As shiff says, if it's just showing up as an available network, you have no real concerns-except maybe to change your own network to some non-default channel. That may even get yo…

I changed the channel my router uses and it seems to have resolved one issue and helped to ease some of my concerns. This "Cornerstone" that kept appearing was using channel 11. …

Is there any software tools one can use to view who is accessing or using a wireless network?

Check out MacStumbler. You can probably find it at MacUpdate.com and/or VersionTracker.com

this is a hypothetical question. if i had two linux box running openmosix on a linksys integrated router/hub and i run both of those boxes through ssh from my powerbook. would it …

I recently found a local community college that is offering an intro course on perl, and I thought I might try it out. Now, the various languages are not too obvious to me, as to w…

C is popular, it's everywhere. It's offshoots are C++, which is immensly popular, and on the OS side of things: C# for windows and Object C for macs. Java is the most portable, b…

I second the php idea. Basically php is a scripting language that runs on web servers to produce web pages. It is similar to c in syntax. The basic concepts are identical to any l…

Turn off your iBook firewall?

That's the thing.... It makes no difference!!! If i turn off the firewall, the NAT on my Xbox 360 is still set to moderate which means something isn't right... The thing is, wh…
