According to x509(1) and ca(1), OpenSSL supports md2, md5, sha1, and mdc2 as options for message digests for certificates. Since MD2 and MD5 are already broken, and SHA1 is now suspect, that leaves just the relatively obscure MDC-2.
It's vaporware. Announced features tend get dropped from Windows during the development process. Don't believe anything from Microsoft until it's released.
"Crown" is also an acceptable and common English translation. From Wikipedia:
... The parties to the union were the Scandinavian countries, where the name was krona in Sweden and krone in Denmark and Norway, which in English literally means crown.
ZER01 Mobile plans to implement more or less what you just described: a wireless network where everything is just data over IP. Calls would be VoIP, unlimited for a fixed monthly price. Subscribers buy their own phone up front with no long-term contracts.
They will be a mobile virtual network operator, using AT&T's 3G network. They will have their own backhaul, so they can implement their own Internet usage policies.
Japan already has mandatory diets for those with BMI>30. When the government gives you taxpayer-supported healthcare, the government also has the right to run your life.
This is one instance where feet are the relevant units to use. In aviation worldwide, altitude is reported in feet. It's hard-coded in the equipment and regulations. Pilots and air traffic controllers have all developed an intuition for feet. Any change would have to be coordinated internationally, and be extremely dangerous, so it will probably stay that way forever.
Slapping a "Made for Windows Vista" logo on a computer destroys $500 in value. Slapping a Zune logo on a device would likely destroy all of its value.
Remember that each Apple product usually comes with two Apple stickers in the box to put over your Dell logo. So you're actually getting three Apple logos for your $500.
Joking aside, though -- what if Apple actually sold a product with no logo, but that was functionally identical to an Apple- branded product? Let's assume that both come in packaging that irrefutably identifies them as genuine products. If they were priced equally, I suspect that most buyers would pick the branded version, meaning that the Apple logo itself does have positive value. On the other hand, Windows-based knock-offs of the Mac mini and iMac sell for a premium over generic beige boxes, which demonstrates that there is value in Apple's hardware design (aesthetics and form factor) for some consumers.
If I had wanted POSIX-compliant behavior, I could have gotten Windows NT! (Windows was just POSIX-compliant enough to be certified, but the POSIX implementation was so half-assed that it was unusable in practice.) Just because Ext4 complies with the minimum requirements of the spec doesn't make it right, especially if it trashes your data.
Remember, back in the 80386 days, when you could get a separate math co-processor for the CPU? That seems to be the direction the pendulum is swinging. The OS would run on, say, an ARM CPU. To run x86 code, it would fire up the Intel co-processor. Specialized computations could be offloaded to a GPU for performance.
The Transmeta folks were trying to solve the same problem, I think. Now, instead of rewriting x86 code on the fly, we'll get a real x86 co-processor.
The point of the article is that solid state drives have different performance characteristics than hard disks. Since SSDs are random-access devices, fragmentation does not increase seek time. Therefore, it makes sense that a filesystem that doesn't try to worry about fragmentation could perform better on SSDs.
Steve Jones was on a segment of the science program Quirks & Quarks on CBC Radio. Needless to say, the other experts interviewed had opposing viewpoints. Evolution doesn't stop, it just heads in different directions. Even if fathers aren't as old as they used to be, as Prof. Jones claims. But that itself seems to be an implausible statement -- I keep hearing that modern couples are delaying childbirth past the natural age of peak fertility.
In IPv6 autoconfiguration, a node forms its address by concatenating a prefix broadcasted by the router and a suffix based on its own MAC address. The leaked MAC addresses would be those of the computers behind the router, not of the router itself. The prefix used would likely be provided by the ISP or tunnel broker, in much the same way that the ISP hands out IPv4 addresses today.
You (or someone who looks like you) must have done something to piss them off in the past. Apparently, crows (and I suppose their relatives, magpies) can recognize the faces of human enemies.
God, this feels horrible, but I have to defend Microsoft/Windows here a bit
Windows 98 was slower than Windows 95, running on the same hardware
Windows XP was slower than Windows 98, running on the same hardware
Windows Vista is slower than Windows XP, running on the same hardware.
What kind of defense is that? Mac OS X gets faster with every release, running on the same hardware.

I once searched for "Kindle" and got an AdWords link to the Sony e-Reader with the tagline "Rekindle your love of reading".

Duh. Everyone knows that Tiger Direct is an operating system for Macs.
Yahoo's loss is Google's gain.
"Crown" is also an acceptable and common English translation. From Wikipedia:
Other cognates include the Czech/Slovak koruna and Estonian kroon.
For Mac OS X, try Papers. There's also an iPhone/iPod Touch version. Mac OS is great at handling PDFs in general.

Really? What about the sumo wrestlers?

Thank you for demonstrating why whitespace-significant languages suck.

Isn't it time we dumped ASCII and moved over to Unicode?
Nay, it's time we dump all other languages and move over to English!
You really ought to try Unicode pr0n. It's much better than ASCII.

Why should McCain and Obama get equal treatment? What about all the minor-party candidates who got nearly no coverage by the press?
How do you know I'm not using IP over letter carriers?

According to the TIFF metadata, the new ads were made on a Mac! After this was revealed, Microsoft has attempted to scrub the metadata from the files.
This just keeps getting better and better. Note to Microsoft: when you're in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

I was trying to mod you informative, but my mouse slipped. Now I have to post to undo my mod. Sorry!
