sure you would, they do self-signed certificates now. The damn browser just doesn't have to throw up a big stink about it. consider untrusted signatures (aka self signed) as encryption only, no special lock icon telling the user everything is ok to give out financial information. They just need to declare these sites differently than the OMFG-RUN-FOR-YOUR-WALLETS behavior they do now. Have you seen the lack of security in the $35 SSL certificates? Whats the point to them other than proving you paid godaddy $35. I could be hamaas for all they know.
SSL is flawed from the start. As an Admin I often has sites I want encrypted for privacy. I do not collect credit card information, I do not sell shit. The fact that SSL is tied to a certification of validity is absurd. These signing authorities act as a notary public that validates you are whom you claim to be. In the past I have even had to fax over a copy of my business license to obtain one. This works well if I want people to know I am not a fraud and am collecting credit card information. However, there's many places where I want to SSL for encryption alone such as web based email, the admin interfaces to phone systems, the admin interface of firewalls etc. Someone like us has no problem clicking past the obnoxious warnngs about untrusted SSL. Your average user isn't. As stupid as they are about downloading virus, trojans, fake antivirus' and malware, these same people wont go to a website that IE turns bright red and warns about sudden death over.
it really needs to be two mechanisms...
encryption should be a separate piece. Good encryption should be independent of authorized validation. There should be two checks, one for good encryption and then further check for valid trusted signatures. Dont show the secure lock on encryption-only links, display a different icon to indicate encrytion only. If these signing authorities could lobby their way they'd have you paying them anywhere from $35 - $350 every time you wanted to turn up a website. Thats worse than a tax and what makes them so much 'in the know' on who is who anyway?
At first I thought it was basically saying that 20% of all facebook users get a divorce and facebook was the culprit. Now I realize its saying that out of all the divorces, 20% of them claim its due to a connection they made with someone on facebook. I would like to know what percentage these 20% contribute to the entire demographic of married couples on facebook (if both spouses on facebook count as 1). That would give a better perspective on how much an impact facebook has IMO. Whatever the results, I would consider the same impact substantially higher for non-married committed relationships where separation consists of no legal paperwork or drawn out procedures. I'm so old and jaded these days I know the grass is never greener on the other side. Everyone has a list of flaws, marriage is all about finding the person with the flaws you are willing to live with. Leaving a known quantity for an unknown quantity is not really the smartest choice. After 11 yrs of marriage I know that if I leave a mess somewhere I wont get judged over it. Likewise if my wife does something that gets on my nerves I'm over it in 10 minutes anyway. None of that exists in a new relationship. Sure its shiny and new, but eventually that wears off and suddenly you realize there's flaws you might NOT be willing to live with. Acceptance is the most important ingredient for making a relationship survive the long haul. Going with shiny and new, you never know if the other person wont bolt as soon as they find out you fart in bed, or like to work late on projects. Just because you two get along great as pen pals is hardly a basis to completely up-heave ones life.
use google's Postini service. IT will act as a virus/spam filter for you as well as a 'proxy' for your SMTP traffic. All your MX records will have their IPs and you can even send all your outgoing traffic to them as well for scanning before sending.
Aggressive behavior does not immediately imply full-on rage. The term is misused too much I fear. Remember those old office 'jokes' that used to go around in the days of sneaker-net? Like:
Stress: The confusion caused when ones mind overrides the body’s natural desire to choke the living shit out of some asshole that desperately needs it.
It was humorous because we've all felt the urge to smack, punch, bitch-slap, do _something_ to someone but never acted on it. Yelling, acting out, back talking, telling someone off... these are all 'aggressive behaviors'. So if while playing a video game (any video game) elevates your pulse rate, breathing rate, and increases your adrenaline levels putting you in a predisposed position to be more alert, and on the defensive then technically its liked to 'aggressive behavior'. That does not mean to imply that anyone experiencing aggression is suddenly going to go commit a Columbine. They're word games and politicians love to play word games.
if by 'normal' you mean the statistical average then I would agree that the 'normal' sampling of people are becoming more and more aggressive every year. The economy sucks, lots of people are either unemployed or underemployed. Those with jobs have probably not had raises in a few years, meanwhile damn near everything is going up 20% per year around them (insurance premiums alone have gone up more than 20% every year for last several years). Gasoline has increased by nearly a factor of x4 since 2001 while every quarter the oil cartels boast record profits over the previous quarter all the while being given enormous tax breaks by our government. Our businesses pay the highest tax rate of any other country (35%) all the while our biggest corporations shuffle their numbers around to cheat you and I out of 20 BILLION in tax dollars (ie General Electric paying 0 dollars in the USA last year but paid 10 billion in taxes to Ireland at their 12.5% rate) leaving the rest of us to make up for that in new taxes. This doesn't even begin to list all the things that the average person deals with or reads about on a nearly daily basis. Hell just typing all of that got my blood boiling LOL
If the situations themselves weren't bad enough you had politicians throwing gasoline on this fire since year 2001 using the most extreme metaphors and analogies possible. War criminal, Hitler, Nazi's, Communist, Manchurian candidate, impeach, assassinate, execute, kill kill kill, etc etc. Society has been on a steady incline in terms of average levels of aggression since the 50s.
I think the biggest confusion is the word aggression itself. It doesn't have to imply full-on rage of institutionalizing proportions. Any time you experience an emotionally charged feeling that gets under your skin and pisses you off.. you're experiencing aggression. Ever get pissed off and flip someone off while driving or use some colorful metaphors? The very fact we have to schedule down time to 'unwind' this 'tension' in the hectic lifestyles we now live gives plenty of evidence that aggression is on the rise, and that it affects so many people that it has crossed over into 'normal'.
excellent point, they're like some high school tease getting the guy all worked up day after day but not doing anything about it only to feel dissed later when she learned he slept with the school tramp. Take the fast food industry.. pay close attention when they run their commercials. I guarantee you that they don't run a commercial at a time where there are no open stores in the area. If any market has complete understanding of instant gratification its fast food.
what's with these corporate assholes that always choose the one time of the year that everyone has the highest financial burden to start downsizing/firing/laying people off? Why can't they make these decisions in April? or August?
Dark Helmet: So the combination is... one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!
in some countries the punishment for stealing is to cut off ones hand. I suppose removing several fingers with a cigar cutter would be on par with this level of rationalization. Of course some youtube videos of him becoming some cellmates bitch could be a really good deterrent for the next would-be spammer out there. Not only would he/she be risking the same fate, but all their friends seeing them prison raped on youtube would be the salt in the wound for sure.
As for murders and rapist, I say dump them on a sparsely vegetated island with no indigenous life and tell them they eat what they kill. Cheaper on the tax payer that way.
I have one of those Casio G-shock watches that has a solar cell on the faceplate to recharge the battery and it gets its time from some nationally broadcast radio signal. Despite the policies on which day DST kicks in, the damn thing has always accurately adjusted itself yet it gets no firmware update. My guess is something in the signal it receives.
The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation is behind it; this you can be sure of. They're a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes
It isn't common knowledge, but the Pedestrian Council of Australia is only one person, Harold Scruby.
A year or two ago, he was responsible for 90% of complaints against TV ads, especially car ads.
He is a fruit loop who likes to cause trouble
thanks for that information. Its a whole lot easier a pill to swallow that one elected nutjob is making outlandish remarks rather than having to swallow the entire country is bonkers and more than one elected nutjob has come up with this idea.
I don't suppose there has been an equal increase of pedestrians killed walking in front of trains have there? Pinning this increase in deaths on an 'ipod zombie state' should be seen in an increase in all forms of related deaths and injuries (walking in front of trains and cars, falling off edges of road, platforms). Otherwise its a clear case of correlation != causation.
I've seen plenty of patent infringement cases for software and procedures that certainly do not have any sort of patent office label thrown at you when you use or download or purchase the software. The Verizon vs Vonage lawsuit comes to mind. I don't recall seeing USPTO No's : X, Y, Z, C, B, A at the bottom of my bills from Verizon. So even though IANAL, I suspect that putting a patent number on the product is not required.
Given the scope of the article I would say that one should either make a mold that says US Patent Pending (i see lots of these) to serve as a warning that copying will get your butt hauled into court. OR stick to putting the patent numbers on the packaging which is much easier and cheaper to modify. Let this be a lesson that there is no depth to which a lawyer will refuse to sink. Every aspect of what we do or what rule we write or what product we make should have a very pessimistic review done to evaluate worst case outcome.
Good! Its about time we started getting some productivity out of the tax money spent on incarceration. Maybe they should turn some of the higher security prisons into enclosed recycling centers and make the inmates process and refine recyclables on site. Surely it could make enough money to at least pay for some of the food and medical spent on the inmates.
While on the surface the argument has merit.. the problem is that Congress has already passed legislature to ensure that free market rules wont apply. Congress legislates monopolies all the time. First we have the 1994 telecom act that says 'since you claim there is no money in local service, we will let you into the LD markets if you open up all lines of local business at wholesale rates to your competitors'. Since that time the competition has proven there IS viable profit in local services (unlike LD that is getting cheaper all the time). So little by little, piece by piece, Congress carves out exclusions to the 1994 telecom act (FIOSS service, fiber networks, etc). With congress in such a hurry to give the entire telecom over to ATT, Verizon, and Comcast theres no chance that you can just go to a different service provider if you dont like their policies. Eventually there's just going to be 3 options and they will all conspire together to price fix and policy fix. Its just like what happened with the oil companies getting legislated into a super oil company, the banks getting legislated into super banks (now deemed too big to be allowed to fail), and up and coming telecoms merging into super-telecoms.
