I would imagine it's due to driver support on Linux. A lot of the open drivers still have issues with 3D acceleration (nouveau for instance). By disabling acceleration in the browser, they minimize unnecessary bug reports and user complaint

Or you can wait until the user signs in again and create hash_b at login with the plaintext password after you validate it against hash_a. I believe that is how the bcrypt documentation recommends you do it.

Can you imagine using Sony on your resume as a network admin? You could almost imagine those resumes being automatically filtered out before they even reach HR.

Dealers make far more profit on used cars than they do new. Because of that, they are often much more willing to negotiate down if it's a tough-to-sell car that has been on their lot for an extended period of time.

You can eat your cake and have it, too. I have never spent more than $5000 on a vehicle, and I have only ended up with one lemon. Sometimes I do mechanical work myself, but only because I enjoy it. The rest of the time, I spend the money on

No but they will send someone to jail if they refuse to give up the password. Think of it as a contempt charge. If they still can't remember after a few weeks or months, they can be charged again, go back to jail, and then repeat the proces

I just use SpiderOak. It includes my dot files during its normal backup routine, it has file revisioning included, and all my files are available immediately upon installing SpiderOak to a new computer.

I type Colemak 99% of the time, but the 1% I don't, it can be a really frustrating experience. It amazes me that 20 years of typing ability was forgotten almost entirely in a month.

I loved my Pre when I was still with Sprint. By far the most enjoyable to use out of all the phones I've had. My biggest complaint was (and still is) the lack of applications. If HP is able increase their app library, they will quite possib

If you have a TV near by that has the feature, watch a movie and toggle the motion smoothing every few minutes. It's pretty obvious.

That reminds me how pissed I was when they released The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly on BluRay. One of my favorite movies in hi-def! Then I started watching it. I've seen VCDs with more grain than that. I stopped it after about 15 minutes an

I'm not sure where you are from, but I've never heard of a driver being held responsible for somebody else speeding in their vehicle. Even with cameras, the court is required to prove it was you in the vehicle if you contest it. Edit: USA,

This was a huge failure for the phone and energy company. There is no reason that kind of use should be allowed in the first place. Here in the US, a lot of GSM based alarm systems have SIM cards in them, but they are access controlled to p

Let's say you check your blood pressure at a machine available in a grocery store. Should the store be held responsible based on your interpretation of the results? Or if you use a blood glucose test? Or a thermometer? Or any other device u

That's exactly what this could be the precedent to prevent. The mistaken pornographer case showed that an IP is not necessarily evidence enough for a warrant, esp. a no-knock warrant. It will quite possibly lead to requiring more evidence t

True but if your MAC just happened to match a MAC the litigating attorney had on file due to the exploits which ChuckMcM is referring, it would be much more difficult to claim innocence as you can do with a shared IP. MAC spoofing would onl

Compiler issues shouldn't hold you back. Release it anyway. If someone is interested enough, they will more than likely be willing to work with what they can get. Let the burden of correcting the code fall on them.

I get only about 2.5 hours when running Arch Linux compared to almost double when I used to run OS X on my MBP 5,3. I rarely use my laptop unplugged though so it doesn't make a huge difference to me. I think a large part of the difference o
