No, really it was funny seeing you backtrack all over when really you just consider anyone who doubts your sincerity a douchebag. I mean, how dare they!
You seem to think that DNS names being exposed in TLS negotiation was an accident.
The purpose of DNS names being exposed by the SNI extension is to facilitate name-based virtual hosting. It is not to expose additional information to 3rd parties sniffing the line; that part was clearly an accident.
It can be fixed, and I see no reason why it won't be.
Other than from just about every firewall vendor... People like Cisco, Fortinet, PaloAlto, Checkpoint, etc and all the people who use their kit and who are currently widely "abusing" it.
There are legitimate reasons for some people being able to selectively block web traffic
If someone's abusing SNI information for censorship purposes, then that's yet another reason this needs to be fixed. No a 3rd party sniffing to identify names and tampering with or "blocking" SSL traffic is not legitimate, for any reason.
Ahhh, So it's just you that decides what is/isn't justified in common Internet implementations now. I'd always found the fact that there wasn't a central reference for all that to be sooo awkward. Good to know that you're on the job then.
You gotta just love people ignorant enough to think that knowledge of their culture means that they can generalise to other cultures. It's really comical.
Here's an example: How many continents are there? Seven right? Same thing in Spanish, right? Uhhh no. Google "cuántos continentes hay en el mundo" & you'll discover that Spanish speaking cultures generally only count five with no antarctica & Americas being one.
Your assumption that a Spanish speaking "Central" American or "South" American would distinguish himself from a "North" American is bunk. You, the English speaking person from the US would. They don't. Your idea that I am trying to introduce ambiguity into "American" is bunk. All along I've been saying that for most "Americans" there is no difference. I do not care that this may hurt your pride in being "the only real Americans".
Putty corrupts data when copying/pasting large amounts. I got tired of that screwing up network confs & moved to TeraTerm.
Funny how you move from ""SJW" is exclusively pejorative for the folks who use it". to only most people. I suppose there may be a slender ray of hope for you.
Who is arrogant? The more numerous Spanish speakers in the rest of the Americas ? Or the USA for assuming that American refers uniquely to those in the US. Apparently you consider it pedantry to point out that that people holding your opinion are in the minority.
Spent any significant time outside The US? I've been taken to task by people from other countries in the Americas for the USA's use of American to mean only US citizens. Travel some more and you'll see my point. You'll also use fewer US specific references like Miss SC.
Buddy also thinks that SJW is the same level of pejorative as douchebag so you may want to take that into account when reading anything he writes. Read his initial post. It is illuminating.
Nope, the problem is that Windows does not have task aggregation like Grand Central Dispatch so the CPU is constantly getting interrupted & never actually spends much time in low power states. Read the article I linked. Driver non-optimisation is not the problem, less OS optimisation in Windows is.
So you were a OS X dev for years until recently yet you think that "Driver lever changes" can bring OS X's power management to Windows? You don't even know what Grand Central Dispatch is but you were an OS X Dev? Serious credibility problems there. You're a troll. Ta, ta
Read the article that I linked. Grand Central Dispatch & other optimisations that Apple has brought to OS X are what makes the difference in Battery life. It goes far beyond mere driver optimisation. The entire GUI stack has changed & you cannot bring equivalent optimisations to other OSs by "optimising the drivers".
The level of ignorance ("it's a driver optimisation problem) & bias ("thats why I've abandoned Apple") you display are unfortunately all too common.
Really... So that middle word in UAE is some completely different word that is just spelled the same. Of course it's everybody else that is ignorant & you are here to teach everyone else that Arab doesn't mean Arab.
As for your brilliant conclusion that I'm an ignorant American, eh bien non mais mes potes Moroccains, Tunisians et Algerians vont trouver cela hilarant.
Nope: It only becomes pejorative when the actions of the people it is used to describe are in the majority condemnable - a point that repeatedly flies way over your narrowly focused head.
My initial exposure to the term was long ago and in the context of people like Ghandi & MLK & Mandela. All admirable SJWs.
It's when it's been used since to describe zealots like you who equate any resistance to your methods with being the worst kind of racist/sexist/...ist that it becomes pejorative.
Snort, Selective memory? At the same points in time Windows is/was also a "huge piled-on mess".
To your Classical MacOS I reply Windows Me.
To your preemptive Windows NT I reply A/UX.
Need I compare OS X & Vista? Windows 8?
There are/were piled on messes on both sides.
