so it might still scare people away, and rightfully so: normal folks cannot distinguish a self signed certificate from a malicious used one f.e. used in phishing attempts.
while I enjoyed the 2nd expendables for its rather funny moments, the 3rd one takes itself very serious. with the lack of comedic moments, it's really just a dull action movie with a dumb story and annoying "characters".
seems to me that it really depends on the service quality of the ISP. if you're lucky and have a good ISP, wouldn't using its servers be faster (less hops)? are there other arguments for using different servers?
June 15th, 2011 – The HTTP Archive becomes part of the Internet Archive [0], adding data about the performance of websites to our collection of web site content.
I didn't know that they also maintain the "HTTP Archive", showing website latency over time as well as some interesting live-statistics: http://httparchive.org/
I can now see the reasoning behind it - many people I know do not actively use the url bar except for searching. even when they want to check their facebook or favorite website, they just enter "facebook" in the url and use the (google) search results to get where they want to. for such users, the search box is much more important than the url itself, so why waste the UI space...
Legal challenges by Peter Junger and other civil libertarians and privacy advocates, the widespread availability of encryption software outside the U.S., and the perception by many companies that adverse publicity about weak encryption was limiting their sales and the growth of e-commerce, led to a series of relaxations in US export controls, culminating in 1996 in President Bill Clinton signing the Executive order 13026 transferring the commercial encryption from the Munition List to the Commerce Control List. Furthermore, the order stated that, "the software shall not be considered or treated as 'technology'" in the sense of Export Administration Regulations. This order permitted the United States Department of Commerce to implement rules that greatly simplified the export of commercial and open source software containing cryptography, which they did in 2000.

to be fully usable for me, there are some features missing:
- it lacks manual editing/correcting possibilities: i've tried to create an api for http://akas.imdb.com/calendar/?region=us with "date", "movie", "year". unfortunately, it failed to group the date (title) with the movies (list entries) but rather created two separate, unrelated collections (one for the dates, one for the movies).
- it lacks the ability to edit an api, the recommended way is to delete and recreate.
small bugreport: there was a problem saving the api, or at least i was told saving failed - it nevertheless seems to be stored stored in my account
EDIT: this comment was made under the original title "Calculated Risk: Will Google Kill my Blog on December 6th? (calculatedriskblog.com)"
you might be able mitigate the problem by upgrading to a google apps business account and receive support through it. i've used their email support through a paid apps account several time, the problems were always resolved promptly.
- calculated based on hourly rate instead of monthly salary
- bottom is defined as the top hourly wage of the bottom 10% wages (1:12 => ~1:14)
- bottom wages: 40hrs/week vs top wages: 60hrs/week (~1:14 => ~1:21)
one pro-bill study therefore calculated only 2500 persons would be affected; their cut salaries would be almost entirely spent on new jobs; only minor insurance/tax losses ; and no company would leave Switzerland - all of which was wishful thinking at best.
