I believe this is called "being mechanically minded". If you understand the physical rules and the components, you understand the inner workings. Good mechanics have this. Bad mechanics don't. Sadly being an auto mechanic pays little, but the skills are obvious in good programmers too.

Lots of Intel apologists in this thread. I for one am excited by the idea of healthy competition in the processor market.

So the register says it's a hoax because their chip contacts won't confirm it. However, those chip contacts are probably a little grouchy about the last coordinated boondoggle, so I doubt they would admit to or deny anything at this time.

Ah neopets.... your character limits forced me to ditch frontpage and actually learn how to make html with notepad.

ecommerce retailers would peer with them directly and the entertainment networks would then be left holding nothing.

Facebook is notorious for making those connections impossible when they are truly needed most. It's a marketing tool with aggressive filtering, not a family message board.

You will never achieve social justice with hate.

Maybe this will even lead to something good for everyone, like more ethical diversity practices.

I did, it asked me. Was I being given a "personalized" application perhaps?

It's a very good argument. Behavior that is ok for one group should be ok for another group, and viceversa. That is a truth of equality.

Ethnicity and gender are on their job application form.

My argument was that centralizing trust as a service is unsustainable. That's all.

They could. That would be a bit tricky though since http libs usually use the shared system cert store.

A root lets you make a valid cert for any domain. It can be used to create a man-in-the-middle attack if paired with a proxy.

This is how the system was meant to work. The irresponsibility of the centralized CA infra has been known for a little while now, and it's time to let the users see how shaky this trust model really is. Let them have certs that are actually made by the companies they trust instead of some stupid third party.
