The journalist is the pretentious one. Like the dude saying football instead of soccer was something out of 18th century England... Soccer is how it's called, in the journalist opinion. Damn Americans...

And therein lies the problem... no?

If the Chinese don't have it, the Mossad does. The fear is real. Maybe StartSSL was only a Mossad front to collect valid/real identities from around the world to use on covert ops.

He said he used 127.0.0.1 for google analytics. I was asking why he used 127.0.0.1 and not 0.0.0.0, exactly for the reasons you wrote. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Yet, somehow, all those persons have no problem at all using facebook, but ordering something from some online shop, do a google search to solve some problem, or even read the Help menu on some software is out of the question for them... It seems they have their priorities all mixed up.

Honest question. why use 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0?

EDIT: Now I've read the discussion below regarding this matter. No need to answer, I guess. I asked before reading all the comments, sorry.

I love it when people tell me they don't want to learn to use a computer because they don't need to. Then they come to me and ask me to solve their inability to read instructions... Sometimes I get mad at them... If they want to use computers they better learn to work with them. Or pay for the maintenance. It seems they don't wish to do either.
