Here are some pretty good Windows Vista video tutorials. I learned some Vista features that I did not know about.

Powering a computer up and down limits its life span. The extreme temperature and current swings of power cycling can stress electronic components (especially capacitors and diodes) in a machine.
Fact: Power cycling healthy electronics is not a source of stress. The same electrical components that are used in IT equipment are used in complex devices that are routinely subjected to power cycles and temperature extremes, such as factory-floor automation, medical devices, and your car.

There is a kernel of truth in this myth, however: Cycling power on a sick system is going to bring attention to latent component weaknesses that go unnoticed in operation. Power-on diagnostics are brief yet rigorous and can be performed remotely on servers with dedicated management controllers. Power cycling doesn’t just save energy. It’s a zero-cost aid to maximizing server availability.

It is confirmed! What I said about WPA was correct. If you use a very strong password when using WPA-TKIP you are safe from everyone but the most determined hacker. They would have to really want to get in your network pretty bad to set in front of your house for days and may weeks with a very criptic password. Still they would not have full access. I still have not switched my wireless to WPA2 but I have a great password. Get your perfect passwords from GRC!

I’ve previously posted about Sandboxie. I use and think it works well but I don’t know why or how. Here is an intire
