Windows 8 Pro comes with Bitlocker and is fairly cheap.

It appears so. Many sites that were vulnerable earlier today haven't even inactivated sessions.

That depends on what is downloaded. Downloading copyrighted software is illegal in NL, downloading movies, music and books is not.

Iceland was not obliged to ensure payment of a minimum compensation to the depositors. See the EFTA court ruling at http://www.eftacourt.int/uploads/tx_nvcases/16_11_Judgment_E...

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.

Transcription is the process where RNA is generated from a DNA template. The observed error rate is about 10^-5 per nt. This is the error rate after nucleolytic proofreading.

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…

Why do so many commenters on tech sites believe "mum" or "grandpa" only run a browser?

The center of gravity of the entire solar system (the solar barycenter) wanders around and is currently located inside the star. It will be outside of the sun in 2017. Jupiter, Nep…

The suit alleges that "false statements and misleading information" increased the risk to the population. I'm not sure that is plausible. At the start of the epidemic investigation…

The Debian OpenSSL snafu showed that even rather blatant changes get missed. Anything in the leaked docs on that particular incident?

It's also silly because many blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), including those in rice paddies, already fix nitrogen in their heterocysts.

An entity controlling traffic at your internet connection can force node selection during circuit building by failing requests to uncontrolled nodes. The path bias warning is infor…

Samsung hires lots of small companies, usually on a per-project basis.

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, unint…

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 mai…
