Open Keychain Access, disable the scary cert, and STFU.
As far as stopping the 'firefox isn't a proper OSX App', its not. There is no reason to use Firefox unless you like not having a centralized managed by the OS certificate store.
Disabling the DigiNotar cert is as easy as opening Keychain Access and marking it as never trusted. Instant revocation across the OS, or we could use shitty apps like Firefox which insists on doing it all itself and as such we'd have to figure out how to disable the cert in a shitload of apps.
Once again, your ignorance makes you wrong, its STILL NOT BETTER to use broken ass Firefox.
And yes, my response is trollish, I have no idea how to deal with idiots such as yourself without trolling. If you learned how to use the OS on your computer rather than jerking off to Firefox you probably wouldn't have posted and I wouldn't have had to troll you back.
The only problem is ignorant users. The OS does a fine job of revoking certs, if you know how to use the OS.
You just revoke them in Keychain Access and they are revoked system wide. Open it, find your cert, mark it as never trusted. Takes about 8 seconds, I timed it.
Anyone who thinks certificates can't be revoked in OSX is an idiot.
reports Bob McMillan, because the OS can't properly revoke dodgy digital certificates."
Really? Cause I just set the trust to 'Never' in Keychain Access and it works just fine.
If you don't know how to do something, you shouldn't talk out your ass.
Open Keychain Access from Applications/Utilities
Click on System Roots keychain
Click on Certificates category to filter down to only certs
Double click on DigiNortor certificate.
Expand 'Trust' drop down
The first option is: 'When using this certificate:' change that option to 'NEVER'
Close Keychain Access and rest assured knowing the blogger who wrote this article is a fucking douche using slashdot for slashvertising and talking out his ass without a clue
Its been almost 100 years since thats happened in America so why don't you just stop being such a pussy and pretending thats the state the country is in now.
You most certainly can get a job, you just don't want to.
You can tell me you can't get a job when every McDonalds in America takes the NOW HIRING sign down. Until then, you're just whining cause you can't get a job like you want, not because you can't actually get a job.
If you're having a hard time getting a job its because YOU AREN'T QUALIFIED FOR THE JOBS YOU'RE TRYING TO GET.
Dude, get a clue. Whats written in the books is an unimplementable theory. Its propped up by the idea that no one is greedy, which is false, so it falls apart. NO ONE CAN PRACTICE COMMUNISM, human instinct simply doesn't allow it.
When will people finally get it. The world today is no different than it was 200 years ago. You just think you're living in a different time.
You can show all the technological changes that are different, but they really are trivial little things that really don't make a difference to the way the world works.

Wow... Just Wow. You actually believe it?
His mom was a PhD. Not exactly stuggling for money if you've had the spare time and money laying around to make it through a PhD program.
He went to columbia AND harvard... they must have been pretty fucking poor to afford sending him there, don't you think?
He went to a private collage prep school... again, not cheap.
You're completely out of touch with reality if you think Obama has a rags to riches story. He's just like every other politician, you suck at advocating for the Devil.
I have faith in humanity that eventually we will get to that point
Then you're just stupid.
Evolution has shown that those who take care of themselves above all else are more likely to have their offspring when out long term, with the occasional points in time where something wipes out most of the population and may give 'the little guy' a chance... until one of his/her offspring once again learns how greed can advance them above all others.
Who is clinging to the idea of a theoretical free market? No one claims there is one on the planet.
I've seen plenty of this discussion talk about theoretical communism and all its infinite glory... until they meet the real world, but no one is really talking about theory when it comes to free market and capitalism. No one is claiming the theoretical version is perfect, but only that the production version works far better than the production version of communism.
In the same way that capitalism has been tried and failed because you can't remove greed from the human condition.
In capitalism the greed is meant to be used as a balancing factor. Sure one man is a greedy fucker who will abuse all of his workers to death... but... there are 1000 greedy workers with less 'power' but just as much greed, and they'll do things to balance it out... like vote.
Communism pretends humans aren't humans.
Capitalism uses human nature against human nature as a moderator.
And thats where it all falls apart instantly. There IS NOT ONLY ONE CLASS, and never will be. There will always be leeches, there will be go getters, and there will be everything in between. The leeches will always complain that the go getters have an unfair advantage, even if everyone is treated the same.
To date there has been precisely zero countries where they did away with class
Right, because the real world isn't theoretical. You don't get to define how the real world acts, so your pretty little model is worthless since the real world parameters will never match your model.
The level of ignorance that people express
Yes, your level of ignorance is mind blowing, that we agree on.
Communism is based on the idea that people are willing to give up their own self-interest to advance the collective.
Its worse than that. Communism is based on the idea that people are able to ignore a few billion years of evolution of live that has bad it instinctual to look out for ones self FIRST.
Historically, this has also shown to be the most beneficial for the collective.
No its not, I first heard of it 10 years ago, and it wasn't actually new then either. What happens is someone says 'OMFG NEW WAY TO DO FULLDUPLEX ON A SINGLE FREQ!!!!@$%!#%!@\!'
And then 10 years later we are still hearing 'well, theres just a few minor problems, but once we work those out, it'll also cure cancer!'
Other than the fact that its to be built in the middle of the desert?
First off, the homeless won't have a way there.
Second off, they won't have water when they get there.
Third off, they won't have food.
Fourth, and this is by far the most important, their won't be anyone else there for them to beg money from to buy the above things. Its really hard to leech off of other people when there are no other people there.
Saving 12,000 dollars on a server, when the only apparent difference between two setups is 24 x HDD vs 24 x SSD (he doesn't specify anything else), means he'll have to pay 500 dollars MORE for each HDD than he would for the SSD. That was my point.
The point here, I think, is that you're an obtuse douche lacking the very common sense you're talking about.
Because the drives made such a massive speed improvement (thats where his performance constraints were) he was able to not spend an additional 12k on other hardware for the server. He just didn't give specifics, its not hard to figure out.
You do realize people occasionally determine they were provisioning a machine wrong, right?
It seems the SSD can gain you speed in more situations than previously thought/marketed.
What? You didn't know that SSDs were fast as shit on random IO and that HDs were better for sequential IO?
The article really didn't state anything that wasn't well known already by anyone who actually deals with this sort of stuff. The only thing it states is that it took someone at eBay a long time to realize what everyone else has known for years.
Lets keep in mind, this is an small internal app at eBay, not the web site you know. This is for employees, meaning this guy is not one of their high end engineers. He's just Joe, in IT... for the sales folks.
otherwise you'll end up with your swap occupying the SSD and not get any sort of speed increase.
If they drive puts your swap there because its the most actively accessed part of the disk, than you almost certainly are going to see a speed increase, but you could have added ram and likely saw a bigger one. None the less, if you're most accessed data is swap, than thats what the drive should put on Flash.
Lets also not forget that slashdot.org... makes its money... by selling advertisements to its users.

That's because communism has never been tried.
Because the way you define it fits your goal.

Just because your home MOVES doesn't make you HOMELESS.
I'd argue that living in a 'nice van' is still homeless however.
Having lived in a RV for a rather long time, I highly doubt you'd think it was nearly as great as you do now.
Other than the fact that its to be built in the middle of the desert?
First off, the homeless won't have a way there.
Second off, they won't have water when they get there.

Wrong.
An unTRIM'd drive is slower than a TRIM'd drive, but its not slower than spinning platters.
You can't have a vacuum in a hard drive. There are none which have a vacuum.
Air is what holds the head off the platter at speed (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle), with no air, the head will touch the platter, and that means pretty much game over.
All HDs have a vent to allow equalization with atmospheric pressure ON PURPOSE, they won't work otherwise.
It seems the SSD can gain you speed in more situations than previously thought/marketed.
What? You didn't know that SSDs were fast as shit on random IO and that HDs were better for sequential IO?

Sure you did, just like everyone else.
