The PHP manual pages are full of user comments with helpful suggestions just like that, which incompetent programmers copy and paste into production systems. But I think of it as a good thing, an instance of evolution in action, because ban

How about they revoke your free certificate for free, but if you want another certificate for the same domain, you have to pay for it.

And remember that "a hate group" is actually "more than one hate groups" because Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul definitely qualify as haters and bigots. If you have the stomach, google yourself up some Pat Buchanan quotes --

It's certainly always possible to change what you believe, and that's a lot more ethical than lying about what you believe. Of course, Brendan is a failure as a CEO and a decent human being because he REFUSED to change what he bel

It speaks to his integrity as a hateful bigot that he didn't have the human decency to change his beliefs based on the fact that he was completely incapable of coming up with a valid justification for them, and refused to justify himse
