  3. Re:Hrmm... on Paul Haggis vs. the Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    At least the catholic church, maybe others, was setup in this country in such a manner that you cannot sue it as a whole, just a parish at a time.

    Criminal charges have been brought against some of the individual priests, the ones not charged could be because the state believes in their innocence or because of the great difficulty that these cases involve when there isn't a smoking gun or physical evidence.

  7. Superstar .... depends on your definition on How Do You Find Programming Superstars? · · Score: 1

    My company has the same problem, most of our interviews give us barely passable people. Once we find a good programmer we don't normally have a problem with retention. Those that are (or believe they are) superstars normally only stay for a while. Once the difficult problems are solved they loose interest, or their egos start getting in the way. Out of 11 truly brilliant people I"ve worked with in this job only 3 have been able to stay and continue to work here. Mostly because they are the ones that can work with others and are not arrogant/condescending/etc which tends to be the case with many "superstars", specially with the ones that can't deliver.

  8. Re:Well duh on IPv4 Address Crunch In 2 Years, IPv6 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    This has been out there for a while, but just recently did apache and openssl get patches to implement this. Most browsers say they support it (my initial tests confirm this). most https sharing is done by .providerdomain.com using a cert for *.providerdomain.com, the problem is for the 100 companies that want the URL only to show their own company name.

  9. Re:Well duh on IPv4 Address Crunch In 2 Years, IPv6 Not Ready · · Score: 1

    Or we can delay it a few more years if we all start implementing Server Name Indication (SNI), as described in section 3.1 of the http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3546.txt. This would let hosting companies share 1 IP with several domain names and still be able to use https because the certs would have multiple domain names. It should be much cheaper (only certs are extra cost) and requires almost no hardware changes (some ssl accelerators might need upgrades).
