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.

Ubuntu and Windows 8 have the same amount of "orange" and "green", but because the latter is grouped with Windows 7 it disappears from the table.

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.

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.

Now, for 2014, the "one time crisis tax" regulation has been prolonged. One time, promise! ("Eenmalige crisisheffing eenmalig verlengd")

Is _a_ commercial company behind the development. The most important, for sure, but not the only one.

That would be Windows Store vs Windows, right?

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 naive invaders, this can lead to an evolutionary stable situation where the maintenance of resistance is less costly than losing it.

See Lenski's (old) review "Bacterial evolution and the cost of antibiotic resistance"

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 biology department to do research.

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, Neptune (edit: and Uranus) serve to create a giant spirograph.

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 on Oct 19, dissemination into communities on the Artibonite delta had already happened.

The Debian OpenSSL snafu showed that even rather blatant changes get missed.

Anything in the leaked docs on that particular incident?

The container format itself is really just a giant mathematical mess -- there really isn't anything to backdoor there.

The container itself can actually be 'backdoored' by a malicious client by eg saving a duplicate of the master key, or generating a master key using a deliberately weak RNG.

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 informational only AFAIK (was added in 2012?) and is not perfect.

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, unintentional overdose, aneurysm (brain, AAA), arrhythmia, a fall.

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 woodlands.

Roe deer often carry all tick stages (larvae, nymphs and adults).

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 services.

eg KDE (old) http://drupal.org/node/24398

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.

They don't appear to even mention secure boot as the reason, but pricing, margin and lack of interest, both from consumers as from vendors.

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 example: Misconduct causing a near miss, such as smoking or using open fire near chemical storage, is grounds for instant dismissal, even in the "socialist" countries of NW Europe.

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.

The materials and methods section should contain such steps. Washing and peeling was not indicated.

Unless you have low income, you pay more than that in the Netherlands.

Payment for health care is composed of two parts:

You pay about EUR 867 to 1,140 directly to an insurance company PER ADULT depending on how much you want to pay yourself in case of required care.

Then there's the socialized income dependent part of the insurance that's either payed via your employer or by yourself, which, in the latter case, is 5,65% over up to EUR ~51 K.

A family of two, each with an income > 51K then pays between EUR 7,480 to 8,026 (atm USD ~10K) each year for health insurance, subsidizing insurance for lower income groups.
