This is the flaw with the implementation and use case of SSL certificates. Unfortunately they have been marketed as a way to do two completely separate tasks:
1) verify a site is authentic and 2) encrypt the data in transit.
This should never have happened, particularly as Google et al. decided that 2) was the important bit and they would enforce this upon everyone whether they needed it or not.
An SSL certificate / HTTPS link tells you nothing about point 1) - arguably it never has done (even with fully verified certificates). People need to be educated that just because the site is "secure" it doesn't mean it is legitimate.
Not strictly true - that SPF records says to treat a failed result as suspicious, not to reject it, so email servers will accept it and usually treat it as having a higher spam rating.
Big Bang is a "socially accepted theory" just like the geocentric model or spontaneous generation used to be.
Next generation telescopes launched in the next 10 years will determine the Big Bang is false, just another human-friendly creationist theory dressed up in 20th century scifi.
And that will be science doing what it's supposed to do. Coming up with theories of how things work and testing them all the time, trying to disprove them. When something is found not to work, new evidence is used to come up with a better model.
Contrast with religion.
Quite. Welcome to marketing, where the language is both very precise and very loose at the same time.
A point in case, does:
"A first for Company X"
Mean that Company X is the first in the world to do something, or just that this is the first time they have done it, and others may have been doing it for years...
Plenty of corporate Windows-only shops that this at least gives another option to.
Meanwhile, in the real world, most systems are not CPU bound but IO bound. If Power8 lives up to the hype, it's a very interesting prospect.
Summary: go back to Call of Duty.
That was the previous model, this one goes to 12...
There's no need to make a big deal of it.
Not in the UK it isn't. Hyundai are the other way round, but I believe this is a Far East thing, not a RHD thing.
Why not do what the UK does and use a separate piece of paper for each, and maybe vote on fewer things at any one time?
Say "twenty-three-skiddoo" to logout.
