That's why we rarely use keys we really trust... That means, in practice we put different tresholds of trustness on keys that will have different uses. E.g. for running software on a machine the keys comming with the install media is enough to trust them, but for banking it may not be.
Also, this is why SSL stil relies on paid certificates.
Yeah, maybe that will teach Debian developers to distribute more data than the key ID.
Probably other people behave the same way: "Want my key? Here is my ID." That is why this is bad. The GP analogy to drivers licenses would be good if the photo was too hard to look at, and people relied on the eye color on their daily tasks.
What people did discover recently is how to do something other than exploding things with that power. That was thanks to lots of advances on physics and material working, and that last one didn't stop advancing through the Midle Ages.
Not everybody is rational, even less so with their marketing expenses. Really, most companies don't even know the return of their marketing expenses, thus they can't act rationaly.
Also, filtering is great for reducing the results of spam, including spammer revenue. There is no reason not to do both, educate users and filter spam.
Once the people that grow up creating such false histories (or knowing who created them) gets into the majority, people will trust a little less what they read on the net.
You can deal with that as if there was only one incidend and one corporation involved: Corporation X did Y, that is bad! We get outraged and vote with our wallet telling that Y is bad. Corporation X undoes Y (what GD didn't do yet, by the way). Great, everything is fine.
Alternatively, you can deal with it like if there were plenty of corporations and plenty of issues: Corporation X did Y, that is bad! We get outraged and vote with our wallet telling that everybody that does something that bad will sufer. Corporation X goes from market leader to just another player. Great, no other corporation will try something like that for a while.
On the two visions above the problem is solved. The only difference is what the problem is. None of them are the right way to look at it, as there is no such thing. Everybody chooses the viewpoint that they think is right, depending on the specifics of each situation.
After some researching, Linode seems to be the only reasonably priced VPS provider that nobody is complaining about. Thus I become a client, and I also don't have anything to complain about.
I can't say their support is good, because I've never needed it. I've never had a problem with them.
Of course, none of those pages have much content... But they are the top pages of the domains. (By the way, both are safe for work. There realy isn't much in them.)
If computers are not important, why is the poster giving those students computer classes for?
Also, some visits to factories, mils, crop fields, etc would be great for students. Understand the details of how things are done make for a much wider world view.
I'd just disagree here. Overbuilt the infrastructure. There is not "if", you do have the money.
If you are creating an entire lab, infrastructure costs a very small fraction of that. Buy some slightly worse computers if you need, and overbuid the infrastructure.
Now that you pointed the actual salt used, fluorides are very corrosive to metals. Uranium tetrafluoride is probably even worse than NaCl.
Anyway, everything in the nuclear industry is done with UF4, sometimes even vaporised. I guess people have plenty of experience in protecting steel against it.
Ok, I knew GoDaddy was evil. That is not news. But "evil" has degrees, and there are plenty of other evil registars out there.
I have a few domains registered on GoDaddy because I had no reliable source to tell me how evil one the other registars were. Since I knew I'd use a limited variety of services (registering domains and pointing them to a DNS out of there), and that GoDaddy doesn't create many problems to those services, I decided to contract them.
Now things changed, they are lobbying the end of the DNS system. I'm moving my domains as soon as I can.
1 - Try to manage it; 2 - Do nothing about it; 3 - Stop interfering.
Doing 1 something COULD go wrong; doing 2 everything WILL go wrong; you are free to do 3 and kill yourself, just don't expect that we'll follow your steps.
It works (well, kinda), except if Apple patented the exact invention of "powering a mobile computer with a fuel cell".
Somebody posted one of the claims up there, what is in that claim is exactly "powering a mobile computer with a fuel cell" + "adding a fuel storage to the computer". There are no specifics, just that. Now, I don't know if it is a dependent or independent claim, but there are plenty of granted patents that cover ideas, not implementation, you'd better not jump to assumptions.
That's an interesting point. But going too much into that vision is as wrong as going too much into the "everybody is a newby" vision. I guess there is just no simple way to select a testing base...
Or maybe there is, whoever you test your softwre against will become your userbase, so chose your ninche.

Just to confirm that, vlm (69642) seems "real".
Now somedy just append another verification here, so we can continue running the byzantine generals problem.

Hum... A crypto system for general use should survive known plaintext attacks.

That means the property of real books have that they degrade over time.
I guess publishers take their words by the same place they take their business models.
The problem is that doesn't work, so people won't bet money on it.
There is no set of formal requirements that guarantees security. It can't be created.

Not only about to expire, but also recently assigned. It seems that domains that are newer than 60 days can't be transfered.
In my case, I'm waiting for the 60 days. There is still a week to go.
The point that there aren't 13 addresses in a /29 still holds.
A /29 has 8 adddresses, total. Or 6 usable addresses.

They know perfectly well that their site won't run without Javascript. They also know how to make it run.
What they don't know is how to make the advertizers spy on you if you don't turn Javascript on, so no spying = no site for you.
Heh! 3 kB (21 kB uncompressed) 67 kB (213 kB uncompressed)

Well, you have three options:
1 - Try to manage it;
2 - Do nothing about it;
3 - Stop interfering.
Doing 1 something COULD go wrong; doing 2 everything WILL go wrong; you are free to do 3 and kill yourself, just don't expect that we'll follow your steps.
Except that in practice there are those abominations like 1-click shopping.
In theory you can't patent a general idea, in practice you can and several people already did.

They still need to pass though the ritual where you backstab everybody that once cooperated with you.
But they are advancing, and fast.
That's an interesting point. But going too much into that vision is as wrong as going too much into the "everybody is a newby" vision. I guess there is just no simple way to select a testing base...

What software do you use that keeps the maps on the phone, instead of downloading as needed? Or that "anywhere" is anywhere with 3G?
