  • Except those hard drives that had a picture of the jumper positions on the sticker, and it’s not clear which end is pin 1, so you have to play around with it until it works.

    Is it not working cause the jumper is in the right spot? Is the drive bad? Is a BIOS setting not right? Is that kink in the cable a problem?











  • The point is, if the certificate gets stolen, there’s no GOOD mechanism for marking it bad.

    If your password gets stolen, only two entities need to be told it’s invalid. You and the website the password is for.

    If an SSL certificate is stolen, everyone who would potentially use the website need to know, and they need to know before they try to contact the website. SSL certificate revocation is a very difficult communication problem, and it’s mostly ignored by browsers because of the major performance issues it brings having to double check SSL certs with a third party.
