The playback seems a bit off in places, or maybe my memory is, but since the program is still being developed I don't care. So happy right now. Thank you so much.
Is there a standard player for these things? Or is that too dependent on the chips being targeted?
One of the strengths of the old Amiga mods was the number of libraries around for playback which made writing a player or dropping a mod in your game trivial.
- My first Amiga was an A500, eventually ended up with a chip RAM upgrade, an A520 20MB hard disk and some extra Fast RAM.
- I owned several Amigas in the early 90s, but I actually cried when I sold my A1200 to buy a 486 DX2 66! Why you may ask? Doom. It changed everything.
Doom was the death knell for my Amiga days as well. That and by that time, IIRC, it was obvious that Commodore was going under fast. I don't want to go pull out an Amiga and play, but it's rare to experience something that actually feels like a whole new ball game. (The Oculus Rift is close.)
After my first machine, an Atari 800, I had an Amiga 500 and loved it. But I didn't keep up with industry news at the time, so my first indication that All Was Not Well was when I walked into my local Amiga store (Omnitek, in Tewksbury, MA) and the Amiga stuff had been moved aside to make room for IBM PC-contemptibles... some of them with Commodore badges.
I mean, damn people who use a free thing that then get screwed, through no fault of their own, not wanting to be charged $25 for a part of the service that they would never need to use otherwise.
You're either free, or you're not -- StartSSL is a mish-mash of "free" and opportunistic costs.
I think some people are exaggerating how aware Class 1 customers were of the revocation policy. It’s in the FAQ, but the site also advertises “100% Free”. I think the expectation is that free services have automated infrastructure, and that they’re a way to advertise your paid services—and I did, in fact, start out as a Class 1 and later paid for Class 2.
I had to revoke my wildcard cert a few weeks ago. You can tell them why you did that. As far I know they decide to charge you on a case by case basis. When I revoked my cert I got an email 3 minutes later saying: "Revoked free of charge".
"Class 1 certificates aren't revoked free because we receive too many requests
daily (specially for the Class 1 free certs) and would we have revoked them
all, our certificate revocation list (CRL) would have been blown out of every
proportion."
In a further back-and-forth, the admin proceeded to tell me how much bandwidth I would cause them (I don't even care about being added to a CRL for a personal domain).
Edit: Sorry, you did say a wildcard cert, which sounds like a paid cert, so would offer more "service" I'm guessing.
Their verification service is annoyingly rigid. Anything other than a phone call to a number listed on a phone bill (and no fair blacking out other numbers on a family plan, for instance) or waiting a couple of weeks for a letter from Israel is rejected, even when the information is easily verified using online government databases[1].
1 - Not an NSA joke, more that "hey, voter registration and property tax rolls are public and online; you could just verify that, no?"
