Mozilla Firefox and other browsers treats self encrypted certs as WORSE than unencrypted and put big scary messages up
I think it is reasonable action for a certificate you don't know the source. You can always add the certificate to your browser and avoid the error. The rationale for the pop-up is that an unknown self-signed certificate is as bad as no encryption - totally open to a main-in-the-middle attack, but people have a higher expectation of security from SSL.
How can that really be a fear when you know for a fact that it is going to happen. By this point, you should expect it right off the bat.
Misplaced decimals in financials calculations are a bigger fear to have
Some of our changes are just so strange and comprehensive that they can only seen to be the same project at a business level. For example a set of web services to obtain data being changed to a single sign-on system so that users could follow links to another system to display the data. And this change was not expected to require any rework.
Changing requirements mid project. Actually that wouldn't be so bad if the managers wouldn't imply that you are somehow failing if you say that will extend the delivery date.
Nobody is forcing anyone to connect to the internet (well, except EA and UbiSoft if you really need to play their games).
People who think the Internet should not exist, should just unplug that cable from the computer, or better, they shouldn't get a subscription from the ISP. It's THAT simple! No more fear of those crazy cyberwarrior ninjas and their electronic katanas.
Not that simple. If you read the article the guy is talking about cyber attacks on utilities, financial institutions, etc. If you have that fear as well as unplugging you need to go off-grid, have your own water supply and be self-sufficient for food.
I'm reminded of a Douglas Adams quote:

Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.
What I don't understand is why over UDP? They are building a transport protocol, which logically should be another alternative to TCP, UDP, SCTP, etc. Wouldn't this be both more efficient and architecturally cleaner?
You do know that Karl Popper was a humanities professor, right?
Well philosophy of science is a bit of a cross-over. In y view his work has more to do with the reason behind scientific methodology than about humanities.
I would have thought it more important that humanities students take a basic science and engineering course, so they at least have some understanding of how things work, scientific method, and what a theory is. I think the idea that scepticism comes from humanities rather than science is a joke, and shows a complete misunderstanding of falsifiability and Karl Popper's work on the philosophy of science.
A long flight... but that's so environmentally unfriendly. We should insist that his plans are subject to a long train ride, or even better a long trek instead.
You sure as hell wanted out Levis and our T-shirts. I traded my clothes in 1988 for at least $10,000 worth of fine clothing in Italy and Germany. All of you desperately wanted to dress like americans to the point that you would pay $150US (1988 money) for a single pair of jeans.
Yes, you could get Jeans at a reasonable price even in the early 80s when I was at Uni
As well as "They drew a nasty picture" they will be able to say "Why do you make such a fuss about the Boston Bomber, 9/11, the Fort hood massacre when there are dozens of non-Muslim terrorists who blatantly complain about the water quality"
I find citrix to be a useless platform mired in the past and unable to step forward into the future. Weird inconsistencies poor implementation it could all be replaced by a small shell script.
I couldn't agree more, but for secure remote desktop access on a large scale its the best there is. It could be a lot better but the others are worse or unproven in enterprise settings
I guess that's when everyone gathers around dressed in renaissance costumes, drink warm beer, speak in mock-British accents, and reminisce on the times when knights were bold and PHP was cool
I regularly miss phone calls, either my phone was silenced, or I'm biking and it's in a bag, or I'm just talking to a co-worker 50' away and my phone is sitting on my desk. My Pebble is always on my wrist, so I know when I'm getting a phone call now.
It has a 50' bluetooth range? That's better than I thought, the same thing happens to me a lot.

Mod parent up - the linked PDF is extremely informative on why the geometric mean should be used.
Having one's face stuck in a computer chatting and liking is not socialising.

Thanks - you deserve an "informative" mod point!
Surely both people who still run BSD on the desktop could just buy another machine
They could in theory, but they can't agree on the definition of "open hardware" and are unlikely to resolve this in the near future.

That's terrible .... people wouldn't treat a dog like th...... Oh wait!

I was always taught the opposite...
Are you in the faculty of contradiction?

So basically we have an outdated interface and replace it with some added complexity, then another layer which gives us the same outdated interface.

BSD license, I'm not sure you understand it.
I think OP means that there will be a war over the merits of BSD vs GPL, bot that there will be some dual licensing issue

"The days of the digital [watch] are numbered"
It's so funny when people say things everyone knows is wrong...
No the funny thing is that while at the obvious level it is wrong, taken literally its true ,,, at least if the watch has a date function!
