I either don't remember or haven't heard this version. They think it's more probable that a deity manipulated probability? While that doesn't sound scientific to me, I'm intrigued. Do you have a link I could start with (yes, I'll google it for myself, but you seem to already know of the idea.)

> You're argument (viz. people just need to talk on their phones, and smaller is better)

I don't see that argument in the parent post. In fact, the opposite:

> the rest of the world uses it to call me, and it was smaller [...], and did more.

But you're right about third party apps.

Wait... who's putting that sticker on? You or the store?

Right now my browser combines the concepts of encrypted and authenticated into one value. Actually that's not always entirely true. Some modern browsers display a scary warning about something or other (self-signed certificates... when did those become bad? As long as they represent the domain in question they are fine but not according to browser makers).

Anyway, the point is that we need to get away from treating an SSL certificate as more than they are. Hell, I can create as many certificates as I want and engage in completely secure communications with whomever I choose.

Wow, I got completely bored with this and am going to post anyway.

Let's bring this site back under control of responsible adults. No one cares if the free service (note: SERVICE) you relied upon went belly up or just started hating you in particular. Like the parent I'm responding to, if the domain wasn't worth the going rate for you then you just couldn't justify having the domain.

"I'm partly to blame" my ass. You are entirely to blame. Grow up.

I can confirm that Netflix on the PS3 looks far better than my HD cable did.

When I want to see something with the best possible quality, I rent or buy the bluray disc.

Maybe cayenne8 has really great cable and they don't overcompress the streams in order to cram more channels in.

It was still black and white when I joined.

I am compelled to thank you for your post. I'm saddened by the number of people believing the rhetoric and statistics thrown about when the raw data doesn't support it.
