There are a few options here:
1) Your Significant Other is looking over your shoulder.
2) Your nose has increased in length by several feet.
3) You have never met Herself.

"Man in the middle" should not be confused with "middleman".
The former implies(if you are a man), that you are generally f*****, a rock between a hard place, between the devil and the deep blue sea, etc.  Also, being the man in the middle, between two women, means you are usually talked over, around, and under, as the women participate in idle chatter. Unless they are very, very attractive, avoid this situation, and if not avoidable, earplugs are recommended.
Middleman usually means that you do the f***ing, as you create delays, add cost, and provide essentially no added value.

It's only man-in-the-middle if there are two girls.

I still prefer to have one of the girls in the middle.

Auto spelling correction often turns a typo into a different word.

It says "Too busy: [...] two busy". Apparently the reports know how it's spelled. There's just a lot of too's and two's in the article

Well...is it the Daily Fail, so you have to make allowances.
But I'm surprised they didn't mention that Diana was murdered by immigrants who clubbed her to death with lowered house prices and bird flu - they normally do...

I actually had to check if the paper was called the Daily Fail (like The onion)
In our country its "How to lose weight", "How to save money" "Snakes to watch out for" etc. But the funny thing is that the newspapers in this country gets hefty subsidies from the government. Go figure, so some comedians asked if they should not fund the IKEA catalog as well, as they would also have some of the same information.

It's the inflammatory BS that I don't like -- it's quite easy to "cut to the bone" in parts of the arm where the bone is right underneath the skin, and I'm pretty sure I could manage a two-inch-long shallow cut (requiring only *ten* stitches) with a cheese knife, let alone a chainsaw.

I cut my finger "to the bone" with a scalpel while trimming some parts on an Airfix kit back when I was about 13. It bled a bit so I washed it with diluted Dettol, squeezed the cut shut and wrapped a band-aid tightly over it. No stitches, no ambulance, minimal delay to my important model-making task! I mentioned it to my mother a few hours later, she looked at it, put a fresh plaster on it and that was it - I still have the scar.

I did the same thing with a razor blade when I was 8 - I was testing the sharpness (I was EIGHT, OK?) - this was first thing in the morning before my parents were awake.
I tied a handkerchief around it and waited until Mum woke. Then showed it to her, blood dripping into my other hand cupped below. Shetold me off for using a razor blade (which I wasn't meant to do without Dad there), washed it under the cold tap, slapped on a plaster and that was that.
I, too, still have the scar.

When I was 16 or so I was at a friend's house, with another of my mates, in his bedroom, just discussing crap as we did when nothing better to do. He picked up a large pair of scissors (that he had stolen from school IIRC) and as he snapped them shut I turned round and the index finger of my right hand passed between the blades, they sliced deeply into both sides of my finger.
After racing to the bathroom to reduce what I was bleeding onto, wrapping the finger in something absorbant, his mother drove us to the hospital.
As we were driving there she uttered the now legendary line "It's a good job you didn't have your willy out".
I have no idea what sort of things she thought we got up to when in each others bedrooms.
I, too, still have both scars.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

An upcoming project requires SSL on our webserver, so I have been checking on certificates from different sources. We already use Thawte for code signing and it would be nice to manage all the certificates together plus I would think that the screening/verification process could be skipped when adding a service.
Anyway, so I go check at Thawte first...looks like the one I need is $149/yr.
Checking around, I found ssls.com[^] and notice that the same certificate there is only $29/yr. 
Is there anything I should be aware of when going through a reseller?..I mean, that's quite a difference.
Anybody used them? (ssls.com)
Does CP sell ssl certs? I thought they did, but searching the site turns up nothing today.

My colleague has recently been working with SSL certificates and I believe that the cheaper certificates require something akin to an intermediate certificate(I believe this is checked and certified by an intermediary SSL server before the full certificate is verified).
I may be wrong on this however my colleague explained that it was a rather complicated affair and that the cheaper certificates involved more complexity.

I got a free cert from startssl.
Can't beat free.

Free is rarely worth the price. Generally better to pay for quality.

True, that. Do you know if the free ones even use encryption to transfer data? Considering the messages I've seen on some HTTPS sites, some people don't even know how to use the encryption certificate to encrypt the page. (I admit it, I don't know how to do that, because I haven't worked with SSIS licensing services.)
