Just because someone can see what's wrong doesn't mean they do anything about it. Without that evidence of action, there's nothing for a background check to turn up. Getting a security clearance is not incredibly difficult.

The periodic table isn't just a nice layout of information, the position of each element in the table provides further information about it. For example, we know gold (Au) is pretty a pretty good conductor of electricity. By looking at

The GPU in the RasPi is very good. In fact, the system should properly be viewed as a GPU with a CPU grafted onto it. It's common for 1080p24 H.264 to be decoded on it, and there are options to license MPEG2 and VC-1 accelerated decodi

For a while I was checking upcoming OS X releases for CAC compatibility. At least on OS X, it's surprisingly easy to get set up, with the hardest step finding a compatible card reader. Once you have that, you usually have to install a

If you're already relying on OS X's FDE, it's not a huge step to link your laptop with iCloud. You can then do basically all the things you can do with a lost iOS device: beep, send messages, or wipe it (instantaneously if FDE is on, it jus

Nope. Imageine instead of ping-pong balls you had a blue squash ball (TIL: the color is important! [0]). They're squishy, and so when you poke the ball at your end, in reality you're causing it to visibly deform. It then pushes back out to

That still doesn't fully explain why they expire, as CRLs and OCSP allow certificates to be revoked. I can't quite explain why having an expiration date is safer, I just feel it's a good practice, to protect against possible key compromise.

Using 'su'[0] is the wrong approach. Setting HOME makes the home directory look different, while keeping all of the permissions the same as the current running user. This is all that's needed, as Dropbox (by default) uses '$HOME/Dropbox'. 0
