Best Computer Quotes of All-Time!

Computers must be female. No one but the creator understands their internal logic. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else. The message "Bad command or file name" is about as informative as, "If you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell you." Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for later retrieval. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. ~Author Unknown

How to create a password on your Wi-Fi or wireless router?

Here’s a simple guide to protect your Wireless or Wi-Fi router from unauthorized access of your Internet connection using Windows, Mac or Linux/Ubuntu.

I have bought a wireless router in my home so that everybody in the house can access the internet with ease and hassle-free.

After a week, I have noticed that my internet speed went slower than usual, so when I checked the router's status by logging on to http://192.168.1.1 (Linksys default), I have noticed that there are more computers or laptops already been accessing my wireless router. So what I did, I created and placed a password or enabled the password so that it will block the unauthorized computers to access my wireless router and even the internet.

EIA/TIA 568A and EIA/TIA 568B UTP Color-Code Standards

Perhaps the widest known and most discussed feature of TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 is the definition of pin/pair assignments for eight-conductor 100-ohm balanced twisted-pair cabling, such as Category 3, Category 5 and Category 6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables. These assignments are named T568A and T568B and they define the pinout, or order of connections, for wires in 8P8C (often incorrectly referred to as RJ45) eight-pin modular connector plugs and sockets. Although these definitions consume only one of the 468 pages in the standards documents, a disproportionate amount of attention is paid to them. This is because cables that are terminated with differing standards on each end will not function normally.
