Re: OT: Computer Networking
Why resort to about  fig when there is an easy control in the options ui?

Re: OT: Computer Networking
Because it's a lot easier to describe how to do it in about  fig than to walk through how to find it in the gui?

Re: OT: Computer Networking
Even though I already described where it was in the UI?

Re: OT: Computer Networking
WEP encryption is a Piece of S***. The keys are easily hacked and can only withstand 10-15 minutes from your amatur hacker, only a couple of minutes or less if you're facing a dedicated attack.
Upgrade to a WPA standard, install a good firewall, and -if possible- reduce the signal power of your wireless transmitter by as much as possible. The average wireless router from big box retailers has a range of 150-200 feet and most of your neighbors are less than that.

It's ok, I also ROT-13 everything. Twice.

Re: OT: Computer Networking
here is a good question for you guys to ponder. I was told that all laptops sold since 2005ish are shipped with a GPS devices. Is there any truth to this, and if so, how would I identity my laptops GPS?

Re: OT: Computer Networking
I don't think this is true. As far as I know it's fairly rare for a laptop to have built in GPS. A lot of my dad's friends are fishermen, and they use a laptop plus GPS for navigation, and all of them have a seperate GPS that plugs into the laptop.
