I want my website to have a checkbox that users can click so that they will not have to log in each time they visit my website. I know I will need to store a cookie on their computer to implement this, but what should be contained in that cookie?    Also, are there common mistakes to watch out for to keep this cookie from presenting a security vulnerability, which could be avoided while still giving the 'remember me' functionality?

There's something strange going on with my Xubuntu setup (13.10 at the moment, but I remember having this issue in 13.04 as well, before upgrading). Each time I log in, the system reopens the applications that I didn't close before shutting down the computer last time. This is strange since in the session and startup settings I don't have the Automatically save session on logout setting checked. What can I do to fix this issue ?

In the power management, I selected the option called "suspend when I close the lid". If I close the lid, the computer is not suspending. It keep itself on. How can I solve this problem?

How would you go about turning you computer after a specified amount of time?   I listen music before I go to sleep and would like to be able to shutdown my computer after a specified amount of time. After ½ an hour say.   It would be cool if you could connect a desktop shortcut to a task in scheduler so you click the shortcut and ½ an hour later it shuts down.

There are many superstitions on what you must never do lest your battery become worthless - and by worthless I mean hold about 16 - 24 seconds of charge. This has happened to every laptop I have ever owned, and I just got a new one, so please help me sort out fact from fiction. Here are some of the things I've heard:   Do not keep your laptop fully charged. You must run it completely down every so often. Do not use your laptop plugged in to the wall. Only plug it in when it needs charge. If you will not be using your laptop for a long period of time, don't leave it at full charge. Do not leave your laptop running 24/7.   The first two I know to be complete fiction: this was true of old batteries such as you might have had in an iPod in 2003, but modern batteries function better when kept at or near full charge. Devices even have circuitry to prevent you from completely depleting your battery, as this is dangerous.  The third point sounds probable, and I'd be interested to know if it was true. However, it doesn't really apply to me because I'm not really the type to leave my laptop alone for a day, much less a "long period of time"  The fourth seems most likely of the above, but only because of causality: I have always done this, and my batteries have always crapped out on me. I've generally treated a laptop like a desktop with a battery backup, and that I can move from one room to another if necessary. The fact that my batteries tend to last less than 30 seconds has further entrenched this behavior. Should I be trying to break this habit?  Are there any other things that ruin laptop batteries? I love that I can actually use my new laptop unplugged :) I'd like to keep it that way.  Update: Additional question: If the computer will be used for an extended period of time plugged in, does it make sense to remove the battery first?  Update 2: I know people with laptops older than mine, who actively use their laptops as much as I do, and their batteries still hold about an hours' charge while mine holds less than 30 seconds, hence my belief that something I'm doing kills them.

While on other Stack Exchange sites like Game Development and Code Review they recognize if I am logged in to Stack Overflow or Stack Exchange and after refresh request from page I am logged in there too. This autologin feature does not happen on Super User.  Even if I go to the login page, it does not offer me automaticaly to login with my connected SE account.  I know I am registered on Super User as I even asked a question there.

As a response to the recent  and , what is the best way to secure your website against brute force login attacks?  Jeff's post suggests putting in an increasing delay for each attempted login, and a suggestion in the comments is to add a captcha after the 2nd failed attempt.  Both these seem like good ideas, but how do you know what "attempt number" it is?  You can't rely on a session ID (because an attacker could change it each time) or an IP address (better, but vulnerable to botnets).  Simply logging it against the username could, using the delay method, lock out a legitimate user (or at least make the login process very slow for them).  Thoughts? Suggestions?

When my computer shuts down due to automatic updates and I restart it all the tabs I had open are restored. But when I do Ctrl + Shift + Q all the tabs are lost.  Is there a way to have my tabs saved when I manually close Google Chrome? Or should I just kill every single instance of it in the Task Manager or something?

I understand the desire to keep a closed question around for Google or SO Search purposes, or when a question is a dupe, or has been moved to "(sister site)" and therefore I don't want the to be deleted.  However as a user of the site, logged in, looking to help someone out (or just gain some rep) answering questions, the [Closed] questions just become noise.     Would you consider an option (for logged in users) to not show Closed questions,   unless running a search?   e.g. if I search for "IE getElementById error" then please show the closed questions as they may be helpful.  However when just going to the Questions page... p2, p3, p4, p5 etc. I'd rather not see those questions as typically they are the "Spam, Not a real question, or Belongs on Sister site" questions... all of which I'm not interested in.  Alternatively any chance they could be styled similar to "ignored tag" questions where they are almost faded out?

What is "playing too long"? How much is too long?    How long is "rest for a few minutes"?  What is the purpose of this feature? Player benefits? Account maintenance?

I have attempted to prevent my screen from locking when plugged in for 3 hours, but it is not happening. These are my settings:    Nevertheless, if I leave my computer for 15 minutes it locks, even though it is plugged in. Is there some setting somewhere that is overriding these settings?  The screen locks after 10 minutes, just timed it.
