If you have a global auto-type key set (Ctrl-Alt-A by default), you can get KeePass to autotype your username and password. The details can be fiddly (especially for site where they have some weird notion that forcing you to load a new page between entering username and entering password enhances security somehow), but it generally works if you have the URL field filled out in the individual KeePass entries.

"Because anyone who's ever put a large pot full of water on the stove (for example for canning) can tell you that it will NOT boil off in half an hour."

One detail that's forgotten: BTU In short, a fireman can tell you that a hose, with 150ish gallons of water per minute coming from it, flowed into a fully fire-involved room.....you're going to see very little runoff for the first minute. The amount of water converted to steam instantly is way, way more than your pot of water can hold.

Most air in a burning house *at the floor* is below the boiling point of water. You can easily have a thermal gradient of several hundred degrees in a room. 150 degrees on the floor. 500 degrees at chest level, 900+ degrees at the ceiling.

To the original poster: offsite storage. Everything else is a game of mental masturbation.

Fixed it.

Under these circumstances, it certainly does. The perpetrator cop showed by his behavior that for him the police uniform is just another set of gang colors. Photographing a gang-banger doing something the gang-banger would prefer to be kept secret is dangerous for obvious reasons.

It's an inference derived from newly available evidence, which is the exact opposite of a preconceived notion.

The latest versions of VeraCrypt can mount TrueCrypt containers. They also allow you to select the hash algorithm (instead of autodetecting) when mounting disks, which speeds up the process (I've never found it to take more than 15 seconds on a six-year-old computer).

Heck, they could earn some goodwill by using all those resources to shut down the whole "Rachel from Card Services" operation.

Yep. Government salaries are just hopelessly uncompetitive for any position requiring high-level skills. They try to paper over the problem with flag-pin symbolism, but that doesn't work now that the mystique has been replaced by stench.
 

It's a good idea. It's been tried, though: http://www.flir.com/legacy/vie...

One of the problems with this idea is that it gives rise to the "superman" complex. Namely, that the wearer would charge into a zero visibility situation and loose situational awareness. When the unit failed/went dead/malfunctioned/leaked/whatever, you were thoroughly screwed, as it was like being plunged into a world of black ink.

I say "when" for unit failure because it really is a matter of when. Electronics exposed to the brutal conditions of firefighting will work....for a while.

it is unclear what level of name recognition she enjoys

"Bad news, Ms Fiorina. According to the latest polls, some of the voters still remember who you are...."

It boils down to two simple facts:

1. The default option is a mix of informed choice and lazy inertia.
2. The non-default options are pure informed choice.

The "informed choice" component of the former blunts the contrast, but doesn't eliminate it.

Last time I got one of these calls, it went something like this:

"I need you to open your Windows."
"Can you call me back later when it's not raining?"
*click*

Because suppression of fraud is one of the basic responsibilities of a government.

I don't know why ISDN has such a bad rap.

It's stable as hell, offers a guaranteed bit rate (albeit not that fast by modern standards), and is available just about anywhere in the USA. Mind you, what's a full T1: One form of it is 24(?) ISDN lines bonded together. I was on a 128k ISDN when I lived with the 'folks, as there was no DSL/Cable/Whatever. I torrented the hell out of that connection. Sure, it took some serious time to pull down a .iso of a movie. But it worked. It *always* worked.

Awww, they're so cute when they still believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and politicians' honesty....
