StartCom is the only site I know of that uses them for user authentication. The biggest problem is that the client-side UI is rather confusing, and you still need a separate authentication system in case the user loses their certificate (or

Google Authenticator uses TOTP (RFC 6238), which means the codes are a function of time plus a secret key. As long as your phone's clock is reasonably accurate, the app will work without any network access. http://tools.ietf

Comcast in the bay area charges $77/month for a residential-class connection at 50 Mbps down / 10 Mbps up. Even if you go for a business-class connection, it's $70/month for 16/3. In short, you need to find a better

Many modern planes do have satellite uplinks, but they're mostly used for sending short text messages. Primary voice communications are still over VHF or HF radio. If you're having a mechanical problem, the pilot is going to be mo

Honestly, I thought that was a good introductory tutorial to their library. It's pretty clear that it's only trying to look for a specific car, in a specific spot. And it's obvious that they're taking advantage of the ca

Or AppEngine. Or GitHub Pages if the content's static. Both of which are effectively free. Running a home server is fun, but not the best choice if you're publishing content to the outside world.

If it's just getting country/city data, you should only be requesting "course" location permission. You're requesting "fine" location, which will give the user's precise lat/long. You might want

For a venue this large, I don't understand why they wouldn't be using WPA2-Enterprise with a RADIUS server, so employees log onto the network with their own (unique) credentials. Ideally paired with machine certificates.

Android's OOM killer won't run until after an activity's onPause() or onStop() method has been called, which gives applications a chance to save their state. A foreground activity is typically considered unkillable. Backgroun

FWIW, the Ask.com toolbar is only installed on Windows. Installing Java is relatively painless on MacOS and Linux. Not that this makes me any happier about the situation. There's also OpenJDK as an option, though for some reason there&

As mentioned by Crito, the taxi medallion system exists here, and it's a terribly broken system for everyone involved except, perhaps, the Taxi companies. A NYC taxi medallion can cost millions of dollars. That said... the Uber black c

My guess is that it's because people are much more likely to hold a book by the bottom than by the top. Either because you want to avoid wear (as mentioned above) or because you don't want your reader's hand to be obscuring t

I though the one on the mag stripe was the "CVV1", whereas "CVV" was ambiguous and could refer to either? As far as most consumers are concerned, CVV or CVC is synonymous with CVV2, since that's what folks are asked

There are three reasons I really like Chrome apps: They can run in a windowed/chrome-less mode (no navigation bar), you can write offline HTML5 apps that actually work, and discoverability via the Chrome web store. And as somebody else

As mentioned in my other reply here, KitKat added an API which explicitly lets users change their default SMS app. The way apps did it in the past required using a hidden API and wasn't guaranteed to work. No conspiracy theories necess

Okay, that's odd... it's working fine for me on my tablet, and also working fine for me on my Pixel now that I'm testing again. Must have just been some sort of temporary glitch.

Very nice. One thing that's missing though: It doesn't work with the touch screen on my Pixel, and I suspect it has the same problem if I tried to use it on my tablet. It's a lot easier to get a good signature with a touchscr

There are color management solutions for Windows and Linux as well -- the important part is that you calibrate your display (or other output device) to create an ICC profile, and that there's a way to install the ICC profile. (Example:
