    State your source and some concrete figures. Assertions like that need proof.

    I could go around all day and say that the majority of Slashdot users are terrorists. It doesn't mean I'm right.

    Agreed. The only way this could have been Bill is if he was drunk and actively trying to sound like a patronizing jackass to his team.

    Most of your arguments can also be applied to limiting women to 1 child each.

    But there is a genetic correlation to many more things than obesity, such as certain cancers, heart problems, diabetes, etc.

    Race could be a factor, too! black women are 4 times as likely as white women to have AIDS.

    Great. So why not err... save loads of money and just do it on Linux or Solaris? If you're looking for replies, you asked the wrong question.
  11. Re:Mad? Really? on MySpace's Melting Makes Murdoch Mad · · Score: 5, Insightful
    FTA:

    Facebook has overtaken rival social network MySpace for the first time - provoking an angry outburst from the man who paid $580m for MySpace only three years ago They don't seem to detail the contents of his outburst, or at least the angry part. However, these lines indicate that the journalist is reporting Rupert Murdoch as "angry", which is closely synonymous with "mad."

    I second this.

    I love my country, but I am beginning to want to wash my hands of it.

    It's grandfathered in.

    You see, retroactive legislation is usually frowned upon.

  14. Alternative use: on Northrop Grumman To Develop Brain-Wave Binoculars · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Think about using this in interrogations.

    Interrogator: "Do you recognize these photos of bomb making materials?"

    I called my congresswoman, and convinced my friends in nearby districts to contact their congressmen.

    With less than 24 hours notice and a family to take care of, I think I did about as much as I reasonably can.

    Hence, I believe I prove my point about the U.S. government not being able to just forge a certificate signed by a Root CA.

    I bet the DoD cert is delivered on a secure medium, in a a locked briefcase, chained to the wrist of a scary looking fellow wearing black shades. No, you go to just about any DoD website and you can download a fun little file that will install the DoD root certificates.

    I just called my congresswoman. I spent about 10 minutes speaking to her staffer and then her, letting them know that I opposed the new "compromise" bill.

    Mentioning that I served 42 months in Iraq/Afghanistan probably got me the "in" to talk to her, but every voice needs to be heard.

    Well, I know that in order to verify most U.S. DoD SSL certificates you must install the U.S. DoD root certificates locally. Example.
