It's sending the "wrong" one --

> certs are never "renewed" but just reissued with new dates

This is correct.

> anki is good, but for some reason they have a self signed certificate on their site, which I haven't checked out yet, so I won't link to it

It's not self signed, it's the wrong domain (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain) HTTPS requests to ankisrs.net get a certificate for *.ankiweb.net, which is the domain the app uses for the sync web service.

An URL for the edification of others -- http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L00EJU6

(I have just purchased the book, and the problem mentioned in negative reviews about the text not matching the title seems to have been fixed.)

I recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/-/dp/0321877586

It focuses on the language, not any specific implementation. The examples all use the command-line compiler, not Visual Studio. So you would be able to use the Mono Development Kit.

Jails are run by counties or cities, and are for persons awaiting trial (i.e. not been convicted) or persons found guilty and serving short sentences.

Prisons are run by a state or by the Federal government, and are for holding persons who have been convicted of a crime and sentanced to a longer term.

> 1470 open issues

That's a really weak argument. Here's 5000 Firefox bugs:

The biggest recurring issue was deadlocks in the garbage collector. It would start cleanup in a subvolume and trip all over itself. After that, any I/O to that specific directory would never return. The only solutions was to reboot the server and fsck for a few hours.

Second frequent problem: Hitting 90% capacity in a filesystem has a non-trivial chance to ruin it forever. Hit the wrong code path, and, even if you immediately delete a bunch of things, I/O to that filesystem would be forever 3000% slower.

I've used btrfs (at several-petabytes-of-data scale) and wouldn't trust it any more than HFS+.

Use ZFS if you like, or XFS, or even ext4 instead.

> Though they provide RSA and DSA signatures how would I verify the signatures themselves?

Ideally, it goes something like this --

1. Start with the master keys. Download them from their website & import them into your keyring.

2. Fetch signatures for those keys from some key servers. (E.g. gpg --recv-keys 6A93B34E).

3. Examine the signatures (E.g. gpg --list-sigs 6A93B34E). Do you trust anybody in that list to have verified the ownership of the keys?

If "yes", then import the release keys and verify that _they_ have been signed by the master keys. You can use the release keys to verify the downloaded binary.

If "no", then you might recurse down those keys to see if you know anyone who signed any of _them_. At this point, you'll need to consider very carefully what your trust policy is going to be.

> Presumably in this editor "_" represents the "whole line" region, which leads to also "c_" and "y_".

That's not specific to this editor. In vim _ goes from the cursor to the end of the line (but does not include the newline at the end like $ does).
