1) SSL certificates are not free
2) SSL key exchanges are horribly expensive compared with serving a web page
3) Right now EVERY web site would require a unique IP address
Enough reasons?

Nobody buys a Ferrari or Lambo to get an ultra reliable sports car. Nor do they buy them to get an easy/comfortable to drive car.
Maybe a more apt comparison would be an Acura to a Chevy.
How much more direct could a confirmation be? The only question is the veracity of the anonymous source.
They haven't gotten anyone who knows to confirm it... only people who are also speculating.
Note that "an American expert in nuclear intelligence" would specifically not be someone who works in the gov't- If they could claim an anonymous official source they would.
Lately I just feel sorry for you.
Thanks! It's nice to know someone cares.
In this case whoever did it seems to have averted war at least for a few years.
Indeed- all they have confirmed is that people think the US and Israel did it...
The only new bit in the article (to me) was that they think Israel successfully managed to set up a bunch of P1 style centrifuges and test the worm...
If we're going here then I'd say Citrix Receiver is far more the 'killer app' since road warriors are not using VNC, sorry...

This might have been true in 1997 but it's certainly not anymore.
The most effective DDoS attacks are layer 7 attacks.
It is pretty easy to deal with layer 4 attacks, trivially so to deal with layer 3 attacks.
For DDoS attacks the harder to differentiate between an attacker and legitimate user the harder it is to protect against.
Besides never being allowed on an airplane again- even after you get out of federal prison?
It's only a "gross violation" if you are forced to do it. There is an opt-out.
Your opt-out is to have someone actually touch you in a way that anywhere else (save while under arrest) would result in punching or macing the attacker. This isn't because you failed a non-invasive screening procedure, it's because you don't want to take your clothes off.
Maybe I'm just shamelessly immodest, but I support these scanners if they can be shown to speed up the process of checking in.
It is literally an order of magnitude slower than standard screening. You have to stand still with your arms raised for at least 15 second after they start the scan. Then you need to stand and wait for the "all clear" over the radio. Or you need to wait for someone to take like a minute to make a rucus about you opting out and then explain the procedure you're about to go through.
We live in a world where airplanes attract way more than their fair share of terrorism - we need to accept that fact. We can't pretend that people won't try to bomb airplanes, even if there are much easier ways to kill people.
Nobody has proved that an undergarment bomb can be effective at bringing down an airliner. Besides what stops an up the ass or breast implant based device?
This is what we need for the DNS system - a decentralized distributed directory.
Oh wait that's EXACTLY WHAT IT IS! Notice how there was no outage because the H-root was down.
And like sibling jojoba points out- p2p DNS would be HORRIBLE from a trust perspective.
Ignore armanox- he is obviously confused about his setup. Unless he has some uber exotic display device there is no way it's from 1992 and decodes ATSC without an issue...
Exactly the right way to look at it.
After 17+ years on the Internet I don't have many 'firsts' anymore... This was one of them though!
Troll or not, there's probably a reason he's being detained in Kuwait instead of one of our fine Federal cities in the U.S. I'll give you a hint - it isn't the great sand and sun they want him in Kuwait for.
Ok, first, he's probably being held in Kuwait because he was stationed in Iraq at the time he was taken into custody. I really don't think it's for the reasons you think it is.
More importantly the OP asked why he was held without charge, not held in Kuwait, ok?
