Haha very funny. Just one problem: none of my spam actually has anything to do with that. Most of it has something to do with HARP, energy independence, diabetes, saving on mortgages and losing weight. I assume these are things Americans worry about.

Seriously though, I will be doing business in China and need Chinese domain names. I honestly don't know who a reputable .cn registrar is. Hosting isn't a problem.

It makes you vulnerable to MITM attacks, since when you connect to your camera, you can't be sure it's actually yours and not just another device with the same well-known certificate/key.

It means that if you use a key exchange mechanism that encrypts the session keys with the server key then someone who's extracted the private key from one of these can decrypt communications with any of the cameras using the same certificate/key.

If you use a key exchange mechanism with forward secrecy, extracting the private key wouldn't allow Eve to decrypt all your communications.

Cities don't license plumbers, painter, interior decorators, electricians, doctors, lawyers, nannies, or nurses. Even though these people need much more training.

In Australia, plumbers, electricians, doctors, nannies and nurses all need to be licensed. You're talking out your arse or you live in the wild west.

And you know why there was no good third-party content? Because the console was hard to squeeze maximum performance out of, but Sega didn't give anyone development libraries for it - just gave you a book of specs and left you to work it out. They went in the complete opposite direction with the Dreamcast - they gave you great libraries and almost no specs, so it was more like, here's the API, ignore what's behind it. You can't really say they were incapable of learning.
