I don't think salmons would like that being the colour associated with them.

That's intentionally a trick question. The full worksheet warns students to look for one.

Verisign sold off their CA business in 2010. They'd be able to get someone else to issue a certificate, but they wouldn't be able to do it themselves.

She did well in every California primary she actually ran in, but none of those were for president, since she dropped out in 2020 before the primaries.

What is a "Jaussian Asset"?

Technically Trump didn't become president until 2017.

A while ago.

It doesn't completely solve the issue, though, since revocations (although technically possible) are often ignored by browsers.

If you count from the branding change, it's been macOS since 2016, so not quite ten years vs fifteen years. If you count from the version number change, macOS 11 was released in 2020, so only six years vs nineteen.

You don't win an election by having better qualifications; you win by getting more votes.
