Windows 8 Pro comes with Bitlocker and is fairly cheap.
It is only a simple feature if you don't care about DOS against the user account and do not have an adversary with a large botnet.
> It can easily be extended. Indeed. Just like the Netherlands where 2013 saw the introduction of the "one time crisis tax" (eenmalige crisisheffing) which constitutes a 16% tax on wages, including bonus, over EUR 150K.…
> Bacteria both evolve resistance quickly, they also lose it just as quick. Alas, experiments have shown that it is possible for resistant strains to strongly reduce the cost of resistance maintenance. If there are no…
Even purified phages are not without possible side-effects. Several phages even encode for bacterial virulence factors such as exotoxins (stx, diphteria toxin). Fortunately, we are much better equipped in the molecular…
Why do so many commenters on tech sites believe "mum" or "grandpa" only run a browser?
The Debian OpenSSL snafu showed that even rather blatant changes get missed. Anything in the leaked docs on that particular incident?
If you hear hoof-beats, you'd expect a horse, not a zebra (unless you are on a Safari). It's not that uncommon that 35 year old people die at home. Common causes are suicide, unintentional overdose, aneurysm (brain,…
While it is called the 'sheep tick' around here, Ixodes ricinus has a number of hosts, including mice, deer and birds (eg black birds, robins) that contribute to the spread and maintenance of the species in forests and…
Explaining grievances to the public by making a site may not be legal in certain countries at all (NL to name one) if there's no clear need to do so for the common good.
The "one-click to activate one time" links should always lead to a page where the user has to perform a POST to prevent "smart" applications from using the token when trying to show a thumbnail / preview or offer other…
Serious Wordpress, Joomla! or Drupal vulnerabilities and exploits can still get you a few thousand dollars. Quite a high ROI because the vulnerabilities are easier to find than in Chrome.
You can still buy a Dell XPS 13 with Ubuntu via dell.nl or an OS-less laptop via BTO. > http://linuxcomputers.nl/ They don't appear to even mention secure boot as the reason, but pricing, margin and lack of…
Near misses must be analysed and acted upon to be a useful force in accident or disaster prevention. Such actions can include changes to the facility, changes to protocol, but also educating or punishing workers. As an…
They already came a long way. I recently got an i5 with a HD4000 and was blown away by the fact that it runs Mass Effect 3 smoothly at 1600 x 900. Having good hopes for the Haswells.
I buy a new Office when a new version gives me something I want. I buy new PC's on an entirely different schedule.
While you certainly can close Metro apps manually, there's no direct need in terms of resources to do so. Metro apps will be suspended when not on the foreground and removed from memory when free memory gets tight. When…

Why are authenticity tokens not tied to a specific form and the originating session? Is there a technical reason?
Yeah, so much for 'power' users and tweakers. Tomshardware is in fact double wrong: Win+Q and charms search lead to the application specific search (eg when in Music, you'll search music, when in Mail, mail). Only when…
Launching apps by typing their name still works on Windows 8. Just get to the start screen (winkey or bottom left corner, or via charms bar), then start typing.
What is the distribution of BSODs? Are they evenly spread over the population or are some users/machines responsible for the majority of cases?
Just a FYI; you don't need the mouse to get to the login screen. The lock screen can be dismissed by pressing a key.
> Biology What would be the problem? I've both written papers in Latex and Word, but cannot think of a discipline-related advantage.
That depends on your location. In NL the truth can get you in a lot of trouble. Also not that the TOS tries to make the submitter liable for all damages _and_ cost : http://iwasntpaid.com/terms_of_submission
