They have been a screw up from day 1 when some ex CIA guys used their connections to get the contract and then proceded to charge premium prices while doing a terrible job. I am not a big fan of the digital certificate racket either. I've been writing Java 2 Mico Edition code lately, and sadly enough, Motorola's implementation for their IDEN phones won't accept any other certificate for an https connection except VeriSign. I try to stay as far away from NS and ICANN as I can. I found that the people running .to have much more user friendly policies, though I pay a bit more. Their registry is first come first serve. They don't publish your name, phone number or email address in their whois database. They also don't like spammers.

Hi all. This is off topic and is a cross-post, so I'll be brief. There is a very nasty virus out there and I urge everybody to get their AV in order. The virus is known as: "W32.Gibe-F" or "W32.Swen-A". Yesterday, I gotcca. 200 viral messages. Today, it's about 800 viral messages! I suspect that a lot of viral traffic directed to me is coming from users on one of the lists I'm crossposting to. Check yourselves. Nix.
