I work for a small company that signs its code - pretty much required if you want to install in any enterprise these days.
Its a certificate chain - we purchase a cert from a provider such as Verisign. They request basic proof of identity - business registration, contact number etc. They create a cert for us signed by them. Their cert is signed by Microsoft.
We sign our app with our cert - anyone accessing the binary signed by us can verify it hasn't been alterated and our cert was signed by Verisign, which was signed by Microsoft.
Note that all this provides is proof that the exe was created by us. It in no way guareentees that we aren't distributing our own malware etc. But what it does provide is a way of tracing a exe back to the signer.
Not if verisign or microsoft was compromised and new fake certificates was signed with the compromised master keys. Like the case with Sony here.
and then there was Diablo 1. Very much a rogue game but with graphics!
No. It had random dungeon layout, but not random encounters or plots.
For those of us who are stuck using older browsers (FireFox v10 or IE6), even with SSL disabled and only TLS 1.0 enabled, will this be a problem?
As I said, stuck. I won't appreciate replies saying to upgrade my browser.
Yes, in fact it is ONLY you who are affected. This was discovered in old versions of NSS, which means old Firefox and Chromium versions.
So the banker molestation murder cults get away with their crimes. Not sure if a good or bad thing.
I bet if you had some quiet reflection and thought carefully about it, you could figure out whether or not child molestation & murder is a good or bad thing.
Unless you are somewhere down the sociopathy spectrum, in which case you might not.
Note I didn't include the part about children. Read what you comment on before commenting.
It is an avoidable risk, in that we can tell idiotic humans to stop flying quadcopters near planes, you fools!
Oh, just tell them to stop and that will solve the problem. How little some people know of human nature.
I think that falls under paper & pencil.
Unless it is in the bedroom.
Card games sound the coolest, making you think of movies, smoke, poker, baccarat, Bond.
And my grand mother, and her friends in the card club, etc..
Carewolf, your statements about chess engines are rubbish. As anyone with the slightest knowledge of them would immediately know.
So this doesn't exist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... or this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and Deep Blue didn't have 60000 games by chess-masters it used?
