    Searching for white laminate flooring

    A little off topic, but not by much. I've uploaded an informative post about what to be aware of before buying laminate. It's meant to dissolve myths and help buy with confidence. Anyone wants to take a look, it can be found on my blog. No pressure, I'm not trying to sell you. ;)

    Modem

    DMZ Mode means - Demilitarized zone mode; Basically, it makes whatever device you link it to the main receiving node, all incoming connections will forward to that device, in most cases, unprotected. I'd only recommend using this on a device such as a PS3 or gaming console, not an actual...

    Modem

    Not using your firewall leaves you exposed to various risks. Using it responsibly still lets you do all the things you expect to on your machine or gaming rig. If you choose to drop the firewall, it's easier to get into the vulnerable ports and compromise your machine for the benefit of the...

    Script errors are often problems with code on the medium or website youre using that translate into a popup for you asking to debug. More often than not, it's not something you've done or wrong with your pc. Just beware of the misleading "You have a virus! Click here to clean" popups. They...
