Online gambling websites often require you to download (sometimes malicous) software, which may open ports on your computer, thus exposing you and America at large? Keep your ports closed, America!
Web of Trust (WoT) is a PKI model. Certificate Authorities (CA) is a competing PKI model, and the one apparently you prefer. Have you taken a look at the CA list of trust in your browser lately? I for one prefer WoT, although more work on the part of the user to maintain, the trust model is based on me, not "Staat de Nederlanden" or any other company I've never heard of. Not to mention the stolen Microsoft certificates of a few years ago. There is nothing to stop us from moving to a WoT model for our browser PKI, just as there is nothing stopping us from using the CA model for email, it's just how it's been implemented for us thus far, and which we choose to use.
MIME vs Inline are competing ways of using PKI in email, it appears you prefer MIME which does appear to be the merging standard.
It's too bad after 15 years, probably > one percent of internet users have even used it, or any of its OpenPGP standard derivatives (GnuPG) for example. Sort of like the NSA telephone spying fiasco this year in the U.S, you know the various bureacracies are watching all the packets they can. If you want privacy, now is the time to take control of your own. Encrypt your emails and files, IPSEC, SSH, HTTPS wherever possible, and demand it where it is not yet available for you.
"Now that's all fine and dandy, but if Sun saved so much money why don't they help us out a little bit, so that we can make OpenSSH even better? " - Theo
namecalling and "if only you knew what you're talking about.." is your reply? If that's all you have please keep it where it belongs. You've just done the exact same thing Theo does. Theo has outted Sun for not donating enough to his satisfaction. I find it interesting that Theo still doesn't state what is acceptable to him, i.e. what amount of money he will find acceptable in order to stop humilating them in public.
I understand Theo is mad that Sun has incorporated OpenSSH into Solaris, and not given Theo enough money to his liking. I understand Sun is a large company with more money than Theo, but you can't clain something is free and then demand money for it in a public forum. If Theo wants money, especially the fact he EXPECTS it, he should stop claiming it's free, charge what he wants for it, and quit whining. I won't use OpenBSD simply because I don't want to be outted in a public forum for using what is advertised as a free OS that isn't really free. I've shown money is expected. It's either free for everyone or it isn't.
It doesn't take more than a 5 minute search to find evidence of Theo outting Intel, and more recently sun for NOT donating enough to make Theo happy. So what does he do? He outs them in a public forum in an accusatory fashion. I don't feel you can claim your OS is free if you harass the people you've told it's free too, for money.
First off, it's "Iraq". I know there isn't much world news on American channels, but that is how it's spelled. Some further research you might find interesting is who funded weapons and weapons training to both Saddam, as well as Osama. I know you were trying to be funny, but it seems apparent your news is coming from American propaganda. The rest of the world is not laughing. As for China vs America for lying politicians, let he who casts the first stone...
Really makes me wonder why anyone would want to live in America "the free" anymore. Is anyone doing anything proactve to stop these blantant removal of freedoms?
* US Patriot Act * Surveillance of innocent citizens * Wars for greed * Breaking every single international treaty (UN, even NAFTA which is all allies)

I wish Dean could have answered twice as many -- and so does he, but his schedule has been tight this week
You would think for the opportunity for free public relations with one of the largest groups of systems administrators, geeks, and critics of his product he'd be able to find some free time. If he can't spend the time to demonstrate why his browser is a reasonable alternative, for which I'm willing to listen, I'll spend my resources convincing my social network why they should use my browser of choice. I spend the time explaining to my peers why I recommend my browser of choice, and I'm not in the browser industry.
Alcohol, and all drugs, should be treated as the health issue they are, not a criminal issue. Violence on the other hand should be given far more severe penalities for any and all violent offences. We're all way to forgiving to violent crimes, we need a real deterrent. As TFA states, domestic violence had risen during their trial period. Keeping violence behind closed doors is helping no one.

So easy to attack the giant, but I would guess the majority of readers are reading this on PC and monitor using a lot of power, with their SUV sitting in the driveway etc. Without legal obligation, I applaud any company and/or individual that moves towards green energy. Our house has all started to bicycle where possible.
And that is ignoring the fact that the only reason OpenBSD has such a track record for not very many exploitable holes, is because they don't consider any useful tools or applications as part of the base OS.
That is plain wrong, and very much so. OpenbSD is an Operating System, nut just a kernel with GNU userland tacked on.
I understand the difference between GNU/Linux and OpenBSD. At least GNU userland is advanced. Does OpenBSD base include Apache for example? This is something almost every UBO (Unix based OS) user installs. Of course once the user installs any useful application this guarantee for being "secure by default" goes out the window. At least you can use the FreeBSD ports system to install useful tools in OpenBSD.
Here's my challenge to you, install OpenBSD, and nothing else on it, and see how fun your computer experience is.
Why don't you try it yourself?
I'm writing this from experience. A false sense of security, lack of a friendly UI as well as a lack of a friendly leader made my decision to not use OpenBSD anymore quite easy.
I'm sorry you don't see a difference between "hole free" with "riddled with holes", there is one. I'm sad to inform the zealot in you that OpenBSD has, and will continue to have holes in the OS. And that is ignoring the fact that the only reason OpenBSD has such a track record for not very many exploitable holes, is because they don't consider any useful tools or applications as part of the base OS. Here's my challenge to you, install OpenBSD, and nothing else on it, and see how fun your computer experience is.
If you want some entertainment as your computer experience is now severely limited, it might be a good time to research the social skills of the leader. Let me find an example from the last couple weeks:

It is my suggestion that instead of working on their security track record, perhaps the OpenBSD team should see the value in public relations/marketing. At least that is one thing I'm sure we can agree Microsoft has learned the value of.
I don't think anyone feels that Windows is security hole free. I've not seen a security hole free OS. Does today's "news" not perhaps mean that Microsoft is spending more R&D on resolving this issues?
The only use for privacy is protection against intolerant people
Which is why under the current U.S. Administration, you'd think today's American youth would fight for privacy more than ever.
You have to excerise your right to privacy as a personal policy if you have/had such a freedom, or you will watch that right be removed before your eyes.
Do you think the cable grows in the ground like so many tree roots? Do you think the programs just appear on that cable without the benefeits of expensive facilities, equipment and trained staff?
Why do you ass-u-me that expensive facilities are required for quality programming? I'm not a fanboy of American Idol and its offspring. Are you really trying to justify television advertising as a requirement for cable to exist?
Most television in my country currently is fairly low budget, not to mention the tax credit of 30% of salaries for films made in my country.
Moreover, do you really think your $25/month pays for the production of the thousands of shows that are broadcast to your home 24/7?
Why do you 1) assume that I'm in a country that has thousands of shows broadcast into my home 24/7? 2) assume that I think thousands of television shows that are broadcast into my home are anything more then a waste of resources.
If you want ad-free, subscription based television it already exists in the form of HBO et al. You're more than welcome to sign up and step off your soapbox at any time.
Ad-free, subscription based television does not exist yet, in my country.
Why do you ass-u-me I'm American? You've made countless assumptions in your reply, and you know what that makes you.
