有点不清楚自己在说什么。。。 好像是说“我喜欢吃中菜但是不会点菜，因为在中国住的很多年的法国朋友只要记住几条可以了”

好像我要说是： “我蛮喜欢吃中菜，但是看不懂菜单。我的一个长期住在中国的发过来的人推荐被好几个菜的名字就可以了”

If you have clients, vendors or colleagues in multiple timezones around the world, like me, you may find the World Clock Deluxe utility to be invaluable. I formerly used JetClock, a replacement for the standard Mac OS X menu clock, but the memory leak in the latest version made it too troublesome to continue using. Instead, I upgraded to the excellent World Clock which lets me quickly check the time extremely conveniently:

I’ve found that sticking the Clock to my “Desktop” is extremely convenient, much more than using a Dashboard widget – which can often take several seconds to load. Instead, setting the “Level” of the World Clock to Desktop, hitting the expose command to show my desktop also conveniently lets me review the current time in all relevant areas.

If you place on order at thawte.com for a SSL certificate that uses less than 4 characters (for the CN/Common Name field), you will NOT be permitted to process your certificate.

The process you should use is:

1. http://www.thawte.com/digital-certificate-resellers/reseller-partners/index.html
2. Enter in the user name: ZAVERISI-1 and Password: Password123
3. Please click on “click here” under the “Enroll for Certificates”
4. Select the duration of your choice
5. enter in the CSR and the rest of the contact information (please leave the billing contact details as is)

According to Thawte’s technical support team, this isn’t a bug, it’s a feature…

This feature was added as a security block in our system to prevent customers from obtaining wildcards to cover all domains of a particular domain registrar, for example, *.com or *.net.

The way around this is for the customer to simply add an x after his 3 letter domain when enrolling. So the customer must get the wildcard for *.redx.com. This will allow the enrollment to complete. Once the order is in the system it is merely a case of contacting CS and asking them to remove the x after the domain. The wildcard will then be issued to the correct customer domain of *.red.com.

So, if you’re over at sun.com, ibm.com, x.com (bought paypal, then bought by ebay), msn, cia.gov, etc. Well, be careful when you’re buying your wildcard certificates.

We wouldn’t want to see Verisign’s gross margin’s eroded by implementing features like this properly, for example with a list of valid top level domains for each country.
