I do agree child labor is a bad thing, especially when the working condition/pay is abusive, however I'm wondering what is the solution to this?
Usually what happen is the public learns Microsoft/Wall-Mart/Nike/etc. is selling goods that have at some point been manufactured by children. The company will apologize, say it did not knew and promise it won't happen again and either change their sub-contractor or ensure no child work for them anymore.
How does that help the children? They had a job where they were earning some money, probably not a lot, but still. I suppose this money was not used to pay luxury items, but to support their family in buying necessary goods like food/cloth/rent. Now, since working children is unacceptable in our westerns societies, they lost that job. And we're like : "Look we made theses kids life so much better now."
I don't see how that makes their life better.
That being said, what would be a good and plausible (read economically feasible) solution to the problem of child labor?
(Sorry for my english, I know it's bad)
One entire point of SSL is to ensure that the user can trust the
site they're connecting to.
"One entire point?" It's one *use* of SSL, but certainly not the only one. I'd venture that SSL is used more often to provide link encryption rather than remote site identification.
What is the point of encrypting the communication if you don't know who you are talking to? It could be your bank or it could be your bank, through a middle-man or it could be anyone else. If the certificate does not identify the website you're connecting to, the connection is not really more secure than if it was not encrypted.

I think you overthink it. Most wireless mouses are precise enough and can work > 1 month on a set of regulars AA bateries.
Spam is not an issue (at least with gmail). Mine is mathieu.page@gmail.com

Yes, you do. Spam-reporting services can work around this by using other means of communications.
You know in case we blew the earth... redundancy is good.
Mod parent funny, I loled so much :)
So, until the vault was opened... The car was both rusted and not rusted at the same time.
