        Right, so just let everyone in any coffee shop or any other

        you connect to sniff all your traffic.

        Did you have an actual point?


    I always find it amusing when comments against google seem to get
    at people. After all, Google is just another Microsoft :P


You clearly misunderstood Aristotle. He doesn't care about a comment against Google, and I'm sure he has no special affinity towards it. He simply had a good remark on a discussion of the effectiveness and CPU costs of SSL encryption and it was ignored with a completely irrelevant comment.

I wasn't going to reply to this, but as this thread has continued... I thought Arthur's point was so relevant and clear to the greater context of this (as he has continued to outline), that such as comment as Aristotle's could only be inspired by some kind of affinity felt towards Google. Maybe it's just because I work with a guy that gets his back up when you knock Google, that I read this as similar behaviour....
