarians/vegans.
Old but cool mechanic's trick: use a screwdriver. Place the metal against a running engine, put the ( plastic or wood ) handle against your ear. Hear amazing things inside of the running engine.
From that chart, all I have to say is radio astronomy is fucked and the only place where they have any quiet is probably the far side of the moon.
Why? There's entire blocks reserved for radio astronomy, space research and earth exploration (with the addition "passive"; I assume that means you are only allowed to listen at those frequencies, not to send). And for those high frequencies, some of the blocks are among the largest.
If you take into account the radio window the relation looks even better.
Of course a radio astronomer would like to have complete silence on the full spectrum, but then he'd even get into conflict with other astronomers who want to send their space telescope data back to earth.:-)
I guess you are referring to the large blocks at the lower end of the spectrum. However note that not only are those lower frequencies mostly uninteresting for modern applications (you'd have no fun with a smartphone operating at 300kHz, for example), but those wavelengths have also extremely long reach, so any changes in those frequencies would likely need international treaties (it's not a surprise that most uses in that range carry the adjective "maritime" or "aeronautical").
Or you know, Cable/DSL/Fibre end points could start coming with a relatively low-power cell so that the customer's cell phone used inside the premises doesn't take up capacity on the closest tower cell.
As long as half of the population goes crazy over the radiation from cell towers, you'll have a hard time to convince them to put such an "evil" thing into their own home.
So you propose to change all roads just so that your new 10,000 pound pimped out low-riding hummer can comfortably drive on it because you cannot comfortably enough drive with it on the current standard roads?
Of course we cannot (and should not) forbid people to put DRMed stuff on the web. But we also shouldn't support them doing so. Especially if that comes at extra cost for everyone else (including those who have no interest in the content at all, DRMed or not).
And as far as anything regarding C++ is concerned, well the creator of that language - He who shall not be named - should have stopped in 1998 with adding features to that language - maybe even in '90.
Apart from the ugly template syntax, there's not very much he did wrong with C++. However, after that the ISO committee took over, which resulted in a typical designed-by-committee specification.
Having said that, C++ is still without true competition in its field. All those who wanted to make a "better C++" removed some of those elements of the language which make it so powerful. Which doesn't mean there couldn't be such a language. But as long as language designers confuse a "better C++" with a dumbed down C++, we'll have to wait for the true replacement.

Obligatory.

When communicating with satellites, you also want radiation to pass through the atmosphere unaltered.
You did notice I'm not the same poster as the one you were answering before?
And you did notice that three-letter sequence at the end of my post, generally known as "emoticon" or "smiley"?
And you are aware that on a sterilized scalpel life does not thrive because that's the point of sterilizing a scalpel?
BTW, I don't think there are homoeopathic scalpels, so I don't know where you get a link from my post to a homoeopathic theme.
Sterilized scalpels. They are clearly on earth. ;-)

My Firefox doesn't like your IPCC link. Do you have another that has a trusted certificate?
Ha, this is proof, even Mozilla is part of the anti-AGW conspiracy! ;-)
But on a more serious note, my Firefox does not have an issue with the certificate.

Well, maybe they just claim it is cultivated beef muscle, and it actually is cultivated horse muscle. :-)
It's a burger, not a steak. I guess that's for a reason.
Also the expensive things are affordable. Not for everyone, of course, but for the upper 1%.
Yeah, I also wouldn't accept imaginary coke. Nor complex coke, because it always has an imaginary part.
Of course there are also the people who think that any food that has even just come close to a lab is the devil. That group might have a considerable (but not complete) overlap with the ethical vegetarians/vegans.
So does it count if you know brainfuck and whitespace?
But then, it's not made out of animals. So it's clearly vegetarian food.
Not even that, they will be able to get high-resolution photos of the sound source, in colour, just from the sound data reflected off a wall!

Does it have to be a sonic screwdriver?

Bad example, because it actually is tracked who owns and uses a car. Or what did you think those license plates are for?

"but we're not talking about letting monkeys run the place."
Wait, has he even seen the Steve Ballmer developers dance?
Well, he didn't say that they don't let monkeys run the place. He only said they don't talk about it. ;-)
