- My first Amiga was an A500, eventually ended up with a chip RAM upgrade, an A520 20MB hard disk and some extra Fast RAM.
- I owned several Amigas in the early 90s, but I actually cried when I sold my A1200 to buy a 486 DX2 66! Why you may ask? Doom. It changed everything.
I mean, damn people who use a free thing that then get screwed, through no fault of their own, not wanting to be charged $25 for a part of the service that they would never need to use otherwise.
You're either free, or you're not -- StartSSL is a mish-mash of "free" and opportunistic costs.
"Class 1 certificates aren't revoked free because we receive too many requests
daily (specially for the Class 1 free certs) and would we have revoked them
all, our certificate revocation list (CRL) would have been blown out of every
proportion."
In a further back-and-forth, the admin proceeded to tell me how much bandwidth I would cause them (I don't even care about being added to a CRL for a personal domain).
Edit: Sorry, you did say a wildcard cert, which sounds like a paid cert, so would offer more "service" I'm guessing.
If you can't see the difference between someone holding a largish device (say, a phone), point it at you and record a video (hence, obviously snooping) versus same said person closing their eyes, pretending they're sleeping, having their head tilted in your direction and recording a video...
Then yeah, I guess you're the kind of creep this product might appeal to.
Disclaimer: I haven't seen the movie yet, in any format.
But I did see the clip of the Bilbo and Gollum scene played on Colbert the other week. Martin Freeman (who I've loved in other stuff, like Sherlock) was fucking terrible.
If the calibre of delivery is like that, I'm expecting unexpected rubbish. Even one of the scenes from McKellen Colbert played was pretty shit. Maybe I'm expecting too much from what is meant to be a kids book.
My point is, forget FPS -- if the acting is shit, nothing will help.
So how do we curb this voracious appetite of needing to get into every bit (data, apps, ads, other value adds) of being a telco?
I agree with what you're saying, but how do we get to a state where we can have "dumb pipes", yet have an open, privacy driven and easily user controllable OS on a device?
Is there an alternative to always needing to "add value"? Isn't earning our coin off carrier charges, data etc enough?
