    Any post/article with the word “slammed” in it gets a downvote and a no-read from me. That word needs to disappear from journalism/forums/life/etc.

      This is the one case where I’d make an exception. I read through the threads, it got particularly heated.

        As someone who creates custom domain name applications, FUCK THEM WITH A PINEAPPLE SPIKY SIDE FIRST. This problem is on par with timezones for needless complexity and communication disasters. Companys and advertisers are now adding man in the middle certs for additional data collection/visibility. If the ciphers not cracked, changing the certs exposes significantly more failure, than letting one get a little stale.
        Sysadmin used slam! It’s super effective!

      The Register is deliberately tabloid-like in style (right up to the “red top” site banner), but is good quality (at least when I read it).

      They won’t write an article about science without using the word “boffins” either. It’s just their thing.
