Look, if you care *that much* about having control of your own signing infrastructure then set up your own CA (something that is trivially easy), sign your own sites and include the CA public cert in you browser. Then make sure that everyone else using your site gets th CA public cert in a secure, preferably offline fashion.
You don't *have* to pay money to a commercial CA, and you may not want to because you don't trust them, but if you care at all about security you need to replace it with something.
Oh, nokia chargers. It loves nokia chargers! I've had to hunt around the house for mine. That and occasionally it moves the doormat halfway across the room. Otherwise I love it!
It does look good in games. I wasn't suckered into anything and the panel was no more expensive than others I was looking at that were the same size (50 inch).
Funny you may be but there was a self-emptying one by Karcher. Unfortunately it was two or three times the price, and you still had to empty its base station once in a while...
SSC is only more secure if you've exchanged keys offline, otherwise it doesn't protect against MITM attacks. Somewhat more secure? Maybe, but still wide open.
I'm in Aus now and I haven't heard "Champagne" used about domestic sparkling wine. Port, yes, about Australian port-style fortified wines.
"I will keenly look on in 50 years when Joe Average doesn't even have a clue what "real" Port or Champagne is anymore because the name has fallen from general use."
Awesome, that's all the Europeans are asking - that you stop using their names. If that results in their names falling out of use then so be it. Me? I like to know what I'm getting, and having grape variety and location is good for that. IMHO.
Stereo has yet to prove that it really provides any kind of advancement for image presentation.
Really? It's proven to me.
Put glasses on, -> image looks much more real and present. It's pretty much that simple, IMHO.
"You are not even getting vertical parallax,"
I don't know about you, but my eyes are arranged horizontally. Other than that your argument seems to be "we don't know how to use it yet". OK, cool, it's going to improve over time.
I'm sure there are a lot of people in your situation, but that's always the case. I won't be buying a new computer monitor either. But I was recently in the market for a new tv and thought "what the hell" and got a 3d plasma, as it was in the same sort of price range as the other similarly sized plasmas.
There are enough people like both of us to ensure that uptake is slow but existant, IMHO. And probably a few folk lusting after that newer, bigger, faster screen, because that's what they do, or because they just want a bigger panel...
IIRC the 5 series are a newer generation. I couldn't tell you if they clean better than the older ones as I never had an older one. I payed 400 (AUD) for mine and am quite happy with it.
But then I suppose we're still in the "entertaining novelty" phase. It did come with a wall and a filter.
Tories get caught with much worse than that don't they?
I recall a story from the early 90s of a Tory, may have been a peer, being found dead wearing stockings and suspenders, with an orange in his mouth, a plastic bag ove rhis head and a kettle lead wrapped around his neck...
I may be exaggerating, but I think that was on "Have I Got News For You" a long long time ago...
"In Call-Me-Dave's brand new Britain there is no longer any such thing as quality, integrity, creativity or honesty - just the naked and unashamed lust for cash coupled with a sneering contempt for pretty much everyone."
Really? Cool, I might consider moving back some day then.
1. Says you. 40 Million PS3 owners would (mostly) beg to differ. 2. People buy tvs more frequently these days than ever they did before, and the 3D premium on top of a normal HDTV is small and shrinking. 3. You'd be surprised ho few people care about the version of the firmware on their ps3. This may change with the PS3 jailbreaking stuff going on at the moment, but there are not a large number of people who give much of a crap. 4. False. You do not need to buy move to play or enjoy 3d games.
And if it's a Sony misstep then it's also a Samsung, Panasonic and LG misstep. I find that less likely.
Just like anti-aliasing, higher resolutions, lighting and shader effects, high-detail textures etc etc, right? All just a gimmic!
Not to mention that you want people who don't have 3d tvs to be able to play, and also people that don't feel like going 3d, or who complain 3D gives them a headache. Whom I put in the same class as my father who, a number of years ago, had a go at Quake and got motion sickness.
Just because *you* hate it doesn't mean everyone does. Now that it's not much of a premium on a decent LCD or Plasma and the big manufacturers (Sony, LG, Panasonic, Samsun) are all in on the game, I don't see it going away any time soon.
Why is it that the collected geeks of/. have such a problem with it anyway?
Came here to say this - if it's safe for those that pay 25 bucks to go 90 then it's safe for everyone else too. In fact probably safer than having some able to go faster than others. It also makes a mockery of any claim that highway speed limits are there for safety reasons.
Which, IMHO is fine, they should be made a mockery of.
"let's get this straight right off: there never existed, does not exist, and never will exist a government that does not spy on its citizens do you understand that? it's called law enforcement."
FAIL.
Law enforcement doesn't need to spy and should not spy without reason and a court order. It is spying and watching as a matter of course,, prying into everyone's lives for no reason, that is the issue here.
And for fuck's sake lay off the "you just try that in iran and china!" line, it makes you look like a moron. Being better than some of the most repressive regimes on the planet isn't enough for me, is it enough for you?
You mean just like the US and UK governments do through legal or extra-legal means? Installing data taps in ISP and telephone providers operations centres? Demanding encryption keys from companies and private citizens alike?
Let's not pretend that these are tinpot developing nations - these guys are following the example set by #1!
"By the way before you go on about your little rant Champagne does not come from Champagne. In fact wine from Champagne is not allowed to carry the name Champagne because of these stupid rules. Educate yourself before you go complaining about something you don't understand."
Are you STILL on about a little village called Champagne that's restricted from using the name?
Yes, miscarriages of justice do occur.
But otherwise no, nobody outside the USA thinks Champagne is a generic word for sparkling wine.
Yeah, and why don't wheat farmers make bread the way I like?
Different parts of the industry my friend. The script writer and director may choose to use 3d or not, but they aren't the people designing the tvs and their capabilities are they now?

Ego-driven?
The man wouldn't even allow an interview for years.

I was buying a tv anyway and I'm a geek.

I can do that with both eyes!
But not one at a time, no...

I guess "Roomba" is no longer exciting though, right?

If done correctly they wouldn't know who was searching for it.
"I would only by a 3DTV if I could watch it without much attention to my viewing angle."
You don't really have to care that much with the glasses. Whether you like the glasses or not is up to you. I do.
"I wonder how many CEOs are reading this thread and whether they recognize holography as the holy grail of 3DHDTV."
Probably 0. /. has a history of calling this stuff wrong.
