Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't everyone pushing javascript AFTER the lolkittens so the user sees the content before interacting with it ?

Well I see the rainbow effect when looking at such projectors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Light_Processing.
And I also see the new cars backlight LED flickering which can be quite annoying while driving.

I can see when a CRT is set at 60Hz and even a faint flickering at 70Hz.
Same as these LED lights blicking everywhere.

And yet you fail to give an accurate example of something that breaks on multiple platforms because "char" is probably the most stable type in C.

And btw in C you have intXX_t and uintXX_t types now.

Does SSL Validation Matter? 0

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Thursday August 04 2011, @08:41PM

An anonymous reader writes "Right now, in an email list excluded from the public eye some bright people are discussing the future of SSL. At debate is (a) do they allow DV (domain only validation) certificates to continue to exist (exist for e-commerce use? only encryption use?) or do they require a higher degree of certificate validation? (b) Do they allow certificates to be issued with non-unique common names (certificates used on internal networks, think your exchange server) or do they ban the practice? If this were 'hypothetically' a heated debate going on right now and you could chime in, what would you say? Hypothetically. I would love to hear from the slashdot community."
