I'm sure anonymous would take that quietly. They would have to be stupid to do that - enough crap is flying already, they don't need more people tossing it at them!
The revocation certificate is (should) usually be stored separate from the rest of the keys, to guard against loss/theft. The backside of that means one can steal the revocation certificates, which would probably be less noticeable.
I think the real point here, is that the OpenBSD people don't really care what others think. They follow their own drum, for better or for worse.
Nobody forces you to use OpenBSD, and nobody prevents you from patching it yourself. They are entirely in their rights to say "No" even if it is a stupid thing to do.
I doubt this thing is a perpetual motion machine, but it the sketchy details are true this could indeed improve electric motor efficiency, if only by helping them accelerate up to speed under load (where they consume the most energy).
At his point we are arguing something that doesn't really need arguing. The GUI is not necessarily part of the Operating System, as X11 + KDE/Gnome/etc can run on completely different Operating Systems. The BSD series for instance. The terminals are not part of it either - please tell me that the BSD system console is the same thing as the Linux console - they follow the same standards but are completely different - just like the Solaris stuff.
Just because Windows (and used to be Mac as well) ties the GUI to the kernel with more ropes than a Bondage House doesn't mean that the two are not separate.
I maintain my view that the Operating System is invisible to the truly average user, excepting extreme cases such as crashing and troubleshooting. When is the last time the average user surfed around in the SYSTEM registry hive of Windows?
In other words, the software that lets other software use the hardware. So, unless one was troubleshooting, programming, or engineering, I fail to see why the average user would be working directly with the Operating System.
My personal view is that Microsoft/Apple have poisoned the term "Operating System" to mean something entirely different: The distribution of programs with an operating system. For example: Windows, Ubuntu, Fedora, and MacOSX are all collections of programs bundled with the operating system.
The operating system itself should almost never be touched directly by the average user. The look/feel of the system however is not a part of the operating system itself, the "beauty and intuitiveness" is the responsibility of the GUI system (in linux, Xorg + Gnome/KDE/XFCE/etc)
... there is plenty of "analog" going on. The disc spins. It wobbles a little bit, the track spiral isn't exactly center, your whole drive is vibrating from the 15 120mm fans you have hooked in, all these will let the laser linger too long or too short on a "pit", weakening some spots and strengthening others.
The whole reason we have that whole mess of Reed-Solomon, parity, and various other error correction/detection mechanisms in play is because of that whole mess.
Painting small metal objects (logos on chip interconnects, etc)
Small color printing on plastic is also very difficult (very poor resolution, really) . Now, having a small foil bit that is "painted" dropped into a depression (with an epoxy or other clear covering) placed on top... your company logo on that little handheld gizmo now looks EXTREMELY good and is, relatively, cheap.

The problem here is this is a criminal case, not a civil case. "Beyond a reasonable doubt" doesn't cut it in a criminal case.
IANAL, but I just finished taking a law class.

You mean it wasn't a problem for you and anyone you know. You do not speak for even a fraction of the people out there. Problems happened.
The joke has been old for quite some time now.
That's not meat. Meat = muscle.
I'm not sure exactly what that would be, but I'm thinking along the lines of tripe and organs.
Asshole.
Thanks! Perhaps put a little too much thought into it, but I like it.
yes, because the AC was a pro-MS troll, and not just pointing out an apparent flaw in what you said.
Just to prove my point, I shall now call you a grammar troll... you grammar troll you!
See? That had nothing to do with what you said, but this is exactly what you just did to the AC.
Just the other day I discovered this "hack".
The Lexmark laser printer in my class now reads "PC LOAD NAPALM". Good times!
Not yet. This would be a good way start one.

Did I miss that memo? Hasn't this always been a serious threat, to all major nations?

Revoking a key isn't going to harm a company. They can just issue a new key.
A revoked key can usually still be used without limitations, however a revoked key should not be trusted and should be considered exposed.

Do both! Let the rain fall in a big pit lined with this, and let the water run off into a collection tank which feeds a watermill.

Or, that in the event they DO need it, they fetch it rather than use a cached version.
Imagine if the DTDs managed to get updated every few seconds. That would be a hell of a target to track!
There is NO reason for the DTD's to be downloaded repeatedly, as it seems to be the case. This is what all these posters seem to be missing.

I'm inclined to agree with this definition.

Mod up insightful!

I suggest some reading. Clue in, or get out.
No, most likely some jackass decided to firewall echo requests to the router, or replies from the router. You know, for "security".
