Protect your PC with a hard-drive password

Protect your PC with a hard-drive password A user-account password is important for security, but it's useless if your PC is lost or stolen; a thief could just install your hard drive in another PC instead of trying to boot it up under your name. To block access, add a password to the hard disk. This process is simpler than encrypting the hard disk, but it can't match encryption's level of security. (Encryption scrambles data so that even if a thief gains access, he probably can't make sense o… Continue

Networking Tricks

Sling files to other PCs over Bluetooth If your laptop has built-in Wi-Fi, there's a good chance it can also network through Bluetooth. Wi-Fi, Ethernet and other connection methods transfer files more quickly than Bluetooth does, and those networking technologies are better for recurring connections (such as in an office network). But Bluetooth is my secret winner for slinging small files directly -- and almost instantly -- between any two desktops or laptops that have Bluetooth capability. It'… Continue

High Court Considers School Strip-Search WASHINGTON (April 22) -- The Supreme Court seemed worried Tuesday about tying the hands of school officials looking for drugs and weapons on campus as they wrestled with the appropriateness of a strip-search of a 13-year-old girl accused of having prescription-strength ibuprofen.

Astronomers Find Earth-Sized Planet

HATFIELD, England (April 21) - In the search for Earth-like planets, astronomers zeroed in Tuesday on two places that look awfully familiar to home. One is close to the right size. The other is in the right place. European researchers said they not only found the smallest exoplanet ever, called Gliese 581 e, but realized that a neighboring planet discovered earlier, Gliese 581 d, was in the prime habitable zone for potential life. The Holy Grail of current exoplanet research is the detection of… Continue
