Which made me wonder why Disney would need an semiconductor manufacturing company? Especially one without a fab.
Yes, that's right - not all slashdotters care about comics.

You seem to be able to disable root CAs in firefox. In "preferences" > "advanced" > "view certificates" > "authorities". FreeSSL is in there, listed as "startcom ltd". I guess we might all want to remove that now?

Submission + - Scientific Savvy? In U.S., Not Much (nytimes.com) 1
Raver32 writes: "When Jon D. Miller looks out across America, which he can almost do from his 18th-floor office at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago, he sees a landscape of haves and have-nots — in terms not of money, but of knowledge.
Dr. Miller, 63, a political scientist who directs the Center for Biomedical Communications at the medical school, studies how much Americans know about science and what they think about it. His findings are not encouraging.
Dr. Miller's data reveal some yawning gaps in basic knowledge. American adults in general do not understand what molecules are (other than that they are really small). Fewer than a third can identify DNA as a key to heredity. Only about 10 percent know what radiation is. One adult American in five thinks the Sun revolves around the Earth, an idea science had abandoned by the 17th century."

1sockchuck writes: "The web site for tomorrow's Live Earth concert series is being hosted at a solar-powered data center that uses 120 solar panels to generate DC power. AISO.Net is one of a small number of hosts that use solar power to provide electricity for their data centers (as opposed to buying clean energy credits, a common practice among hosts that market their "green" operations). Even with the current focus on energy efficiency, using solar power for data centers remains a challenge due to issues with cost and capacity."
