  1. Except encrypting folders and files is worthless unless the encryption is higher than 128bits. A decent computer with the right software can easily crack 64 bits in 5 minutes at most.
  2. You're kidding right?!? The firewall that comes with windows doesn't do anything but annoy the crap out of computer users. If you know little about firewalls, i guess u'll probably use windows firewall but I've used many other firewalls. Even Tiny Personal Firewall v2.0 works better than windows firewall. (TPF is now known as Tiny Software and there's been about 5-8 other versions after v2.0)
  3. There isn't anything wrong with running more than one. With firewalls, I always like to run more than one since i've seen some firewalls that report back to the company with who knows what. But I personally like ZoneAlarm and AVG the best.In my opinion, Norton is the worst AV software there is. I've used it once and i hated it. I only had it for a day but i got the funniest alert that day. Within 20 seconds of use, Norton had identified itself as a high-risk virus/trojan
  4. After many years of dealing with M$, there's one thing i've learned. DON'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING THAT'S GOOD ABOUT THEIR PRODUCT! Everything that was supposed to boost security with Vista doesn't exactly work. Also, M$'s 'new' security impliments are just annoying. If anyone has used Vista u'll be way too familiar with the annoying little box that appears each time u want to do something. I'll admit that this has gotten better but it's very annoying.
  5. Well users of Firefox 2.0.0.1 are pretty safe from this flaw. On the other hand, internet explorer users are in for a long haul. M$ is not known for releasing frequent updates or updates that work.
  6. well Dice finally fixed the titan lag issue (well most of it). They were lazy and decided to downgrade to 48 person servers instead of reworking the code so that 64 people can be on a server without massive amounts of lag. Most server admins have already set rules designed to limit lag so lag really isn't a problem anymore on most large servers which are properly managed. 2142 is pretty much a modded version of bf2 but much more addicting. I usually play on leetservers, UN, or NAEA. My BF2142 ID is dsc007.In 2142, the worst thing a commander can possibly do is ramming the enemy titan with the titan
  7. I've had vista RTM for quite some time and i've installed a few games on Vista. i.e. Battlefield 2142, BF2, COD2, Halo, NFS, etc. With the new Nvidia drivers for Vista these games work fine but sometimes the menus and loading screens are a bit glitchy but the gameplay is much better than XP sp2. However, if anyone is a gamer on windows 2000, don't upgrade to vista just yet. Windows 2000 still plays better
  8. Generally, the wireless router should be as close to the center of the house as possible. I've had good experiences with Linksys, D-link, and belkin. Netgear wasn't a very good experience. The router would have frequent blackouts after a month and the adapter wasn't any better (negative ping). Personally, I like draft-n from linksys and belkin.
  9. I can type at an average of 102wpm the last time i actually checked about a year ago. In middle school, we used to have to use these stupid typing programs everyday. The worst of these programs was Mavis Beacon. Has anyone even used or heard of this program?
  10. Generally, compaqs are not rated for gaming, they're rated for mobile workstation or for general use. However, they will run games on low settings on stock hardware which is usually a geforce 6150 for some models
  11. I like http://www.freedomain.pro/ but sometimes when i feel like signing up for a new url, the sign ups are closed. Doesn't seem to happen anymore but when it does, it takes way too long for the sign ups to become available again.Some free url cloakers are better than others u just have to look around. Some submit your site to google for free. Freedomain.co.nr is supposed to do that but it doesn't really work.
  12. as of now, i still use windows 2000. this is just my opinion but windows 2000 was the best OS that came out of M$ so far. ME was a disaster, XP SP2 was worse, and Vista is just unstable. I know people say that vista is a bad rip-off of Mac OS X and the design actually resembles osx a lot. Not sure if it's true but some people claimed that leopard looks more like vista than vista looks like tiger. Not that it really matters, the only real use for Windows is for games (vista RTM doesn't even work very well with current games)
  13. It's just my opinion but i think that CE is better, most halo games are modded anyway. I've played on a lot of halo (pc) servers and most of them were modded so that everyone starts with rockets. Besides, its much more fun when you haven't played a map before. The only downside is that sometimes there isn't any ppl on CE servers and the maps take a while to download from the server (even on high-speed)
