    apple products are way too cheap compared to their competitors. For instance a fully loaded macbook is about $1099 and it comes features like on board camera, wireless and blue tooth etc in a very small compact form of 13". If you compare that with other brand names like HP and IBM you will realize the laptops that have those features are their high end and are close to 2k. Of course if you dont mind buying some huge machine from azer or gateway you can save some bucks but it comes with the price of loosing a shoulder. From my experience apple products are worth the prize and the simplicity of their technology is what drives their market. Comparing bare bone to apple products is a complete disservice and we all know how wild apples differ in terms of taste from domestic cultivars like the macintosh. They might both be apples but they taste considerably different.

    my first computer i ever owned was 286 with monochromatic monitor running windows 3.11 and ever since i used all the versions of windows up to XP. Just about a year ago i bought black macbook with tiger and upgraded now to leopard, ever since i am disgusted about Microsoft and their products as they are nothing but a expensive junk. When leopard was released even though it is light speeds ahead of vista in terms of functionality it was only $130 dollars while vista the ultimate version is close to $500. Mac OS is now fully loaded unix flavor and has all the major shells available and we all know unix is a very secure operating system. I am not as careful i used to be when used to use windows and dont have spyware problems anymore and viruses etc and feel comfortable visit any site on the net without caution.

    Isseh ( i am not a hacker but i will try if i can help you)

     

    if you are unable to connect to the router through wirelessly then plug the ethernet cable to the router and to your computer. Then type the ip address of the router in the address bar of your browser. Depending on the brand you are using, for instance dlink routers have default ip address of 192.168.0.1 and the default login id is admin with no password and linksys ip address is 192.168.1.1 and the pasword try admin. If you get an access then change the setting and secure it very nicely with WPA encryption as it is better than WEP and also hide your ssid as it invites newbie hackers. If you cant log on then reset the router physically by following the manufacture's manual. i hope this addresses your problem.

    I have ethio neighbor and the guy had unsecured dlink router that kept popping on my macbook all the time. For a while i was a leech until one night my ********* over powered me and i decided to download Solaris OS close to 5 gig data. The flowing night the guy was no were to be seen again and prior to this i knew he was on a quota system were he was limited to a 6 gig data download per month. I think the ISP gave him a shitt and told him to secure his box or loose the service. Perhaps if it wasn't my foolishness i could have been a leech for a while and wouldn't worry about getting bloody expensive dsl/cable connection. At the moment i am thinking experimenting wifi high gain antennas coupled with wireless signal repeater as i often see some unsecured networks with weak signals popping. For me the rules of engagement are you either secure it or else be shared. There are plenty of wifi intrusion software like kismac out there but i do think it is wrong to break a secured network.

    Must be evolutionary trait. Nomad must seek the news of green pasture and must know if his foes are gonna attack and raid his livestock which pretty much boils to peace and prosperity. Politics on the other hand deals with the same issues just slightly more complex but the fundamentals are the same and if i am not mistaking the major concern of politics is peace and prosperity for a society.

    I am not very much familiar with american politics but i think they need a change to take place if they ever want to hold on to their position of the world. The era of cowboy diplomacy is pretty much done and much of the old tricks are too lame for the new breed of dogs out there and if a nation is not evolving what waits is only their demise. I guess they the americans know what is good for their nation and the only thing we can do is hope for the choice they make is also a one that is good for the rest of the planet.

    I have just read another thread that criticized the language skills of some couple days ago and now it is on income source. Now i am somewhat paranoid about you chicks wallahi and coming to the conclusion you do nothing but observe how others conduct them selves. Waryaa waxaad cadaabta ugu badan tihiin waxba ka jira......Having said that i am all ready anticipating a lot of shoes flying on my direction i better duck...
