    I didn't watch the video, but I wonder how many famous ex-NFL players could do this?

    I didn't know they have a VPN client, I see nothing on their website. Do you have a link?

    I think I told you to install Gentoo. However, I was taunting you. I've been using a MacBook Pro 13" at work since March. The hardware is nice and I can actually use it on an airplane.

    I don't think that's what they're claiming. I think it's just a poorly written article. There are batteries inside the frame from what I understand.

    I really think the concern is overblown here. There was one instance of a pro rider using this and it was in a women's U-23 cyclocross race and it was her backup bicycle.

    The lesson is to live in a more urban location with built-up infrastructure. This will not save you every time, but certainly can't hurt your chances.

    If the password database is unsalted, then no one is brute forcing it, they are running it against a pre-existing rainbow table. You'd be amazed by how many companies that don't take this basic precaution.

    Browser Security

    Depends on what browser. Chrome tabs are sandboxed, but several tabs can share one sandbox and if you have multiple tabs opened with the same domain they will share data such as local storage and cookies. This is how you can login to a website in one tab and open multiple tabs and remain logged...

    The set I bought is pretty nice. However, if you want something with more power, they have them. These ones only come with 2 1.3Ah batteries. This is sufficient for my needs though. All of the Dewalt 20v batteries are compatible.

    With a regular drill you need to put a ton of pressure on it to prevent stripping it. The impact driver is completely different, it makes driving screws easy enough that a child could do it. This article explains the difference pretty well. I drove 36 2" screws today without stripping a single one.

    I bought a Dewalt impact driver drill combo. The impact driver is amazing for driving screws in. I drove some 2 and 3 inch drywall screws and it was like going through butter.
