It amazes me how many people still don’t understand the importance of securing their wireless network. Sharing your broadband Internet connection with your friends and neighbors is cool! But you need to be smart about it. If my neighbor wants to borrow my internet connection all they have to do is ask and I will be more than happy to help out. I will even come set it up for them. But A geek like myself sends a lot of sensitive information around the internet and I am not willing to do this on an open or unsecured network.

The fastest way to install Windows 7 is from a USB flash drive . There are many ways to do this and this guide was written to work with most setups. It is also possible to install Windows 7 from a USB DVD drive that has it’s own dedicated power source but it’s usually not possible to install an operating system from a DVD drive that is only powered by the USB port. This is because the ports do not provide power immediately upon powering up the PC.

If i’m going to have my laptop stolen I at least want to be the coolest geek in town and walk into the police station with a photo of the thief!
