In my experience, Docs can't even reliably align the cursor with the position between characters (problem described here[1], except my zoom is at 100% already). Thankfully all my documents have very light formatting, so I can just write in Vim and then upload them. [1] http://www.podiohelp.com/google-docs-cursor-misaligned/
I've seen this happen before, but only very rarely and refreshing would always fix it. Does refreshing not work for you?
You can also use certutil to grab all the trusted root certificates from the Windows Update server: certutil -generateSSTFromWU roots.sst Then open roots.sst (which defaults to viewing in certmgr) and it will show the whole lot. Or use certutil -syncWithWU to get all the certs individually. Alternatively: download http://ctldl.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/t... [1], extract the authroot.stl file (whic…
The bigger takeaway from this is with a system like this (fully managed by Windows Updates).. how can you remove certificates you don't trust? Latest documentation for this seems to be for IE 5. I sure as hell like to run dkpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates every once in a while after some roots get compromised and don't trust Microsoft to be on the ball.
For example, using the root discussed in the article:
1. Download the root cert from http://ctldl.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/t... (or save it from the browser's certificate viewer)
2. Open certmgr and import it into 'Untrusted Certificates'.
(This just adds it for the current user's store. Could also import into the computer store by running mmc, adding the Certificates snap-in, and specifying 'Computer account' as the target.)
3. Restart browser. Go to https://certplusrootcag1-test.opentrust.com/ - it should say the certificate is revoked.
This only works for browsers like IE and Chrome, that use the Windows certificate store. Firefox has its own so would have to be done separately.

It can be added to the disallowed certificate store, which takes precedence over any trusted stores. For example, using the root discussed in the article: 1. Download the root cert from http://ctldl.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/v3/static/t... (or save it from the browser's certificate viewer) 2.

Please don't call commenters "apologists" on HN.
I never knew apologists had a negative connotation. What is the concern with apologists?
Windows isn't lying. Microsoft openly lists what certificates Windows includes on their site. The fact the root certificate store on your machine only lists certificates it actually contains is to be expected. This is just a UI failure.

If somebody out there has a reliable way to measure resource consumption in Windows (Mark Russinovich?), I'd be interested in a comparison between (say) a thousand word document in Word and the same document in Google Docs in Chrome. I think you could probably add "resource hungry" to your description of GDocs....
That's probably the case, but does it matter?
Did I miss anything?

I did not: > And nothing you've said in this apologist answer has come close to addressing that, you're just dancing around it. I said the answer was apologist, not the individual. I myself post apologist answers all the time (justifications for controversial positions), but I don't consider myself an apologist broadly speaking. I also don't presume that the above poster is an "apologist" even if I do consider this s…

You're reading Hacker News and you want to know why someone would bother reverse engineering a closed source platform?
To be fair, Hacker is weird misnomer in many ways. It's starutp-scene-connected-tech-heavy-news more than anything else.
Yes, and that's because it is a very powerful marketing tool for Paul Graham's huge YC business.
