The problem is that there aren't enough IPv4 IP address for this. Each SSL cert requires an IP address. So if you have 200 sites on one virtual setup with one IP, only one of them can have the SSL. The connection needs to be established bef

In Chrome and IE its one or two clicks. I don't know why people tolerate Firefox's silly "ZOMG THIS SSL CERT MIGHT BE WRONG" 90-click UI. Joe Averge is still going to run through the clicks. Badgering the user with more prompts has been sh

I was thinking the same thing. If degree is a meaningless checkbox for most jobs then someone will serve the market for meaningless degrees. There really should be some kind of free on-line federal school for the underprivileged that would

Yep, there goes my PDAnet tethering. There goes the unsubsidized phone pricing for those of us who buy our own phones. There goes the $49 data-only plan. There goes the HSPA+ roll out since AT&T will probably stop this and just move to

I'm sure there's a lack of women or blind people or people who can't speak or write English. The thing overly-PC types don't want to address is that certain fields attract certain types. Geeky males in tech, women and gay men in fashion, e

The best thing about that site is that if you visit it using IE6 you get a script error.

The bit about the patent is a little depressing. I wonder how many novel bits of technology were shuttered because some big company had some similar patent that they'll never use outside of lawsuits and as an asset for mergers and acquisiti

Yeah, it didn't save this guy from getting fired and it only made life harder on a another guy who he's never met. The whole "stick it to the man" mentality is childish and its shameful that this strategy is so common in software developme

If one of the worst earthquakes on record can't break the containment vessel in these old plants, then I think we're actually doing very well.

Naww, but soon they'll have more people with lung cancer from breathing all that burning coal and oil for energy. I think this is a political move that is going to help in the next election. The "greens" will see this as a handout to them a

Most likely these are natural bar changes that are happening anyway. The glass or the "magic sticker that goes on your battery" just fools you into believing confirmation bias.

This is questionable. A couple stray observations for the boffins at HN: 1. Confirmation bias. Sure it works, because when it doesn't we don't think about it or publicize it on the net. 2. Glass holder removes your big meaty hand from the e

I'm not seeing how bureaucracy and "licensed professionals" hired from the for-profit insurance industry to maintain their codes is better than doing the same in government. In fact, I would argue that the government alternative is superior

Decent building codes don't necessarily stop economic growth. Housing is slightly more expensive and it takes more capital to build, but its really not 2 or 10x the price of an unsafe home. Heck, some safer designs are cheaper than unsafe

I doubt these bots can handle the redirect request. Its js and I don't see why someone would code to support it. Maybe someone better informed than me can say whether curl or wget respect redirect by default.

I think ChromeOS suffers from the same problem Linux desktop advocates suffers from - the assumption that the end user just uses "email, a browser, and nothing else." That's almost never true. Whats true is that each user only uses 10% of t

The UAC runs in a context called the protected desktop. When the UAC is active things like this won't work. Your program won't be able to press "Okay" or anything. Secondly, non-admin users can't install most drivers and autorun will ask th

I'm tall and am/was arguably somewhat good looking. I don't get many, if any, advantages from this because I grew up as and am a pretty serious geek. Now that I'm older I have better social skills, but because of how I turned out I never go
