You can still set it to boot at a certain time with OS X, and if you set up auto-login and have that as a login item, it'll accomplish the same task.

I agree. At least on the Mac client, there's already an "Advanced" preference pane. Why not create an option there for the user to manage their own encryption key, and possibly what folders it applies to? (For example, they could exempt s

True. Somewhere I thought I read that the installer ran without user interaction in this variant, but thinking about it, that doesn't make much sense. Though, if you're concerned about having to give an admin password (as evidently some peo

by joshzayin 15y ago
Right, but the point of this article is that it no longer needs the admin password. If you're running in a non-admin account (like I am), it'll still need the password, and thus user interaction, so it'll be trivial to stop.

by joshzayin 15y ago
As I understand it, this relies on the admin account's ability to write to the /Applications folder without a password. So, if you just run in a non-admin account, you should be fine.

If this goes through, I wonder what would happen to Skype's Linux and Mac support. I'd hope MS would still support it, but I don't think they have any Linux software currently (I'm not positive about that, so please correct me if I'm wrong

Am I missing something? Why not just use Google Voice?

I mean, Google tries to do everything too, and while they're certainly not always successful, they're certainly doing really well and turning huge profits.

You should really get that site copy-edited. "Favorate" on your homepage should be "Favorite".

I think you are somewhat missing the point of the blog post. It's highlighting that, from a very young age, society's gender roles are being insinuated into people. This leads to gender disparities such as those in the STEM fields and onl

I would tend to doubt that the changes will be that small, considering the massive negative media attention 'antennagate' got--I think it's likely that they'll at least move the antenna to eliminate that problem, which would seem to neces

There's no way to force it to interpret the bits logically, rather than as a floating point number?

by joshzayin 16y ago
I'll admit I'm not familiar with JS, but assuming that it conforms to the IEEE standard for floating point and you can do bitwise logical operations, can't you just AND it with a 1 in the sign bit place and 0s in all other places, then do a
