I got 4 for 7 bucks apiece at Big Lots. Dont lose the key though or your facing a reload. |
All my systems are now running truecrypt system whole drive encryption. This along with the bios password should be enough to keep casual users out. I just have to make sure I log off when I'm away from home. Part of the reason I built a folding@home farm was so i could start shutting down my main system. It's tough when you leave others to watch your house. i trust the guy who actually house sits for us, but some of his friends think they are computer genius's and those are the guys i worry about. Lately I've become a fan of the truecrypt system encryption, it's free, pretty fast and protects the entire drive. The latest version even encrypts the hibernation file on my laptop so as long as I make sure my laptop is shutdown or in hibernation things are good.
Goldenchessboard,
for all I know somone called up got them to reset my password and then abused my account. This is possible because i did receive a couple e-mail messages saying that my password had been reset. All i really know is i enjoyed WoW and was quite pissed about the whole thing. I've been trying to get up to speed with DDO, but I'm a creature of habit and I can see that I'm in for a bit of a re-learning curve.
Blizzard was starting to piss me off anyway by charging an arm and a leg for the program and then wanting the other arm and leg for the expansion pack all while sweeping up monthly charges to play the game. Then they started talking about yet another expansion pack.........It was starting to feel like extortion. I could see charging $15 or $20 for the expansion, but not $50 or $60.
