A self signed certificate would be fine for most of what HTTPS Everywhere does.

End to end encryption is for stuff that really matters, not facebook and other crap that's public to the internet anyway.

I don't give a rats ass if somebody else in the cafe also wants to know the weather, or also wants to read about Linux concepts...

Don't use unsecured wireless for sensitive stuff.

It's pretty simple, you can often force https simply by typing it in the address bar, if the site has some kind https cert set up, it'll bring you to a secured version of the site. https://twitter.com/ works and brings to twitter securely, as it does for many mail sites. All you have to do is add a character the html string, which isn't that complicated. For it to really be secure, the server administrator has to secure their site.

and because students can not always afford to keep their computers in working order (especially if their computer has a hardware problem), they need access to college maintained computers as a temporary backup should their personal computer fail. Even 12 hours without access to a working computer could be disastrous if it's the wrong 12 hours. All students having computers, and all students having working computers all the time are different things.

Mac? I thought material goods were impure...

I've run XP SP3 on 256MB RAM before, it worked fine. None of the machines at my office have more that 512MB Ram, and they're all current, running XP SP3 and IE7 (but IE is disabled on most of them, with Firefox set as default). They run fine, so long as they're kept clean, however crapware and tracking cookies slow them down if they're not maintained well.

SUSE, like Windows is slow on a machine with 512MB RAM, I'm going try installing Ubuntu to see if that's better. KDE is crabby like Vista, Gnome is much better (and that's on a laptop with 1GB RAM).

Naked pictures of yourself on the internet won't invite public ridicule?

Getting a cell phone without a camera isn't easy these days.

It's the other way around. They turned to crime in a good economy, and their crimes wrecked the economy.

If that's how you treat women, no wonder you can't get any. That goes for all of you.

Driver: Learn to drive you motherfucking asshole.
Car: Please clam down, your aggravation is safety hazard.
Driver: Fuck you Car! If you don't shut the fuck up I'm going to drive you into something.
Car: That would not be advisable, attempting that may result in property damage and injury.
Driver: Want to see... (Then slams car into a tree, in an attempt to teach the car a lesson)

By 11PM?

What about those who are so bright they can do the problem drunk? It should have levels.

Did you ever read the post I was responding to?

That's a new one. /sarcasm
