What you may not have considered is that people like even less when someone complains about trivial problems during their wealthy upbringing. "Mother! The staff is whinging again!"

I only object to what appeared to be magic. Now that I know there will be a setup it seems practical and useful. This is a great idea for exploring data, I hope you are wildly successful.

Are there any well-known purveyors? I've been thinking of developing components to sell recently and was looking for some examples of what's already on the market to compare and contrast.

I think it's going to take work from an integrator in all cases... How is it going to translate "developers free on Friday that know Javascript" into the three-way table join that you are asking for unless you first define "know" and "free"

"Mansplaining". But if we had a specific term to tell women their opinions were invalid simply because they were women, that would be sexist. I want to agree with your comment but the misandry makes me feel angry instead.

I sure hope we'd be smarter about it this time. I envision something more like the average user chooses from, i.e., Canonical and Microsoft, while a more technical user would choose one of those and also install his own self-signed root as

1. A company you trust is acceptable as a CA. Nowhere did I say it had to be a company. I said users pick the CA's they trust. 2. If they want to distribute it with that CA. Nowhere did I say CA's must require payments. Yes a CA gets a say

I think all sites annoy me and hog my resources :) I like rejecting everything and then temporarily allowing sites that require it if I really think it would be useful.

Ghostery is supposed to help you avoid tracking but is owned by Evidon ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidon ) so I feel like they have quite the conflict of interest.

Installing NoScript freed up like 20% of my CPU time. Now I just need websites to stop failing ungracefully.

Sounds like they need a better sandbox :) Signing does matter. Those may still be exploitable to run arbitrary code, but you cannot write code to disk that will get executed on start-up. The victim would have to open the same PDF every time

Whatever the CA sets as the barrier. Users can pick whatever CA they trust or whatever CA their technical friends and family recommends they trust.

They cannot, but they can revoke certificates from malware developers after the fact. And requiring a developer program would vastly reduce the number teenagers tricking people into installing a thing. Allowing self-signed roots would let m

Users shouldn't install self-signed root certs unless they trust that root with access to all of their computer.

No, signed binaries are wonderful for users. Centralised CA's and not allowing self-signed roots are the only thing that would be objectionable.

I hate OS X's implementation. They need to allow third-party CA's. I don't want to choose between what Apple allows developers to do and "fuck it let it run free and do whatever it likes". Nor do I want the global choice in System Preferenc

"all users can install trusted root certificates" doesn't reject the notion of self-signed roots.

You can trust exactly no one to secure your stuff, that's why you should encrypt it and have multiple backups at different sites (some of which might be cloud). Problem solved.

Both are true IMO, we really need to be vigilant about whether we can install our own certs or not.

The NSA wants mathematicians to work on cryptanalysis and cryptosystems. These ratters seem pretty far from having any skills whatsoever if they need a book to help them get John and Jane Q. Averageuser to run their malware.

Hopefully in the future when all users can install trusted root certificates and only run software that is signed by a descendent we won't have this bullshit.

As posted a couple of days ago it seems like the only penalty of perjury matter is that you are the copyright holder or can legally represent the copyright holder. I also don't see what would stop someone from sending thousands of DMCA take

Oh, hey, I remember being angered by that story. That was a UK case and so hopefully it's irrelevant to the US. The US is IMO more reasonable than that with respect to parody and imitation. LayerVault should have gotten a design patent. Tha

I think it's more like, look at openssl, the crypto Swiss army knife. How is a regular person going to use that? But if someone did just asymmetrical key encryption with one algorithm and then spent time engineering it so that a normal

If I click an unsubscribe link and it doesn't instantly unsubscribe me, I don't bother with the process, I just mark all future mails from that domain as spam.

Are you seriously questioning that there's interest? I come here for the few links to tech articles with high signal:noise ratios. There are perhaps one or two a day. Judging by what just got posted, please assume you can post anything abou

That's exactly what is new, though. A couple of years ago they had much higher quality computers (and the RAM wasn't glued in). Every time I see a post on here about Apple I mention this: I think they are pushing to get into the market of p

Actually, I think there was a book about this, like where people were arrested for thinking about crimes, something like that. Except a lot of those Japanese probably weren't even thinking it.

This guy seems like a douche. If anyone dares to complain that their mail app is being discontinued ( http://mattgemmell.com/2012/07/21/entitlement-and-acquisitio... ) they get criticised, but making copies and circumventing copy protecti
