got a problem with Firefox on Windblows 8.1.3459820358903294802938049283049820398409234982390409234

you know these things?


whenever I click them, or use other forums that have the same kind of feature, Firefox will jump to that post, but then it starts loading in every element on the page, pics and stuff, so eventually the post you were at is like a million mouse scrolls down on the page. it doesn't stay there. this worked in Chome, and works on Safari on my supreme MBA.

wtf ??

there's an option in the user control panel to adjust the page position after it finishes loading. that has pretty much fixed this firefox behavior for me (although it gets adjusted slightly sideways as well, which irritates me)

So, question:

I have a SecurID Hard token, and noticed the expiration date of the token exceeds 2 years from this current date. I've had the token for several months already. These keyfob's show a 6 digit number. If the token change is once per minute, and there are no repeating numbers, the expiration of the token should be shorter than 2 years.

What gives?

the pattern won't repeat, I'm p.sure you'll the same code a couple of times in its lifecycle. the clocks in those things have to be in roughly sync with the server doing auth so the expiration date is there so you don't use a device with a dying battery that is causing the clock to drag

the expiry is
* for battery replacement as above
* to force a new seed or whatever instead of having 1 forever
* to make RSA some more money

if the codes never repeated, then you would be able to use previously generated code to reduce your pool of possible new codes as the device ages until it becomes wildly insecure toward the end of its life

my laptop won't start up. when I turn it on the lights come on and the fans whir but it either shuts back off or just sits there and nothing happens. it doesn't beep do computers not beep anymore when they can't post? anyway I tried reseating the ram and the processor is there anyway to find out what's wrong besides just swapping parts out. its a lenovo if that matters.

Have you read the manual for trouble shooting information? Sometimes they put hardware trouble shooting information in there for motherboards.

disable all power management and leave it running 24/7 with a counter displaying the amount of energy you are wasting with that ancient piece of poo poo that could be replaced with a $20 SoC

so do your best to emulate how the manufacturers do it

HP's packaging is pretty simple, big block of foam on each edge of the laptop, that fits straight into the box so the laptop is held in place in the middle, no part of the laptop touches the inside of the box

so basically get yourself a narrow enough box and a shitload of bubble wrap, at least that's what i'd do. see if you can mooch off your office's shipping dept if you have one
