(Thawte may be canceling their free program, so Comodo may be the better choice.) The setup process is fairly simple and they have instructions on how to get various email clients configured. As I said before, this article is me trying to do my part to help society move from paper to digital.  If you want to help, please take a few minutes to share this with someone else.

Those organizations are being allowed to opt out of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act -- at least until 2014 -- in order to let them develop systems and alternatives to meet the health care reform law's strict coverage requirements.HHS data suggest more than 2.6 mil...

If the subject is vaccines. Conversations with Paul Offit, M.D., who is chief of infectious diseases at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and a frequent target of the ire of pro-vaccine safety/anti-vaccine-ists, led actress Peet to be “’shocked at the amount of misinformation floating around, particularly in Hollywood.’” Apparently on the trailer of her soon-to-be-in-theaters film, X-Files 2, Peet says “I am not the most popular girl at the FBI, right now” —- I suspect she’s not going to be “the most popular” in some other circles. But much appreciated in others (here, too). Tags: amanda p...

Working out the contents of each file is difficult as the only identifier is the name, which with lots of similarly named files, is confusing. Using lots of scripts gets more complicated when there are dependencies. For example scripts need the data from one file, or are dependent on an intermediate set of results from the output of another script. These dependencies mean that when a set of results needs updating, usually many times when producing a manuscript, scripts need to be re-run in the correct order. The requirement of manually re-running scripts in a specific order is cumbersome, and easily generates errors. A previous post I wro...
