> So, what do you intend to do during that extra second added to that day? Well, you may want to fix your systems.
Nah, I am just going to going to set my watch during that extra second.
I prefer to always carry a safe file in my pockets. I allowed me to open a few.
I don't think he is. The Concorde had a weakness that was discovered only in one of the last flight.

>Thirdly, "bought" 30 million certs?
Oh and yes, that's why we were both laughing our hearts out and calling shenanigan at the same time. As I wrote in my OP, I would have been glad to generate those certs for them for 10,000$ instead of the 30,000,000$ they spent. But hey, a buck a piece for certs is a great deal, isn't it?

I would have been glad to provide it to them for 10,000$ and guess what? All privaye keys were kept centrally
The big thinkers/marketing guys decided that it was just to complicated for citizens to manage and keep their secret key in a secure location.
Very nice thoughts. Just to let you know, English ain't my mother tongue.
It would still be English, it is how it evolved.
