PayPal have already tried the credit card thing, not that popular it seems.

That and they'd have to set up their own payment network to avoid MasterCard and VISA, or convince AMEX to carry them...

Amazon certainly do get that "luxury" as its how they are currently screwing over people in the UK for VAT on ebooks.

Amazon collect VAT from UK residents for ebooks, however as they are "based" in Luxembourg they remit a VAT rate of ZERO, so the VAT they collect is pure profit.

Its not contempt of court when you do what the court ordered.

And ordering Apple to say that Samsung didn't copy them when 2 other court cases (and anyone that has ever looked at their product) say different is a little rich.

If you are reducing this to getting your child to apologize, then the moment Samsung apologize for copying and free-riding from the work of Apple, /then/ you can start looking for Apple to back down.

I'd suggest you re-read the Court's wording. It matches /exactly/ with Apple's notice.

Then underneath the Court's mandated wording, Apple have repeated some facts. It says quite a bit about your bias that you seem to resent the facts they quoted...

Why don't you repeat all the ways they didn't comply? I cannot see anything that they did not comply with.

And whilst Apple may be hated by you, the rest of us grown-ups realize that all companies are good and bad and Apple are just reacting to Samsung copying a design that Apple popularized. That and Samsung trying to gouge other companies using FRAND patents.

Without SNI you can only have one certificate per IP address as the certificate is sent to the client before the client can send the Host: header to indicate which site he is trying to access.

The only way around this (apart from using SNI) is either wildcard certs or SAN attributes.

Once the server has sent the certificate the client will check to see if the certificate matches the DNS name it is attempting to access (either CN or SAN), however this is done by the client without the server knowing which DNS name the client is looking for. Hence the SNI requirements.

You do realize that DWP were assigned the addresses by IANA before RIPE even existed!

RIPE have no ability to take these IP addresses back as they have no contractual agreement with DWP.

You have confused the solaris examples a little.

The 5 is the version of SunOS and Solaris started at version 2 (The SVR 4 version of SunOS) with Solaris 1 retroactively meaning SunOS 4.

So Solaris 2.4 is SunOS 5.4, then after 2.6 SUN dropped the 2.x bit to leave Solaris 7 (which is SunOS 5.7) and Solaris 8/9/10/11 being SunOS 5.8/5.9/5.10/5.11 etc.

It doesn't need to prompt before booting as it will only decrypt sensitive files once the passcode has been input. It is able to boot and connect to the cell towers without needing your passcode, however to get access to *your* data on the phone, it will need the passcode to get access to the decryption key and thus the files.

If you want encrypted backups then set the flag via the MDM server or profile to *force* encrypted backups...

Or set the file to be non-backup and handle the encryption and backup yourself in your app. Its not hard, we do it with our Online Banking app. No data can leave the device unencrypted with our app.

The only issue I have with ZFS is that I managed to loose 5 years worth of data when my Solaris 10 server had a power outage and my ZFS pool wouldn't mount again. "The pool metadata is corrupted and the pool cannot be opened"

Not even opening it on Solaris 11 and attempting to force mount it worked. And yes I know its my own stupid fault for not having a backup. Still it does make me a little shy now of using ZFS again.

You mean MVS (as in now called zOS) not VMS which is the ex Digital / Compaq OpenVMS.

zOS / MVS is IBM not HP....

No, but eating vegan's might :-)

iOS has on device encryption and a whole set of encryption keys so different data can be protected with different classifications like decrypt only after PIN unlock or decrypt only on this device (and not on the backups).
