The point of SSL is so you know who you are talking to. It doesnt do anything else.
And anyone can get a SSL certificate these days no questions asked for about $12. The only difference with CACert is its free, which is a lot better for little things that you'd use a self signed certificate for.
The entire system doesnt fall apart if you make them easy to get. It just gets more useful.

I really cannot see how a PhD helps you to innovate.
If you design your queries well enough, then you dont see any of the crap.
What do you mean 'if you have the resources to run it'? /me pats his Pentium 3 laptop running it just fine. :)
It can even get a frame per second if I turn a bunch of effects on.
Damn Intel 815 graphics.
Any ISP who blocks SSL wont get very far.
Everything from Internet banking to eBay uses SSL.
Stuff that normal people notice.
Most have already woken up.
Intel, AMD and nVidia have all been giving out specs and code.
Its only the smaller manufacturers who dont give a damn in this day and age.
Even that will change.
Yeah OLEDs are superior by nature. No backlight thus no efficiency problems.
The light is generated on demand.
Nothing Linux cant adapt to.
I agree, but rolling releases are bloody fantastic for power users who can fix the little odd breakage.
I find it highly amusing when I tell religious people about stuff like this.
They dont know because they turn a blind eye to it.
What canvas support? :P
Sillicon isnt a metal. :)
The public key validates that the communication is coming from the owner of the private key.
It does validate the identity of the other party.
It doesnt validate that the website is isnt impersonating another one however.
Certificates were never designed to prevent pishing websites.
Want me to buy a SSL certificate for citicardbank.com right now from Verisign?

It would be exceptionally difficult because of the precision.
You need to emulate multiple satellites sending data at the speed of light, with precise timing.
Then the GPS logs would show that as well.
Think you got the prices wrong.
Office Ultimate here in Australia is $1,200.
A drop in the pond compared to the $8,000 computer you need to run it. :)
If Linux specifically mentioned in the summary, why would you even consider Windows?
Its obvious that Linux will run the application in question.
And it seems like they should 'just work' and be low maintenance.
Also fast booting was a requirement. That rules Windows out. ;)
What heat? Pentium chips can run overclocked without a heatsink.
Do that to a modern chip and 120 watts creates silicon vapor. :)
Yeah but the whole speed thing comes from the fact that it boots Linux from flash.
Its just Linux. Nothing really special.
LinuxBIOS is more like what your thinking of and it boots Linux in 3 seconds.
But it requires a supported motherboard.
So what are you saying? Secure Windows is nearly unusable?
And they arent afraid of losing business due to SSDs.
People have coped with normal hard drives for years without any problems.
If you have money floating around then sure, but for the vast majority of users, the money is better spent elsewhere.
A Flash or Java makes it easier for computers, not harder.
Last time I checked, computers could read Flash and Java files just fine, while humans see a pile of gibberish.
Far better to keep the code which makes the captcha on the server side, and only give a image to the attackers.
I've never had a problem with the accelerometers.
Everything is quite smooth for me.
