Well damn i was looking into their EV to, thank god i didnt get one
How much fraud does it take for Symantec to be banned as a CA? For pete's sake, they issued fake google.com certs.
They were at HostingCon 2016 and their presentation every 10 minutes was annoying.
How was that?
RIP.
Was actually looking to get one to setup a secure test environment - back to GlobalSign I guess
I know it might be offtopic but Symantec sucks as well with their "IP reputation"
Google has been fucking Symantec ever since they found out Symantec had issued certs for google.com
Google pretty much banned them which is already a death sentence considering Chrome market share.
I literally cannot imagine anything any more boring than this, perhaps shoescon or paintcon,...
There was lots and lots of alcohol.
To compensate
I knew @DillyBob was right.
This. So much free alcohol.
Sounds like a fun place to get fucked up and make some bad decisions. Who's up for HostingCon 2017?
@Nekki WHD.global as early as next week
.
Do they do free beer? Free German beer would be excellent.
They do plenty
.
I might just fuck off the Azure migration I'm in the midst of and rock up in Germany for a few days then.
@OnApp_Terry is a diamond one, perhaps he can sort you out with the invite
I imagine @Nekki with his long hair (?) coming on Don's way asking him for beer...
My God, I've made another Cest Pit.
Been nearly 16 years since I had long hair....
I'm ok with gatecrashing tbf.
@nekki, If you do want to go: http://thewhdcloud.com/WHD/Global2016.aspx?BonusCode=GL174BW
Oh boy! Glad I stuck to GlobalSign.
Never made it to a COMDEX, huh?
I shall carry on, my liege.
Thanks for the offer geez but I'd get fucking slaughter by work and the other half if I disappeared over to Germany for a piss-up.
About the last good thing I remember to ever come from symantec was a decent C compiler and ide (about 2 decades ago) - which they almost certainly got buy buying a company.
Does anyone know anything symantec has not got by purchasing a company?
A reputation for shitty software, shitty support, and shitty service?
To answer your question, Symantec bought Zortech.
@WSS
Yes, right, Zortech was the compiler/ide company.
It's just my personal view but I've learned over the years to consider anything, no matter how good and nice, that gets sucked/bought into the big symantec cuntiverse as basically turning into worthless crap.
A symantec certificate? Yeah, right. When hell is frozen.
