Cross-Platform GUI Toolkits (Again)?

[0]Futurepower(R) queries: "It has been 2 1/2 years since the
[1]previous Ask Slashdot about GUI Toolkits. There were many helpful
comments then, such as [2]this one. Since then, Slashdot has discussed
[3]wxWindows vs. MFC and considered the book, [4]Creating Applications

Toolkit, Framework Page. Which is the best cross-platform GUI toolkit

IDEs and other tools do you use? What are the [6]problems?" Slashdot
also had a [7]match-up between [8]GTK+ and [9]Qt, but some of you might
have missed that one. How have recent changes in this ballpark changed
your feelings on the issue?

Self-Regulating SSL Certificate Authority? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/21/207244
[0]bcg asks: "It has come that time again to renew some of my SSL
certificates and part with substantial amounts of cash. This has got me
thinking - why should we pay large amounts of cash for authorized certs
when so little is done by the companies issuing them? Sure they get you
to send them a copy of a business certificate but how does this prove
the character of those running the SSL server? What ideas can we come
up with for a self-regulating certification authority? Could we set
something up along the lines of the many free DNS servers around but
use it to authenticate SSL certs?" We last touched on this subject in
October, when someone was searching for [1]cheap SSL certs. We've also
discussed [2]why certs are so expensive. Why not take it one step
further and discuss ways of making and authenticating our own certs for
free...or [3]as close to free [4]as possible?
