Due to the features of public-key cryptography, we could let Google mirror all the small parties and still be sure that the information comes from them and is up to date. I don't see this as a valid argument.

Well, if it comes to Flash updates, you might prefer Chrome which seamlessly upgrades itself and the used Flash package in the background. On the downside, slight UI changes might happen with new Chrome versions. Also Linux is still an opti

Not in case of security, but you get likely more trust from your visitors. Also might include some assurance thing you can use or advertise with. But I wouldn't say it has any bad influence if it's missing, as long as you aren't a payment p

It doesn't matter in any way. Especially it has no influence on security. A cert that works works. You might be interested in additional features like EV for the green/blue address bar or a assurance. But that's not the point.

There is no real bad or insecure option. Just make sure the CA is supported by all the platforms / browser you need and that the price is fair. Additionally you may check that their revocation servers have a good internet connection since b

It it is an obvious failure, and a general 90% discount clearly is, contracts may be canceled at any time. Additionally, if you read the terms, online orders are often just a request and need to be approved by the other contract partner fir

I don't really agree that this is a good way. 90% discount is obviously a mistake and it is more than their right to cancel those orders. I would fully understand that. Processing those orders doesn't seems that fair to me. Same rare people

3d transition with css (even if it's a 2d move) might help since this may use the GPU. Also make sure it isn't nested in too many elements since chances will cause rerendering the DOM elements up to the root. It isn't that bad and at least

Your website sucks 30-35% of one of my CPU cores. Likely that's the parallax cloud effect since it's only happening when the tab is visible. You may optimize that.

XMPP is used for Facebook Messager, Google Talk and even WhatsApp. Just WhatsApp adds proprietary options to it and does some weird key exchange on first signup. So there is e.g. no chance to log in from your computer or simultaneously runn

A lot of companies make profit by selling SSL as an pro feature. Just look at all those services where SSL login is only available at a certain cost level. (And using SSL only for the login form is a joke, too.) It's a shame that these are

Well, if you double-click on a html file on your computer, it will open that in your browser using file://. If you use the short `//example.com/foo.bar`, it is quite problematic. `//fonts.googleapis.com/css` becomes `file://fonts.googleapis

Hint: Local testing/loading of html files might require a local server then, since file:// is then used for resources, too, and this is rather problematic.

Again, if you embed non-SSL content into a SSL website, you are obviously doing something wrong. Regex in CSS can be used to guess page content. Also CSS can load SVG which may include JavaScript.

You really care about that? Well, relative URLs (and maybe using a basename meta tag) might be a workaround. But seriously, I wouldn't care about these Microsoft's bugs.

Just always use the https version then. There is nothing wrong in embedding https resources in http. `//` is just shorter and more flexible (e.g. you could switch of ssl if you want).

Watch out. Does curl check the key chain against any key store? I bet not.
