>Encrypted, not authenticated/verified HTTPS is as secure as HTTP.
I can't agree. Encryption is always a bonus as far as I can see. It provides you with some degree of protection from packet sniffing. It might not provide much else for a sophisticated attacker, but at least you have that much.
I agree. I'm not down on encryption, there should be more encryption, just negative about the way it's been handled by the browsers. Trust is, to me, more than just a certification by some company that is only concerned about making money and cares not a bit for me.
Certification is what they provide, but that seems like a useless semantic. My problem is that this system tries to convince you to place your trust in an authority that doesn't deserve it but leads you to believe they do. Their mandate as companies is to make money, not be trustworthy.
What were you thinking? If you really want to do something worthwhile campaign the browser makers to change their browsers. The whole "encryption = authentication" idea is stupid and wrong. The scary warnings when someone wants to encrypt the traffic between you and their website using their own certificate is commercialism at it's worst.
>Some people are actually good in management, but being bad in coding is not a prerequisite
If they like management better, and that's what interests them, then they should do that instead. They'll do a better job and enjoy it more.
>I was regularly paying the salaries of the teams.
If you were paying the salaries you could decide who got raises and who didn't. You portrayed yourself as a coworker jealous of someone else's raise. Your comments don't make sense. If you do pay the salaries then don't give out raises.
> And as a "consumer" I'm paying for the products that are built using IT
Nonsense. If I don't buy anything from company X then I don't pay any of their salaries unless they're a legal monopoly and I'm forced to pay for them through taxes. Even then my contribution is so miniscule as to be immaterial. I probably waste more money on sodas I didn't finish.
You're emotionally invested and you're making up rationalizations for why you should have this attitude after the fact.
* If they're interested in management then perhaps they should be doing management instead of coding. Sounds like they'll be happier and you'll get better code if you get someone who loves it. * Why do you care if they get a pay raise? The money doesn't come from your pocket. That's jealousy, not a rational reason. * Who cares if it holds to some arbitrary principles someone set out? They're not perfect and certainly not inviolate.
Managers that try to code are nothing new and not a scrum only problem. If they have the desire to manage then they're not hard core coders and you're better off moving them to management and making space for dedicated professionals. If they're not your manager then you can show your velocity graph to management. If they ignore it then it's their problem. So if you're really into this management stuff you're not a hard core coder either. Why don't you suggest yourself for management and show them your great ideas.
* this can be either the best or the worst thing you'll do in your lifetime. THINK ABOUT IT CAREFULLY. If there are troubling bits then don't. * don't assume that because you're married you can stop being nice 'because you've caught her'. She can divorce you, or worse. * common law marriage. community property. alimony. Look up the laws in your state. * learn what she likes and do it. don't try to make her like what you do. * goto amazon.com and get a copy of this book. It explains the expectational differences between the sexes. http://www.amazon.com/Why-Dont-Enough-Women-Love/dp/0671689789/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1249474597&sr=8-1 * figure out how you're going to raise the kids. If you're strict and she's permissive and neither of you will give in then you're headed toward disaster. * treat her as well as you'd like to be treated. Most people will respond with love if you love them, even if you do it badly.
A large number of your average corals on the reef do this daily. They both capture plankton and use symbiosis with photosynthetic algae in their bodies.
If you have a hobby go to a hobby related convention. Learn some social skills and hygiene first. Ask yourself honestly "why would anyone be interested in knowing me? what can I offer them?" If you don't have a good answer that's a clue.

Windows design is controlled by an organization that puts ITS COMMERCIAL INTERESTS AHEAD OF EVERYTHING ELSE. If it were run by someone who had its users interests as its primary goal I might agree.

Fuel cells have never been close to a workable solution. Batteries and super capacitors are much better and available right now. The oil companies wanted it so they would have something to sell us when fossil fuels got phased out. Instead the power companies will get all the business when people buy plugin hybrids.

It slows down exponentially with time. No apocalypse there.
I read it. They didn't actually implement memory, They don't have read or write hardware. It's just something that might be used for memory some day.

Way too much emphasis on marketing and not enough on bugs. *Cough* microsoft *Cough*

Good luck!
I can't imagine google is hipaa certified as a storage provider for medical information.

the authors care about the results of user testing and will spend time to change it. They have zero incentive to do so.
If it's to be popular Linux needs direction and someone who will incent people to do the scut work of testing it and making the 'boring stuff' work.

>I'm unaware of any objective that an OS should have that would require other operating systems to run the same API as me.
How about facilitating interoperability. Which is why APIs were invented in the first place.

Why are you asking computer geeks? Ask a drug rehab professional. They're well versed in dealing with addiction. I don't think the type matters.
Yeah, that's why I thought they fought so hard for fuel cells. They could sell hydrogen instead of gasoline.
and power companies are generally regulated monopolies...

Most of the code I've written someone else designed. I'd object to being held liable for something I had no choice in the design of.
Either would be nice. I love the pvr I built using mythtv. I had the best luck on my older hardware with the mythdora distro.
