Filevault is okay for protecting your data from being stolen when your laptop is. It only encrypts your home directory, so you have no assurance about the integrity of the rest of your system. If you're only worried about getting your lap

I have no idea what that legalese means (could someone translate?), but considering the poster is from New Zealand, it shouldn't be an issue.

Apparently it's all rainbows and sunshine from here on out. I really don't see the meat industry dying out for a long time, and I have some doubts about how easy it will be to be able to ship "in vitro kits" to food deprived nations. Mayb

Somewhat related (though not directly related to your problem): Flux ( http://www.stereopsis.com/flux/ ) It changes the color temperature of your display. By reducing the amount of blue in the evening, the idea is that you can fall aslee

I wouldn't say without any reliability. I know that my "dynamic" IP stays the same for months at a time, if I don't interfere.

Why, oh why, do any websites need to be able to reverse an encrypted password to the plaintext? 99.99% of the time, simply resetting the password to something different is a much better way to go (in the case the user forgets). I'm sure the

Yes, Linux flash performance sucks (when it works at all), so it would be great to have a native Linux client that didn't bring with it all the inefficiencies of flash for something as simple as playing videos.

I guess that is free, if all of your time is worthless. Good customer service and PR is a good thing, but it's certainly not "free."

I hate to derail this, but why exactly do I need to register an account to read the forums? I understand that literally everybody that uses Dropbox has an account... but I don't, and therefore I can't learn about this app (or other things r

Maybe they'll release it for the laptops, which do have accelerometers in them. from a simple google search: http://chancechancellor.com/?p=337

It's a joke, making fun of Apple's approval process.

In terms of actually checking bags, I'm not sure whether the old way or the new way is better. It sometimes seems like the few staff members are pretty spread thin when it comes to actually taking bags. On the other hand, I normally travel

Watch the video, tons more information. As someone who launched balloons like these in college, it's interesting seeing so much coverage of these projects. At the time, it seemed like a run of the mill thing to do (we did about 3 launches

Twitter is a great platform for these spammers: * Can reach a large amount of users by mentioning popular events (like trying to get high page ranks on google for spam pages). * Users expect short (and not fully descriptive) messages with a

Just look to all of our modern operating systems to see what they try to do to provide "liquid" service. Even on a single processor, tasks are switched frequently to give pseudo parallelism, so that all the tasks can stay responsive (espec

Only "security" is this array of items which are regexed out of whatever you submit (and as you pointed out, completely fail to even prevent those functions from being called. $replace = array('<?php', '?>', '<?', 'mkdir', 'eval

I think the submitter himself said it well in his Rackspace XSS hack: "Web applications are never 100% secure. Also the amount of vulnerabilities previously found in a product does not directly relate to the current state of security in a p

Well, I imagine that if you are a tech news site that wants to be known for breaking stories first, you can't wait very long.

Yes, you're correct. I wouldn't say it would be trivial to crack a password once you have the salt, but it would be much easier. Salts effectively make a password longer, without more for the user has to remember. The purpose is to make i
