I believe that the salt is able to prevent rainbow tables because of storage capacity, as rainbow tables are quite large. That makes the pre-generation of these rainbow tables quit…

I see xkcd's passphrase is correcthorsebatterystaple and think that it is the wrong way to do it. The memorization of that password would work much better than a simple passphrase …

You don't have to go into about:config to disable it all you have to do is click the little 9 boxes in the upper right of the newtab page.

They did try to solve that with the Home edition version, it is a bit more than 2x more expensive than the student version but it does solve running mathematica for cheaper as long…

I don't know of any particularly good places but be sure to take it to a tailor and get it fitted for the extra 50-100 dollars. (If they don't have a tailor in the store)

No your parent is right, font replacement on windows still looks bad most of the time. Larger font sizes look a little less bad but there still exist rendering issues especially in…

People use things like typekit and fontdeck because it is cheaper than buying the actual fonts and they also provide highly available hosting for decent pricing. If you want to ser…

I use and pay for spideroak I just wish your client was a bit better. Hopefully you guys are working on it still.

Sometimes you get a percent of profit for the patented applications but it is usually a lower percent (think 1-7%) and I don't know how it would factor in a sale like this. This is…
