Most web sites run on name-based virtual hosts. This allows multiple web sites to use the same instance of the web server (Apache, IIS, etc.), reducing costs.
This presents a chicken-an-egg problem with TLS/SSL (the encryption used for https).
When the web server receives the initial request from the browser, it sends back a certificate for it's domain that says to the browser, "Yes, I am really where-ever.com, because I paid money to GoDaddy, Comodo, Verisign or whoever and they'll corroborate."
The problem is, when that first request comes in, and you are using TLS/SSL and name-based virtual hosting, the server can't read what domain name was requested to present the correct certificate. You haven't finished negotiating the TLS/SSL connection yet, so you can't read the URI embedded in the request.
So, you need a different IP for each domain that you are going to serve (IP addresses are becoming rare) or use some other hack to accomplish this.
Do you remember this: http://tech.slashdot.org/story/09/08/22/1246248/Google-Brings-SVG-Support-To-IE ?
I remember when Google announced the svgweb javascript library to enable SVG support in IE. That sort of reinforced the notion that Microsoft was playing catch-up in the browser technology arena. Microsoft is now, at least trying, I think, to present the appearance that Google is the company that is behind. Not to mention it doesn't hurt MS to have value added to Chrome when it runs on Windows. They're not going to make this happen for Chrome running on GNU/Linux.

I don't know whether school lunch programs actually increase student performance or not. It is unconscionable that children go hungry while others eat in front of them, so I consider the programs necessary.
The three of my four kids who are in school take a lunch box. One of them is overweight, and we found out he was spending his allowance on a la carte junk food in the cafeteria line, particularly ice cream bars.
Frankly, there isn't any reason for the junk food to be there in the first place. I was astonished to find out that the school policy is to not enforce parents' requests to not allow children to buy junk food in the cafeteria.
It's not realistic for most parents to be with their kids all the time. It takes a village to raise a child. I don't think secret PIN numbers are necessary to help kids eat better in school. I think we just need to get the junk food out of the cafeteria. If parents *want* their kids eating crap, put it in the lunch box, but don't try to sell it to my kids while I'm not looking. I don't think we should expect teachers or lunch workers to be food police. Get the bad food out so they don't have to deal with it and parents don't have to worry about it.
