I imagine 5 is the upper bounds in their testing for users on the low/mid-level speed tiers from ISPs (ie. what most consumers buy) for "acceptable" video quality.

I'm more inclined to think lack of HW-decoding for VP8/9 + Google's "VideoandTalk" plugin on OSX is a piece of crap.

Stomach pH ranges between 1-5, what you eat contributes significantly to the variance in pH. The "active" yeast that's sold is actually the inactive spore (not actively budding) and low pH environments promote staying inactiv

Not necessarily, you'd be surprised just how hardy both the yeast granules (really sporulated yeast) and ADH can be. I've actually done some research in this area (for unrelated reasons) but here's the a "must read"

That's nice and all but the fact of the matter is Comcast doesn't give a crap about its own network or its customers. In the last 6-8months their PNW, SoCal, Colorado, and NY/NJ routing centers have sat, 24/7, at signifi

Well if you're the only sysadmin for a company and they let you travel without the ability to both contact you and have emergency work done, you're pretty lucky. I would hope no company would let their one and only fulltime sysadm

Oil changes take 20mins, I'm not sure how that equates to a whole Saturday. Hell, you could do it on your way home from work. Or if you find a nicer shop (ie. a local, nonchain shop), they'll even let you drop it off in the mornin

Apple has SecureTransport[1] and it is open source[2], it had the goto fail bug from earlier this year. Shoving money at the problem isn't necessarily the answer. The problem is the TLS spec is a confusing, arcane spec riddled with ton

Why would you be disappointed that there's nothing wrong with it? Why would you be hoping that the program millions use to protect their sensitive information was broken?

tl;dr Follow TrueCrypts recommendations (FDE, long password) and you're mostly fine. The only things that can make it better require program changes.

They're a reseller, if you took the 20sec it took you to make asinine replies to actually look you would see that they sell Comodo, Thwate, and Verisign certs. But thank you for your useful commentary.

They're in both browser's truststores. That's about as "trusted" a CA can be by an inanimate object. For a CA that issues hundreds of thousands of certs, three instances of mistakes is not damning. Whereas a CA, lik

A percentage is better than nothing, last time I was curious and looked it was 60-70% of your expected earning up to a max (120K/year IIRC) in my state. You can either take the `deal` so to speak or go to court for your compensation

This wasn't just an overturned verdict, this was a vacation due to process which is different. Most states offer compensation packages to those wrongly incarcerated. Its usually a percentage of your expected income if you hadn't b

So say an academic lab wanted to move all their projects in Authorea and they're already using git for versioning. Can we import and maintain our versioning?

I can also attest to the biological sciences reliance on Word and Track Changes. It's maddening at times but then again my 80 year old PI (whose in the lab everyday doing wet work still!) can use it and every computer on our campus (so
