Why does everyone need more?
So many sites are read only with no exchange of data. No warning is needed for these.

It also increases costs and management overhead.
Does Fred Bloggs lyrics site need to be SSL? Probably not. But throwing a warning up is going to cause fear, uncertainty and doubt.

The people that buy 10, 20, 50 of these mispriced items and then bitch they didn't get their products....

That people will watch it instead of something else that is also for free, or doing something else that is free, is.

Why? It's one of the highest rated shows on TV and the cast get paid a lot of money to be in it. Whether you like it is irrelevant.

Yep, good luck managing dozens or hundreds of servers that only have vi on it.
Granted, it does matter what your use case is, but most boxes do not have emacs on it so the need to know that is a heck of a lot smaller in many cases.

manage servers, troubleshoot network connectivity issues, etc. etc.

anyway!

that war is over, and vi won

Now, as to interviewing people for IT, who will be working on *nix, asking "emacs or vi" used to be a teasing question, now you're lucky if they know what one or both are.

It's OK Citizen, if you're not doing anything wrong you have no need to worry.
Move along.

Sorry, Fire TV, no Kindle in the name
